Character Art Designs
When I began my journey in game development, art was a big stepping stone. Especially since I had no experience in 3D modeling or digital drawing. throughout the years, I learned art for games as best I could and have come up with character art styles that have helped me make good-looking games while being easy enough for the beginner that I was. I believe these art styles are also good enough for experienced artists. As a game designer, I like to create new character Art styles. Each art style is designed for specific experience groupings when it comes to art, from beginners to experts.
Funko-Joe
Funko-joe was created for beginner modelers and as you can tell by its name, it is very inspired by Funko pop. the only difference between Funko-joe and Funko pop is the number of heads tall it is. a typical Funko pop is 2 heads tall. A Funko Joe character can be recognized By these features.
1. Round Cube head
2. 3-4 heads tall
3.triangular nose and no mouth
4. body has a low - mid poly like detail
Semi-Noid
Semi-Noid is a little bit more advanced but with a little sculpting practice can be done. Semi-Noid is for those who are still new to 3D art but have some experience. its perfect for those who have trouble sculpting facial feature as well. this is what I currently use and its very good. it is very much inspired my anime. A semi-noid character is recognized by these characteristic.
1. 3 1/2 to 4 heads tall
2. painted anime eyes
3. normal nose, but tiny and cute
4. anime mouth which is just a line, but if the mouth is an iconic part of character then it may look more detailed and different
