[@hotcoldman77]

Best Nigerian illustrator in the game today, hands down! Would be cool to play a video game with your artstyle

[@chaar_leyy]

I like where you say it's best if the character has a story

[@samuelanimaddo7611]

Its giving me Kratos type vibe, love the back story you chose to give to him. Keep up the good work

[@bullivan10]

Him coming to kill 1000 people and then finding one person to protect with his life going against his initial directive would make a wholesome story. I’m so into this. Amazing work, I’m inspired

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

This sounds cool. Thanks for the story recommendation!

[@LaKeiith]

Dope! Thanks for sharing!

[@artofBrentWilson]

Would love to see more about your thoughts on shape design and playing with facial and body proportions! You do such a good job at playing to find the characters!

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Thanks, I'll make sure to include more on proportions in future videos.

[@fisayoidowu1652]

[@carlbowser4718]

Glad I stumbled upon your channel, I was feeling all out of ideas and then boom here you are in a direction I wanted to explore for years now , 🙏🏾 thank you

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

I'm glad you found it helpful. This is a very encouraging message

[@chaar_leyy]

I would love a video explaining more on the use of language in character creation ❤

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Sounds interesting. By language, do you mean ethnicity? Character design is a visual art form so not sure how language helps. Could you explain your thought behind this please?

[@chaar_leyy]

@uzomadunkwu1977 oh! I re-read this and realised I made a typo. I meant to say SHAPE language

[@bechikingston]

gosssh, this is so goood and enlightening

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Thank you so much!

[@Griot-Guild]

this is sickkkkkk ive got alot of characters im trying to make if you need more prompts. itd be cool if you did ancient characters like Mwindu, or even ancient Tichitt, bantu, yoruba characters

[@gbengaajetomobi5509]

Decent 👏🏿

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Thank you sir!

[@kelvinchivise8221]

Quality content bro, keep it up. Is this for comics or animation ?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

It could serve both mediums and more actually including games.

[@giftlovesart8760]

Please can you drop a roadmap for how to structurally learn character design?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Noted. I believe you mean a roadmap from newbie to professional? I can do a video about that soon, thanks!

[@Abit_Designer]

How do you make the face consistent when drawing different poses?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Great question! The head can be broken down into major solid shapes. So I use that and close observation to figure it out. I'll consider doing a video about this. Thanks!

[@paperbackero]

Hi Uzoma, I enjoyed every bit of the video and it’s coming at a time when I was wondering why I don’t see Nigerian or African art content. Now subscribed and hope to get a chance to collaborate one day😊

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

I'm glad you found this video useful and insightful. Thanks!

[@inquizitive1]

Good stuff bro is this for a story project?

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

Possibly. I could develop it in the future.

[@KPACArt]

How do you get into this industry??

[@uzomadunkwu1977]

I showed up on social media regularly and opportunity met preparedness.
