Valdi is the mascot and soul of Cervecería Valdivia — a small-batch craft brewery from a town most people had never heard of until he put it on the map.
He arrived with the first hop shipment: nobody invited him, nobody asked him to leave, and he's been the face of the brewery ever since.
In personality he's a host, not an entertainer — unhurried, quietly curious, always already there when you walk in, never the loudest presence in the room.
Today, travelers come from across the world specifically to stand in front of his plaza statue, taste the beer, and take a photo they'll struggle to explain to people back home.
Valdi didn't make the beer famous — the beer made the town famous, and Valdi made sure everyone knew where to find it.
Kicking the week off 🎉 with some more behind the scene shots for Drylendar. Lots of personality, lots of character just the way a proper brand mascot should be.
Make him walk?👌 Run? Laugh? Cry?🫶 Swap the hat? Talk?🫡
I built one character for an open-source Mac AI app. It shows what each AI agent is doing (thinking, writing code, searching), and new moods, outfits, and even species can be added without rebuilding it.
51 animations. 3 characters. 1 file. Built in Rive, so it lives inside the app and reacts to what the app is doing.
