Best Nigerian illustrator in the game today, hands down!
Would be cool to play a video game with your artstyle

[@chaar_leyy]

I like where you say it's best if the character has a story

Him coming to kill 1000 people and then finding one person to protect with his life going against his initial directive would make a wholesome story. I’m so into this. Amazing work, I’m inspired

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

This sounds cool. Thanks for the story recommendation!

[@fisayoidowu1652]

Awesome Character bro! I love the detailing, his gear especially the vertebrae worn around the arm, the mask, Everything! 🔥🔥🔥

WHOOOO! Stellar video Uzoma. Loved it.

[@artofBrentWilson]

Would love to see more about your thoughts on shape design and playing with facial and body proportions! You do such a good job at playing to find the characters!

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Thanks, I'll make sure to include more on proportions in future videos.

[@carlbowser4718]

Glad I stumbled upon your channel, I was feeling all out of ideas and then boom here you are in a direction I wanted to explore for years now , 🙏🏾 thank you

[@bechikingston]

gosssh, this is so goood and enlightening

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Thank you so much!

[@chaar_leyy]

I would love a video explaining more on the use of language in character creation ❤

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Sounds interesting. By language, do you mean ethnicity? Character design is a visual art form so not sure how language helps. Could you explain your thought behind this please?

[@chaar_leyy]

@uzomadunkwu1977 oh! I re-read this and realised I made a typo.
I meant to say SHAPE language

[@gbengaajetomobi5509]

Decent 👏🏿

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Thank you sir!

[@ummalucoqualquer5771]

How do you make the face consistent when drawing different poses?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Great question! The head can be broken down into major solid shapes. So I use that and close observation to figure it out. I'll consider doing a video about this. Thanks!

[@giftlovesart8760]

Please can you drop a roadmap for how to structurally learn character design?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Noted. I believe you mean a roadmap from newbie to professional? I can do a video about that soon, thanks!

[@paperbackero]

Hi Uzoma,
I enjoyed every bit of the video and it’s coming at a time when I was wondering why I don’t see Nigerian or African art content. Now subscribed and hope to get a chance to collaborate one day😊

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

I'm glad you found this video useful and insightful. Thanks!

[@kelvinchivise8221]

Quality content bro, keep it up. Is this for comics or animation ?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

It could serve both mediums and more actually including games.

[@inquizitive1]

Good stuff bro is this for a story project?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Possibly. I could develop it in the future.

[@Babycam08]

How do you get into this industry??

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

I showed up on social media regularly and opportunity met preparedness.
