Abstract

'Fashion' is one of the most important aspects in game character design. However, despite its influence, analytical approaches in integrating fashion design methods in character designs are rare practices within the industry. The following paper aims point out the practicality of integrating and utilizing theoretical and formative methods in fashion design in creating character concept designs and show how the following application can create visual stimuli for artists in future concepts.

캐릭터 디자인에 있어 '패션'은 캐릭터의 정체성과 성격, 개성과 설정을 한눈에 뚜렷하게 제시해주는 강력한 도구이다. '특정한 시기에 유행하는 복식이나 두발의 일정한 형식'으로 정의되는 패션은 의상뿐만 아니라 다양한 장신구, 헤어를 포함한 메이크업 등을 아우르는 하나의 '이미지'를 창조해낸다. 현재의 트렌드를 선도하고 반영하는 실제 런웨이 위의 패션 디자인과 게임업계 내의 캐릭터 디자인은 서로 영향을 주고 받을 수 밖에 없다. 하지만 이러한 패션의 중요성에 비해 캐릭터 디자인에서 패션 디자인에 대한 분석적인 접근과 접목은 잘 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 게임 캐릭터 디자인과 패션 디자인 사이의 상호 영향에 대한 고찰을 하고, 패션 디자인에 대한 이론적 분석과 조형적 고찰의 접목이 보다 응용된 시각적 시도의 캐릭터 컨셉 디자인에 도움이 된다는 것을 제시하고자 한다.
