As part of our ongoing Character Squad Challenge, we're exploring what makes a squad of characters work, how to create personalities that resonate with viewers, and how the pros use archetypes to achieve these goals. This is the second part of a four-week challenge, and we're excited to have you join us on this journey.
The Hulk, Worf, Drax - this is the BRUTE archetype. Join me as we talk about designing and painting a brute character archetype, and we'll cover all the important considerations that a pro concept artist needs to keep in mind when creating this type of character.
If you're interested in participating in the challenge, we'd love for you to join our amazing Discord community (discord.gg/Ts6uAUgW8N) where you can connect with other talented artists and share your work. Don't worry if you're not a pro yet - this challenge is a great way to improve your skills and build a killer portfolio, no matter where you're at in your artistic journey.
So come on in and let's explore the world of concept art characters together!

1:20 - What Makes Character Squads Cool?
4:15 - Archetypes
7:58 - Character Design Checklist
10:31 - Stylization
