You’ve created an entire world for your newest video game minions to explore, and every detail is rendered out to perfection. The plot is solid, gameplay is dope, and there are a million hidden corners to interact with and explore. There’s just one problem…

Your characters are bo-ring!

In fact, every time you run a test you cringe at the generic NPCs you’re interacting with, and the lack of accessories and personalization of your video game character design is ruining the experience and killing all your hard work. 

Creating compelling characters is challenging enough, but once you’ve got their vibe on point, it’s time to round out their look and bring them to life with helmets, swords, handbags, stilettos, and anything else they might need to dial their personalities up to 11. Fortunately, you don’t have to start from scratch for every Master Sword or Sentinel Hammer. The digital artists in Cubebrush’s community have created thousands of game-ready accessories to enhance your video game character design, and they can be customized and curated to fit any hero or creature you have in mind. 

Here are a few of our top accessory packages you can use right now to start making more memorable characters in your games.
