Style Over Substance - Creating Character Design with Culture  @GDoCExpo
Uploaded January 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
This talk is about creating character design that generates cultural impact by expressing vivid and varied multicultural backgrounds with real life experiences while avoiding historical inaccuracy when using references and expressing style over substance in a world heavily dictated by practicality on dressing. There will be discussions on iconic characters in media and how their way of dressing expresses their socio background, character backstory and how to apply that to your own characters with vibrant and iconic character design that truly expresses what your story is all about and how alternative fashion subcultures influence and mold my own character designs.
