This one is my favourite Loot is the self-appointed quartermaster of Midnight Rations — a raccoon bandit who "liberates" snacks from sleeping kitchens and redistributes them to anyone pulling an all-nighter. He wears a reflective gold visor-stripe, a vest stitched from candy wrappers, and a belt full of foil-wrapped loot. He narrates his own life like a heist film, complete with freeze-frame poses and dramatic pauses, but he's never once left a hungry night-shift worker behind. His world runs on neon-purple stakeout light, vending-machine hum, and rooftop skylines.
Would you let Loot deliver your midnight snack?
Great work!
Thank you

looks like loot is wanted for keeping workers tummy full.

SALTY BIRD is a concept for a modern beach bar built around a bold brand identity and its own universe of characters. At the heart of the brand is a charismatic pigeon that has become a symbol of carefree relaxation and good vibes. Surrounding him is a team of supporting characters, each representing a different aspect of the bar's life and making the brand feel more vibrant, recognizable, and full of personality.
The project includes the development of the logo, brand color palette, mascots, sticker pack, environmental branding, and a cohesive visual identity system. The main idea was to create not just a beach bar, but a complete brand with its own character, humor, and memorable visual language.

The World of Emberhowl
Emberhowl is a premium craft hot sauce brand built around the pursuit of extraordinary peppers, exceptional craftsmanship, and adventurous storytelling. Rather than simply producing hot sauces, Emberhowl creates collectible flavor experiences, with every bottle celebrating the origin, culture, and character of some of the world's rarest and most legendary peppers. The brand's luxury flavor collection is brought to life through its iconic mascot, Cinder Howl.
Cinder Howl is the signature brand mascot created exclusively for Emberhowl's most premium and luxurious pepper varieties. He is a mysterious wandering firekeeper, born from the ashes of forgotten volcanoes and destined to travel the world in search of the rarest, fiercest, and most coveted peppers ever cultivated. Hidden beneath his weathered skull mask is an immortal guardian whose purpose is not conquest, but preservation collecting forgotten recipes, ancient spice traditions, and the folklore surrounding every legendary pepper he discovers.
Every luxury flavor introduces a new incarnation of Cinder Howl. While his unmistakable identity the iconic skull mask, fox ears, expressive silhouette, and adventurous spirit never changes, his clothing evolves to embody the soul of each pepper. Every outfit is uniquely designed to reflect the pepper's homeland, cultural heritage, level of heat, and personality, transforming each flavor into its own visual character while maintaining a cohesive Emberhowl identity. Each bottle becomes a collectible artifact, telling the story of Cinder Howl's latest expedition.
Cinder Howl does not seek to conquer through violence. Instead, he challenges those courageous enough to embrace authentic heat, rewarding them with flavors forged through exploration, craftsmanship, and tradition.
Every bottle bearing his likeness represents a prized relic from his journey a symbol of discovery, rarity, and uncompromising quality that defines the Emberhowl brand.
Mascot Art Direction:
The visual identity of Cinder Howl is inspired by dark fantasy folklore, classic storybook illustration, and premium collectible character design. The mascot is rendered in a richly textured, hand-painted style influenced by AAA game concept art, blending painterly realism with whimsical fantasy. Intricate costume design, weathered materials, ornate embroidery, layered accessories, expressive stylized proportions, and cinematic lighting create a character that feels timeless, mysterious, and handcrafted.
More than a mascot, Cinder Howl is the living face of Emberhowl's luxury collection a legendary explorer whose wardrobe evolves with every new pepper he masters. Each flavor becomes a new chapter in his ongoing journey, transforming every bottle and gift box into a collectible piece of art that celebrates exceptional peppers, immersive storytelling, and world-class packaging design.
