Kwalee is at it again; this time making some sophisticated graphic avatars of their staff. The avatar of CEO Bruce Everiss was created and designed by Kwalee artist Jay Lytwynenko during Creative Wednesday at Kwalee Headquarters.
The avatar holds an iconic Sinclair ZX Spectrum device which Bruce designed many games for in his time working at Imagine Software. The device is also considered the most popular European computers during the 1980s.
The avatar took Jay 3 hours to perfect, and you can see a lot of the work that went into creating the avatar by viewing following videos.
Jay explains how she made the complex design.
“I used Adobe Photoshop as key software to create the image, but also used Adobe Illustrator for the more precise details and graphics. It is painted vector art, a time consuming process that lets me paint in layers, allowing me more artistic freedom.”
She adds: “I want to create avatars to be synonymous with our company, giving everyone a videogame-esque appearance.” David Darling, CEO, is thrilled at the finished avatar of Bruce. “It looks fantastic. You can see from all her work how gifted she is, displaying her passion and skill for concept art and illustration. Jay is a phenomenal artist and brings a unique style to our apps.”
Jay will be creating an avatar of everyone in the Kwalee office, during her allocated Creative Wednesday time, including one of David that will display his second greatest talent, after creating games of course, by holding a table tennis bat. After successfully beating everyone within the Kwalee table tennis championships, he has developed a reputation for his table tennis skills on their website kwalee.com.
These avatars will be used on his or her individual business cards as well as feature on the Kwalee website.
Kwalee recently introduced ‘Creative Wednesdays’ to allow their development team to spend 20 percent of their weekly office hours on personal projects.
