BESPOKE 2D CHARACTER DESIGN SERVICES

We mastered top design tools and the most up-to-date technologies to bring to life exemplary 2D characters that meet and exceed the needs of our Clients.

2D CARD GAME
CHARACTER DESIGN

Digital copies of tabletop top games are getting traction these days. And let’s face it, most of the cards are about 2D characters. It is often a challenge to capture their personality in a single render. Luckily we have artists with vast experience in creating tabletop games and cards, in particular. Your sci-fi protagonist or a medieval guard, or an anime fighter will look crisp with a bit of magic.

CASUAL CHARACTER
DESIGN

Our team offers end-to-end character design and support for casual games. We got solid hands-on experience working on match-three titles, runers, platformers and other popular game genres. Argentics’ artists focus on creating conspicuous and memorable game characters. We truly believe that every project is unique and spare no effort to make both your main hero and bit parts nail it. Our game art team leverages its vast experience to help your title stand out.

STYLIZED 2D
CHARACTER DESIGN

We designed many dozen compelling stylized characters for various game genres. May you need a vintage hero from the 70s, a grotesque fantasy swamp behemoth or a hell-bent on vengeance steampunk villain, we are here to bring your vision to file, no stone unturned. Be it a mobile storytelling app or a desktop visual novel, our artists are primed and ready to take on the challenge and make your 2D characters the heart-and-soul of the game.

2D CARTOON
CHARACTER DESIGN

Children are a special audience with particular tastes. Creating a 2D cartoon character for minors takes a different view and approach when compared to other 2D art styles. Our team completed a number of projects for kids like cartoony platformers, AR-flavoured books and video promos. We know how to design eye-catching 2D content for all age groups of children. Our artists create characters that appeal to children of different ages.

OUR APPROACH AND BENEFITS

We create brisk 2D characters that become the centerpiece of many games. Our character designers are well versed in different styles and can convey all the traits of your game actors.

BESPOKE 2D CHARACTER DESIGN

Our designers work with different styles depending on the game's genre and setting. There are certain visual ‘standards’ for match-three, platformer or storytelling projects.
