ITAP - Development of ideas & structure in moving image

Character Design

The 2 key elements in character design for video games is personality and appearance to justify if a villain or hero. Depending on the age group of course you need to know the target audience. Here is an image of the main character Ezio from the Assassins Creed series, he is an assassin a brotherhood who seeks revenge of the murder of his family but discovers a bigger conspiracy. His appearance is hooded, obscured and almost monk like to fit in large crowds, the artist has made the character more stealth by giving Ezio hidden compartments to hide his blades and gun. The biggest thing about Ezio and the previous assassin Altier from Assassins Creed is the red and white colour choice of clothing to make the character stand out from the crowd as they wear all earthy dense clothing and for the player to easy recognize the main character from the crowd.
