Hello everyone!
reDish is my submission for the Rive #characterchallenge: a cooking companion and gamified recipe app, with Rady as the main character living inside the product.
Together with Dolphin from Lupian we shaped the core app idea, then I handled the design, build, and animation. The prototype shows Rady across recipe steps, VS cooking mode, achievements, splash/home screens, and a reusable prop system designed so longer recipe flows could be generated efficiently from backend data, without rebuilding every scene from scratch.
Swap system preview demo:

Let me know what you think.
Good luck for everyone on the challange! :)

Meet Bowie: the first of three AI companions built for Pebble.
I called him earlier - nice guy! We mainly spoke about AI, he had some interesting insights...

"I called him earlier, nice guy" 😭 Bowie stargazing on a rooftop is such a vibe. The personality comes through instantly — that's hard to pull off with animation. Love this 🔥
Hello, meet my Character name is [BOLI].
What started as a simple character sketch became an entire visual world.
For this challenge, I designed an original mascot with its own personality, custom wordmark, signature color palette, and a complete identity system that stays consistent across posters, stickers, packaging, and social media.
The goal wasn't just to create a cute character—it was to build a mascot that feels like it belongs to a real brand and can live across endless applications without losing its identity.
Created entirely in Recraft Studio using Exploration Mode, Vector, and reference workflows to keep every design on-model.

I'd love to hear what you think!

BOLI looks like if a cotton candy got feelings 😭 That pink + green eyes combo is so striking. "Simple sketch to entire visual world" is exactly what a good mascot should do 🔥
Meet Chip! My entry to the Recraft Challenge.
INVISIBLE TO MOST. ESSENTIAL TO ALL. While the whole world sleeps, Chip designs, builds and maintains the tiny infrastructure that keeps nature running smoothly.
From Acorn houses to snail highways, no detail is too small. Someone has to do the small work.
That Someone is CHIP.
The idea is to have a character that has its own universe. He's not a mascot for a brand, he is the brand.
It started from a single idea of having someone who takes care of the hidden world beneath us. Initially it was to have a beaver who builds things as a mascot for a real estate or a construction company, but It evolved into a whole universe.
I primarily used Recraft 4V.1 and V4.1 pro along with folkcraft style attached to it.
It was really fun to use the exploration mode and then stick to one character to build a whole whole around it that too with precision.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments and good luck to everyone else participating <3
this little chip looks adorable! nice work
