I really like websites using mascots or character illustrations. As you can see here in Naldz Graphics, Im using a boy illustration too.

Its my personal mascot for the site. Using character illustrations on a web design can give more brand and it also look more inviting to visitors.

This post is a showcase of 45+ Excellent Examples using Character Illustrations in Web Design. The list below are showing some of the coolest sites where character illustrations are put into action.

  1. I’m actually a bit disappointed: There are a LOT of similar styles, poses, layouts…

  2. Nice list ! I made also a webdesign using character illustration, feel free to take a look 🙂

    Thanks for sharing 🙂

  3. Nice article. I think article should be named “Cute Character Animations in Web Design”. I’m all for this style, but all these look the same. Yawn. Where’s something other than cutesy? How about some sharp, dark, serious vector art?

  4. not a bad collection, though quite a few of them are from the same clip art bundle, by the same artist. your character on naldz is pretty sweet, though.

  5. Hey! There’s me!! What an awesome surprise! 🙂 Thanks!

  6. They are well made – but also almost identical. They don’t do much to position their sites, since they are so alike.
    I prefer the Think Orange one over all the same style ones that are plastered all over.

  7. Really nice selection. I love characters in general. Some of them are from stockimages but the way these websites use them is really cool.

  8. Accountabilityapps.com has some great characters created by JJ Connally of the seventh and October Co.

  9. They all look like the same illustrator? How many of these sites have been made by the same person?

  10. Hey …Nice Collection of some awesome character illustrations . Some of them are really exquisite…kudos to the designer. Keep it up with the good work buddy

  11. Impressive Collection!! I must admit.. using character illustrations in web designing is a cool idea.. I simply love the thegreatbeardedreef and couponninja.. thanks for sharing.. cheers!!!

  13. hope i can make as cool as those character illlustrations 😀 i have one in my blog but im a newbie XD

  14. Hey, forge about my link they changed the character for an ugly one 😛

  15. Really a nice collection. We used for our voucher website cartoons, too.

  16. Thanks for taking the time on this, I was looking everywhere for something similar, but this is just as helpful.

  17. Did anyone know a great designer for characters like the silverback one?

    These are all awesome works!

  18. Nice list! Nice Collection of some awesome character illustrations . Some of them are really exquisite…

  19. hi there,
    lovley ilustrations i want to redesign my ugly site and this a good inspiration!
    my favorite is the one called “mediocore”.
    really funny guy!

    regards!

  20. I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up!

    I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back down the road.
    Many thanks
