Kai Klimiont

Fluffy friends to cuddle
Furry comrades sprung from imagination are his specialty.
With his expressive, colorful and cartoony style, Kai Klimiont is an artist that clients love to work with because of his vivid imagination. The Hamburg illustrator lives his profession and loves to collect satisfied customers :) His animal characters are likeable, cheeky and funny while being stylistically unique. Influences from comics, film, animation and painting led to what he loves to offer today: Charming character design, figures and animals with human features in realistic elaboration. If you think a cucumber can't have a character, leave it to Kai, and soon your project will reach a new level of creativity.
Hamburger is inspired by European and American comics, science fiction, as well as the animation studio Pixar. Humor is an important element in his character design process, as he looks for ways to create that all-important connection between his creature, and the viewer. His clients appreciate the fact that they always get something original when they work with Kai.
Kai works mostly digitally in Photoshop, but likes to help himself to analog for special texture details and structures.
He traditionally starts each project by creating sketches either on paper or also digitally, and once Kai has his composition set, after a client consultation, he starts with the color composition, light and shadow values, followed by textures and details, which are refined in many steps until he gets the desired result to captivate the viewer.
