I want this blog to be about all aspects of character design, but with a special look for work that is new and interesting. What better way to start than a real unsung hero: Hiroshi Yoshii.
This man is a giant, since 1999 he has been creating a new character almost every day, and he has now created over 2000 unique characters - what an amazing achievement.
It’s also fascinating to watch his progress, starting with designs made in Painter, then a period working with Zbrush followed by a transition to full 3D for his current work which is done in Modo, which incidentally is also my 3D software of choice. The quality of Hiroshi’s designs have visibly improved over time and when looking at his designs I can’t help but be amazed at the variety and invention he displays.
It’s worth taking the time to go through the archives of Hiroshi’s daily characters, there are so many wonderful creations to find there, you can spend a couple of hours taking it all in.
This man really needs a lot more appreciation on the internet - please shower him with praise and leave comments on his images.
