Tomkitty the blue and orange robot cat.
He is popping a balloon filled with paper slips reading "Business directory" and "Citation".
Above him is written "GME Burst"

For this design I took inspiration from the company mascots common in Japan. I also wanted it to resemble ginger tom from the company's 1980s advertisments.

The finished character is a robot cat! Its futuristic design represents how the company has developed technologically, with the organic elements connecting back to the memories people have of using the company in the past.

In the gallery are the illustrations I've done for the social media campaign.

Tomkitty working as a florist.
He is making a bouquet of flowers on a large table with roses, peonies and chrysanthemums.
On the right side of the table is a glass vase of roses.
There are shelves stocked with various types of plant pots,
ribbons and tissue paper in the background.
There are hearts scattered at the edges of the image.
The colour palette is slightly washed out and warm.

Tomkitty thinking hard.
He's looking up to the right and covering his mouth with his paw.
His thought bubbles read "I need to find a plumber", "I know!"
"I'll search thomsonLocal.com"

Tomkitty excitedly showing the camera
a computer tablet. On the tablet is a thomson local business listing.
In the search bar is "Pest Control in Rat Town" underneath is a listing for
"Tomkitty Pest Control, local pest control in Rat Town.
012 52145145, 1 Mouse Lane, Rat Town"
