Workshop: World Building & Storytelling Through Thoughtful Character Design!

Join video game narrative designer Rohil Aniruth (Breaking Games’ Infinite Jonathans, Free Lives’ Eat The Rich), visual art educator Chaise Frederick, and special guest artist MONKEEMOTO for a live character design workshopping session. You and your fellow up-and-coming character designers will craft a brand-new original character from scratch, from backstory to visual execution. This workshop explores the interplay between lore, personality, and aesthetics, and how each of these pillars informs the others to produce characters that not only look badass but also connect deeply with audiences. Bring your sketchbooks and markers for a chance to win exclusive art prints! This workshop is for all skill levels and fans just looking to have fun doing something creative!
