Character Design

We specialize in character design and creation for the film, television, advertising, and video game industries.

Imbuing a character with soul and personality is a crucial goal for the development of any animation project, whether in the film, television, advertising, or video game industry.

At Alkimia Animation Studio, we handle all aspects of character design, from the initial exploration and sketches to the full development: turnarounds, color palettes, expression studies, and style guides.

Do you have a project that needs to come to life by bringing its characters and world into an audiovisual environment? If so, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Processes

Character design and creation go far beyond just aesthetics. Just as a movie wouldn’t work the same way with different actors, the same applies to characters. It is essential to infuse soul and vitality into the characters of our story if we want them to convey emotions to the audience and connect with them. With this goal in mind, it’s easier to start shaping our project. The pre-production and initial documentation phase is crucial, as it will lay a solid and coherent foundation on which to build our characters.

Following all this, we create sketches until we find a unique model that incorporates all the necessary elements to make it work within the story. It’s important to always keep in mind the audience and target demographic. We work on pose sketches, expressions, character views (turnarounds), movement and action lines, color studies, as well as all style guides.
