Interview with
Concept Artist Riesun
Question.01
What is your goal for this class?
I want to share to you the techniques I developed to come up with and apply design elements using references that aren't from the game based on my experience in the industry. Instead of creating new things out of nothing, I'll show you we use pre-existing references to make even better design elements for character designs with a commercial-artistic approach, and I will use it to guide you on how to quickly improve your painting skills.
Question.02
How does this class stand out from others?
I made numerous character concept art for 9 years, and I believe that I have a strong advantage in identifying popular trends that the users will like and applying them as design elements in characters. Through this class, I'll share you my personal tips on maintaining a sharp design sense and reacting to the quickly changing trends.
Question.03
What can the students take from this class?
I'm going to suggest a systematic approach to character designs for students who reached a high level of painting and composing but find it hard to establish design standards. By giving answers to students who couldn't tell what designs and references are good, I'll help them create highly competitive character designs that stand out among others.
