Designing creatures, aliens, and droids isn’t just about making them look interesting — they need to feel alive, purposeful, and part of the world they belong to. Whether organic or mechanical, the challenge is to balance imagination with function and storytelling.

In this mentorship, you’ll learn to take your designs beyond “cool shapes” and into the realm of the iconic. We’ll explore anatomy, silhouette, engineering, and the design vocabularies that make both living beings and artificial forms resonate with audiences.

What You’ll Learn

• How to design creatures, aliens, and droids with strong silhouettes and clear identities
• How to balance imaginative shapes with believable anatomy and function
• How to create mechanical designs that feel engineered and purposeful
• How to infuse emotional resonance so designs feel alive and memorable

How It Works

• 10 weeks of private 1-on-1 mentorship
• Weekly Zoom sessions (1–1.5 hrs) to review designs and set goals
• Personalized feedback with paintovers and design notes
• Sessions available in English or French
• Built around your project and artistic goals

Who It’s For

This mentorship is open to artists at all levels who want to specialize in or strengthen their ability to design organic and mechanical characters — from imaginative beasts and alien species to engineered droids. A basic understanding of drawing and form is recommended.

Outcome

By the end of the mentorship, you’ll have a collection of original designs that feel alive, purposeful, and unforgettable — ready to expand your portfolio or develop further into larger projects.
