Artist/Animator: Wesley Gunn
Client: IIPOG
IIPOG reached out to me when he wanted a new intro and wallpaper (plus a few info panels) for his streaming setup. IIPOG ran with a crew in GTA and wanted to use them in the artwork. He sent over in-game character shots which were used as reference for the characters in the artwork.
We did a wallpaper design that included 11 characters from his crew. After several mocks we landed on an upshot that fit all 11 character nicely. From there I worked up each character individually then overlapped them for the final composite.
We also used a few of the characters in the intro/offline pieces. The offline one is static, but the intro is animated. It’s setup to loop seamlessly and without audio. IIPOG wanted to be able to change up the music being played from his end so we left audio out.
The final art pieces and animation turned out great and really gave IIPOG the vibe he wanted. The community really liked the upgrade, so much so that a few of them reached out to me for work citing IIPOG’s stream package as the reason.
