Stage 2 Character Art Projects | Search For A Star 2018

March 13, 2018March 13, 2018 Dan Dudley 0

For the 2018 challenge, students were asked to create a character to an industry brief, presented in a set of emotive poses. Unlike previous years, everyone was given creative control of the concept, theme, style & story of their artwork, allowing more freedom of expression. As a result, we’ve ended up with an amazing range of submissions for 2018.

The projects include the bestial oddities of Leslie Stowe‘s Lizardman Shamen and the Gigantoraptor from Chloe McCann, alongside realistic depictions with Shannon Symonds‘ Peacock Knight and Walter the Town Guard by Georgia Jeffries, plus wonderfully stylised characters with Emily Davison‘s 60s Boy Scout to the Borderlands-inspired Ash by Kial Oliver-Gibson.

As with the other categories, this years work has been of a very high standard and we hugely appreciate the work of our assessment team in creating a shortlist for the finals!

In total, 26 students submitted environment art projects across a range of themes and styles, with 18 in the Search For A Star tier and 8 in Sumo Digital Rising Star.
