Custom Caricature design for a twitch streamer.
Piece included combining multiple ref photos with his favorite armor set!
That beard detail alone had to take a while, and the armor callbacks make it feel like a proper mashup instead of a generic vector portrait. When you're merging multiple ref photos like this, do you nail the likeness first and layer the gear on after, or block the whole scene in together?
That beard alone looks like it took a while to get the flow right. With multiple ref photos to combine, was the tricky part nailing his likeness or getting the armor details accurate to the game?

All my portraits are hand drawn digitally :) I start with a sketch to map out portions and locations then finalize linework, and detial locations, next is laying down base colors before spending a majority of time on details... the beard taking the most of that this time.
Both...

VIREO — Modern Eyewear Landing Page 👓✨
VIREO is a bold eyewear landing page concept created to present modern glasses as both a functional product and a statement piece.
The goal was to combine the feeling of precision optics with a more expressive, fashion-forward visual direction. Deep electric blue, vibrant yellow accents, oversized typography, and close-up lifestyle photography create a strong identity while keeping the product and its benefits easy to understand.
Special attention was given to:
• a high-impact hero section built around expressive eyewear photography;
• bold color contrast that makes the yellow frames immediately stand out;
• clear product benefits like clarity, protection, and quality;
• a simple Explore Now CTA that keeps the next step obvious;
• product information integrated directly into the visual experience;
• strong typography that supports the brand’s confident personality;
• responsive mobile layouts that preserve the same visual impact on smaller screens 📱;
• a clean balance between fashion-focused imagery and functional product messaging.
The result is a vibrant eyewear experience that feels modern, confident, and product-focused — positioning glasses as something you don’t just wear to see better, but as part of your everyday style. 💛
Looking to create a digital experience for a fashion, eyewear, or lifestyle brand that makes the product impossible to overlook? Let’s build it. 🚀
