Join us for a brand-new episode of “Archetype” with our host Ashley Stegon!

If you're interested in Character Creation, Concept Art, Character Design, and 3D Modeling...then you won't want to miss this weekly series where Senior Character Artist Ashley Stegon shows her tips and tricks on how to make iconic characters in 3D using ZBrush, Unreal, and other software. A Gnomon alumnus and instructor, Ashley has been working in the film and game industry for seven years. Her experience ranges from practical effects and costume making for productions like The Mandalorian, to creating real time Xenomorph critters for Aliens Fireteam Elite.

This weekly livestream series will focus on the 12 literary archetypes, which help foster a sense of familiarity between characters and audiences. Each week, Ashley will detail how she navigates character design, storytelling, and world building. She will also be sharing her creative process and taking viewer prompt suggestions to help her create a new character each month!
