Creating a character isn’t simple. To do so, it is important to take into account different rules that will serve as a guide to obtain a good final result. Paying attention to the visual elements becomes an almost mandatory task to make the connection between the story and the elements. Humanizing the characters is another key point. Analyzing their body shapes, details, clothes or even their expressions will make them unique and different from the rest.

There are many companies currently dedicated to the design of characters for video games. These are a fundamental pillar and for this reason it is important to design them applying the correct foundations. Although at first glance it may seem simple, it has taken a great deal of work to make them so well known today.
