I grew up with video games all around me. I started playing them with my dad before I could even comprehend what was really happening. As I got older I stayed within that community and made some of my best friends through late night gaming sessions. Over the years the rise of esports has began, and continued to grow through the likes of Youtube and Twitch. Within these gaming communities there are endless branding possibilities, from  mascots and stream assests, to full branding of a persons alias. After starting our own "organization" my friends and I needed a logo and a mascot. That is where I fell in love with the creation of these complex icons. Starting with a very basic snake I have worked to create a lineup of fairly advanced mascots. The concepts behind these are recognizable figures that use distinct shapes, and minimal colors to create a striking look.
