2D CHARACTER DESIGNERS
AT YOUR SERVICE
Creating rad characters from scratch is a team task. Normally it involves the following experts.
# ART LEAD
Being a person with a wealth of experience in game art, art lead directs his/her colleagues from the very first steps of the project. A lead conveys the art mood style, message etc. Also, this person makes sure that each and every team member involved in the project is on the same page with the Client’s vision on a regular basis.
# PROJECT MANAGER
Project managers act as the major point of contact. They translate Client’s vision on many important points, like 2D game art, to the rest of the teammates and ensure that the game art team runs like clockwork. Project Managers effectively lead large art groups by keeping every member in line with the final goals. The role is responsible for planning and observing game project deadlines, managing artists and other people involved in game development.
# SENIOR 2D CHARACTER
DESIGNER
Grizzled 2D artists that know how to deliver in the most time-effective manner. They do the heavy lifting for the entire 2D art team by taking on the most challenging tasks. Normally it is a senior artist who creates the first characters that serve as the benchmark for the entire project.
# 2D CHARACTER ARTIST
There are different directions in 2D art. And of course, there are a plethora of design styles. We have artists that excel in various 2D character modelling directions: cartoony, realistic, stylized etc. Rest assured, we will tailor the team for your specific needs.
# 2D CONCEPT ARTIST
Concept artists lay the groundwork for the entire art team, including 2D designers. They are the first to translate Client’s vision into catchy concept art. Just like 2D game art experts, concept artists often specialize and excel in specific art niches and styles.
# TECHNICAL ARTIST
The last but not the least on the list is a technical artist. To put it short, this person is responsible for smooth integration of 2D art into game engines. A technical artist bridges the gap between creative and technical. As an example, setting a proper game lighting or creating a cool shader are just a few things a technical artist is responsible for.
