Abstract
Cultural fusion as a powerful concept has been applied in many animated character designs. It is influenced by the trend of cultural globalization. The concept of cultural fusion has been applied in body motion design, theme and story in animation, but it has not been completely explored as a powerful concept focused on character visual design. This project explores how novel methods of visual cultural fusion can be applied in the visual design of characters. This study offers character designers new methods for character design utilizing cultural fusion and raises awareness and understanding of this powerful concept. Keywords: animated character visual design, visual cultural fusion, character costume design.
