Costume design is extremely common in the video game industry, and offers great, relevant, practice for your personal studies. This portfolio builder offers a one week design challenge for you tackle. Instead of focusing explicitly on Photoshop techniques or brushwork secrets, my focus is the ‘idea generation process’. In each portfolio builder you’ll see me creating a personal example, but the more important demonstration is the method to answer your own challenge. Here you’ll see me create 3 sets of fantasy armor, while offering tips on how to create your own unique results.

Note: This assignment is self directed, and will not be graded. Sadly, I can’t offer reviews or critiques of your results.
