Stunning 3d illustrations and character designs by Erwin Kho who never ceases to amaze me. The characters are spirited and fit right into the brief. Pay attention to the difference in emotional communications from the two following projects. One: happy-go-lucky. Two: anonymously-serious. What a feat.
His staging skills and mastering of lighting are superb!

Walter Vasconcelos is an illustrator and designer. He lives in Rio de Janeiro / Brazil and works for clients all over the world.
He likes the idea that an illustration must be "read", deciphered, he doesn’t think of this as a kind of "hermetism", but rather as a way to preserve a "dynamics of creation". It is sometimes good to break the rules and build your own Universe.
Funky characters living in a mix-media collage world.

Allan Sanders aka Loopland was born in a small grey shipbuilding town in the North West of England. After a brief career in computer programming he came to the conclusion that it would be more interesting to make drawings for a living. Proficient in character design.
Glad he did.
