Illustrating Brawl Stars: Fairytale Season
Supercell reached out to us to help them launch the new Fairytale Season of Brawl Stars. They wanted a series of illustrations that beautifully showed the new character skins and got the community excited - here is what we delivered.
Community-Driven Through And Through
We collaborated with Brawl Stars' Community Manager, Daniel Medeiros, to create a narrative centred around Shelly, one of the main characters of the game. We chose to present it as a series of storybook animations in a fairytale-themed campaign: 'Once Upon a Brawl'.
Throughout the whole process, we worked very closely with Supercell's Community Management team - even the story was narrated by Ryan Lighton, Supercell's Community Lead! The result was five animations where the images magically appeared over the pages of a fairytale book.

Doing it For the Fans
It was important to Supercell, and to us, that the work achieved something deeper than simply showing the new skins - we wanted to engage the community, get them to look twice, and find themselves immersed even deeper in the Brawl Stars world. As a result, the illustrations are full of easter eggs and hints to future skins and characters in the game!
