What makes a good Character Design? In this series of character design analysis videos, I attempt to answer this question by evaluating concept art for video games such as Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid. I talk a lot about the presentation but want to focus mostly on shape language, color use, clustering and storytelling.
