5-day intensive character-driven Worldbuilding workshop with Joseph Cross (Ex-Franchise Art Director, Marathon at Bungie) and Simon Tosovsky (Concept Artist, Marathon at Bungie).

 

Over 5 days, you'll build your own world from the ground up , drawing directly from Joseph's process on Marathon, Destiny, Dune, Dead Space, and Foundation. Joseph and Simon specialise in character-driven worldbuilding: the factions, silhouettes, uniforms, and equipment that make a universe feel real and inhabited. You'll leave with a personal world project anchored by its core characters and visual language, developed with daily feedback from artists who shaped Marathon at Bungie.

 

SCHEDULE

Day 1: Joseph opens the week with his process on Marathon , how "graphic realism" became the backbone of the world, and how factions and characters anchored it. Simon launches your assessment exercise and sets your creative brief: the world you'll build this week.

Days 2-4: Simon works alongside you daily , research, faction structure, silhouettes, uniforms, gear. Focus on building characters and the world they inhabit.

Day 5: Joseph returns. He critiques every world , your characters, visual choices, and hierarchy , and shows you exactly how to elevate them. The same feedback loop he uses on his teams.
