Description — Illustration and visual concept developed for the stream alerts of ElRubius, one of the most influential Spanish-speaking streamers and content creators in the world, with millions of followers across platforms.

In livestreams, alerts are animated visual notifications that appear on screen when viewers interact with the channel—such as subscribing, donating, or following. These animations are a key part of the streaming experience, helping creators celebrate audience interactions in real time.

The project involved designing the character MadKat, the channel’s mascot inspired by Rubius’ real cat, Wilson. The work includes character development, exploratory sketches, and animated storyboard concepts showing how MadKat would react in different alert scenarios. These animated sketches served as visual guides for the final motion pieces used in the live stream.

JAPAN POWER — Alert package

Year — 2023 Company — StreamElements Category — Illustration / Streaming Graphics Medium — Digital Illustration & Storyboard Animation Tools — Procreate

Description — Illustrated alert package developed as an internal asset for the platform. StreamElements provides creators with customizable visual tools—such as alerts, overlays, and tipping systems—that appear on screen during livestreams to celebrate audience interactions.

The Japan Power pack was inspired by Japanese pop culture aesthetics, combining bold characters and expressive visuals designed to appeal to a wide range of creators regardless of their channel theme.

The alert set includes animations for common livestream interactions: - Cheer — when viewers support the channel using Bits. - Follow — when a new viewer follows the channel. - Gift Sub — when a user gifts subscriptions to other viewers. - Host — when another streamer hosts the channel on their stream. - Merch — when viewers purchase merchandise. - Raid — when another streamer sends their audience to the channel. - Sub — when a viewer subscribes to support the creator. - Tip — when viewers donate directly.

The project was developed as a fully illustrated storyboard to guide the final animations. Additionally, a short frame-by-frame traditional animation was created to function as a transition between the first and final frames of the alerts.
