B.O.B. Strange Clouds
illustration
In 2012, Atlantic Records teamed up with Glow Interactive to develop a iOS casual game for the promotion of recording artist, B.o.B.’s new album Strangeclouds. I had the pleasure of creating illustrations for the main alien character, with an in-game likeness to rapper B.o.B. These designs appeared throughout the iOS game, and on all promotional materials including the website and trailer.

║the Challenge║
Create an alien character design for B.o.B.
As B.o.B. Strangeclouds The Game takes place in outer space, I was tasked with designing an alien character that represented the likeness of rapper B.o.B.

Sketches
I began with sketching a full portrait of B.o.B. so that I could better understand his features and pinpoint which proportions I could push and pull while still maintaining his likeness.

Final Designs
Below are the final character designs created for the iOS game. The proportions remained more realistic, so we added a few extraterrestrial details such as warts on his face and “alien-shaped” ears.

Article Features and Promotion
Through facebook promotion, the game was highly rated from B.o.B. fans and featured on websites such as Mashable and Complex.
