Join concept art legends Paul Richards and Daryl Mandryk as they showcase complementary approaches to dark fantasy character design.
Paul has worked on properties such as Darksiders, the Halo franchise and Paragon. Daryl’s credits also include the Darksiders games, along with Star Wars, the Insomniac Spider-Man titles, Remnant 2 and more.
Paul’s sessions will teach you how to build an iconic female warrior with a bold silhouette, decisive shape language, and production-ready form that art directors can read at a glance. He’ll also share thoughts on idea development, using storytelling to scope projects for a clear sense of direction.
Right afterwards, Daryl will forge the villainess mini-boss with his own more maximalist take on these subjects. Additionally, he’ll focus on concepting with gameplay and encounter design in mind, and how to problem-solve within real production constraints.
Each will cover their workflows and design philosophies for both characters and their weapons, split across two sessions each. If time allows, they will also demonstrate targeted concept design passes on environments and props. Both guest instructors will field live questions directly from the audience for a truly interactive experience.
Attendees will get lifetime access to all session recordings, demos, brush packs and resources so they can follow along with the lessons at their leisure, along with exclusive access to our community Discord server.
