What we built

Product pieces that make the experience work.

Dark fantasy character

A winged sorcerer design balances silhouette, costume language, and fantasy storytelling cues.

Turnaround views

Front, side, and back references clarify proportions, costume structure, and 3D readability.

Expression studies

Focused face and mood studies support a stronger character personality and presentation range.

Material exploration

Fabric, feathers, metal, and prop surfaces are explored for a more production-ready design sheet.

Code / Experience / Visuals

Three angles behind the work.

Code

Carl still needed production structure: assets, gallery crops, presentation files, and export-ready visuals were organized so the work can be shown clearly across the portfolio.

Experience

The experience is built around fast visual understanding, letting viewers read the concept, production focus, and strongest design decisions without digging through a long presentation.

Visuals

The visual direction leads with 3d character design, using composition, materials, character, product, or architecture cues to make the work feel premium and inspectable.

Challenge

The challenge was presenting 3d character design with enough production clarity to communicate the concept, craft decisions, and final visual value quickly.

Solution

TomoDev delivered 3D character concept design, Fantasy costume and prop direction, and Turnaround and expression studies, then shaped the result around dark fantasy character, turnaround views, and expression studies so the project reads clearly from first view to final action.
