We follow Utkonos through time from 2000 to 2021. He is accompanied on his journey by the main characters, events, and memes of those years. Utkonos literally “lived” through every cultural transformation, and in all those years, his confident gait never left him.
In developing the graphics, our task was to stylize all the famous characters of these years, making them a bit caricatured, but at the same time recognizable.
Characters Development
We also created a long panorama of Moscow, featuring the city’s famous views and authentic details, and this serves as the background for Utkonos’ journey.
