Exploring Custom Avatar Illustration Styles

After nailing down the style, we asked the client to share a short list of hobbies and interests of each of their creators so that we could bring them into their custom avatars. The hand-drawn lines and the ben-day dots add texture and playfulness, while the portraits interacting with a personal item reveal their otherwise hidden joys in life.
