• In-Game Costume Design: Develop the in-game costume and equipment, understanding how it will look and function within the game environment.
• Exploration of Character Movement: Create basic thumbnails or keyframes to visualize your character's movements during gameplay or combat scenes.
• Final Render: Master the technique from initial sketch to a polished, full-colour render of your character, complete with lighting and special effects.
