Bring your stories to life with exceptional character design services from Creative Fosters. Whether you’re creating an animated series, developing a game, producing marketing content, or building a brand identity, compelling characters make all the difference between forgettable content and experiences that resonate deeply with audiences. Our talented team of character designers and animators specialises in crafting memorable, expressive characters that capture hearts, tell stories, and drive engagement across every platform and medium.
Characters are the emotional core of visual storytelling. They’re how audiences connect with your message, remember your brand, and engage with your content. At Creative Fosters, we understand that great character design goes beyond attractive visuals – it’s about personality, emotion, movement, and the subtle details that make characters feel alive. Our comprehensive approach combines artistic excellence with strategic thinking, ensuring every character we create serves your creative vision whilst achieving your business objectives.
Creating memorable characters starts with understanding your story, audience, and objectives. Our character design services begin with in-depth consultations where we learn about your project, brand personality, target demographic, and the role each character plays in your narrative. We don't just draw attractive figures - we develop fully realised characters with distinct personalities, motivations, and visual identities that support your storytelling goals.
The demand for dimensional characters continues to grow across gaming, film, virtual reality, augmented reality, and interactive experiences. Our 3D character design services create stunning three-dimensional characters optimised for your specific application. We work with industry-standard software to model, texture, and prepare characters for animation, rendering, or real-time engines.
Transforming concepts into three-dimensional reality requires both artistic skill and technical expertise. Our 3D character modelling company specialises in creating production-ready models that maintain the charm and personality of the original design whilst meeting the technical demands of modern production pipelines. We work with various polygon counts and detail levels depending on your platform and performance requirements.
Static characters are just the beginning - movement brings them truly to life. Our character animation services transform designed characters into expressive, dynamic performers that captivate audiences. We specialise in performance animation that conveys personality, emotion, and story through movement, timing, and the subtle details that separate mechanical motion from genuine performance.
Traditional frame-by-frame animation and modern digital techniques both fall under our 2D character animation service offerings. Two-dimensional animation carries a unique charm and aesthetic appeal that resonates with audiences across demographics. Whether you're seeking classic hand-drawn style, modern digital 2D animation, or puppet-based character animation, our team delivers expressive, engaging results.
Sometimes projects require resources beyond what individual studios can provide. Our character animation studios' partnership approach allows us to collaborate on large-scale projects, bringing together specialised talent and expanded capacity. Whether you're a production company needing animation support, a studio requiring overflow capacity, or an agency seeking a reliable creative partner, we integrate seamlessly into existing workflows.
From hyper-realistic to wildly stylised, our artists adapt to any aesthetic rather than forcing projects into a house style
We handle every stage from initial sketches through final animation, ensuring consistency and quality throughout
Our team understands the technical requirements of various platforms, optimising characters for their intended medium
Every character serves the narrative, with design choices supporting personality, role, and emotional impact

Compelling characters create emotional connections that turn casual viewers into engaged fans, one-time customers into loyal advocates, and forgettable content into memorable experiences. Don't settle for generic designs or characters that fail to capture your vision. At Creative Fosters, we're passionate about creating characters that resonate, delight, and drive results for Australian businesses and creators.
Get In Touch
Beginning a character project doesn’t require you to have everything figured out. We’re happy to discuss ideas at any stage of development, from vague concepts to detailed briefs. During our initial consultation, we learn about your project, discuss visual references you find appealing, review any existing brand guidelines, and explore budget and timeline considerations.
We provide honest assessments about what’s achievable within your constraints and suggest approaches that maximise impact whilst respecting budget realities. Whether you need a single character or an entire cast, simple designs or complex creations, we tailor our services to your needs.
For clients new to working with character designers, we guide you through the process, explaining options and helping you make informed decisions about style, complexity, and scope. Our goal is to make professional character design accessible and enjoyable, not intimidating.
Our team includes artists with diverse backgrounds, styles, and specialisations. This variety allows us to tackle any project regardless of aesthetic requirements. Whether you need characters for children’s content, mature audiences, corporate communications, gaming, or any other application, we have artists who excel in that style and understand that audience.
Many designers create beautiful static artwork that proves difficult or impossible to animate effectively. Our team includes both designers and animators, ensuring characters are designed with movement in mind. We consider joint placement, proportions that deform well, detail levels appropriate for the animation budget, and all the practical considerations that separate animation-ready designs from purely illustrative work.
Characters serve purposes beyond looking attractive. They communicate brand values, appeal to specific demographics, differentiate you from competitors, and create emotional connections with audiences. Our character development process considers these strategic factors alongside aesthetic concerns.
We’ve delivered character work across various applications – animated series, feature films, games, advertising campaigns, brand mascots, educational content, and more. This diverse experience means we understand the practical requirements of different media and can anticipate challenges before they arise.
Creative work involves collaboration, trust, and clear communication. We pride ourselves on being reliable partners who deliver quality work on schedule whilst remaining responsive to feedback and willing to revise until you’re completely satisfied. Our transparent approach to pricing, timelines, and processes eliminates surprises and builds confidence.

Two-dimensional character design creates characters viewable from specific angles, typically used in traditional animation, illustrations, and certain game styles. Three-dimensional character design creates fully modelled characters viewable from any angle, used in modern games, CGI animation, and VR experiences. The choice depends on your project type, budget, and aesthetic goals. 2D generally costs less and works beautifully for certain styles, whilst 3D offers more flexibility for interactive applications and cinematic content. During consultation, we help determine which approach best serves your specific project and budget.
Timeline varies based on complexity, number of revisions, and whether you need just design or also modelling and animation. A simple 2D character design might take 1-2 weeks from concept to final artwork, whilst a fully modelled, textured, and rigged 3D character could require 4-8 weeks. Complex characters with detailed costumes, props, or unique features take longer. We provide specific timeline estimates after understanding your requirements during the initial consultation. Our project planning accounts for revision rounds and client feedback, ensuring realistic schedules that we can reliably meet.
Absolutely. Our team can adapt to match existing art styles, whether that’s maintaining consistency with established characters, emulating a particular aesthetic, or working within brand guidelines. We’re equally comfortable creating entirely original styles tailored specifically to your project. During our creative process, we explore various directions and can reference specific styles or inspirations you appreciate, whilst ensuring the final result is unique to your project and avoids copying other creators’ work.
We’ll need information about your project, target audience, and how characters will be used. Helpful materials include project descriptions, visual references showing styles you like, existing brand guidelines if applicable, character descriptions or backstories, and any technical requirements. Don’t worry if you haven’t developed all these details – we can help refine concepts through collaborative discussion. The more context you provide about your goals and preferences, the better we can tailor our work, but we’re experienced at working with everything from detailed briefs to loose concepts.
We offer both character design and animation services, either separately or as complete packages. Some clients need only design work, planning to animate characters themselves or through other teams. Others prefer our end-to-end service, where we design and animate characters, ensuring optimal results since designers and animators collaborate from the beginning. We’re flexible and can work however best suits your project structure and team capabilities. Our integrated approach to design and animation often results in better outcomes since characters are designed specifically for how they’ll move.
