Bruce The Chumpster
This avatar was created with the tricky task of being both minimal and memorable. To pull it off, we leaned heavily into shape language — mixing soft, friendly curves with the sharper edges you’d expect from a carnivorous creature.
That balance shows in his movements too: he’s goofy and playful when smiling or widening his eyes, but turns intense and fierce when he frowns. One of our biggest design hurdles was making him stand out without any clothes or accessories.
We tackled that by carefully playing with proportions and exaggerating key features to create a bold, unforgettable silhouette that makes a statement all on its own.
Character created for Animaze, based on a concept by former colleague Andrei Iacob.
Built With the Animaze Team
Bruce was designed while working as part of the Animaze team — the same team behind the avatars used by YouTube creators Doodle and Arkey. What started as team-built work grew into one of the platform’s breakout success stories, now reaching 2.5M+ subscribers.
