Character illustration and animation for Unscriptd’s Riyad Mahrez recipe video, followed by further recipe videos featuring other footballers.

The brief

Create an illustrated caricature of Riyad Mahrez and a warm visual style for The Riyad Rocket Smoothie, a short recipe video for social media.

The approach

I designed and illustrated the character, then animated it for the recipe video. Capturing a recognisable likeness was central to the work, alongside a visual style suited to the short social format.

The finished work

A ten-second character animation for the Riyad Mahrez recipe video. Unscriptd subsequently commissioned more recipe videos featuring other footballers.
