About the opportunity

Design an original character from scratch. Explore their personality, purpose, and powers (if they have them!), and imagine how they fit into a larger story or world. You’ll create a final concept sheet or poster, for either a final boss in a video game OR a children’s book character, complete with sketches, colour choices, traits, and a short summary of who they are.
