Character illustration of Alligator for Checkmate Academy

Alligator (Tenacity)

Medium: Digital Illustration
Client: Checkmate Academy

Checkmate Academy is the martial arts academy specialising in jiujitsu. Since the Academy has a lot of emphasis on children'sactivities and unique methodology, they asked me to create bright illustrations to use them as motivational patches on kimono and in the Kids section of the website. By training hard and succeeding, kids will be awarded with a corresponding “beast” to sew it on their kimono.

About Veronika
‘Talking with pictures’ is how Veronika Kiriyenko describes her approach to illustration, and it couldn’t be more apt. Her simple linework, clear forms and punchy color palettes make an instant impression on the viewer. Bright and fun, with a clever touch of symbolism, her pictures speak louder than words.
