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.

Does this showcase inspire you? Do you know some other sites that deserve to be included? Feel fre to post your comments.
You forgot my little Office mouse character π hgttp://nikibrown.com/designoblog
Pretty good selection. Love illustrations for websites … even though it’s probably only a short-term trend.
Heh, very, very cute selection π
I’m actually a bit disappointed: There are a LOT of similar styles, poses, layouts…
Gotta have http://www.moxiedesignstudios.com/ in that list somewhere…
wow… very creative illustrations… thanks for posting
Nice list ! I made also a webdesign using character illustration, feel free to take a look π
Thanks for sharing π
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?
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.
Hey! There’s me!! What an awesome surprise! π Thanks!
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.
I love the graphic I got from Logo Samurai.
Let me blow my own horn . How about this > http://rongenrobles.com/2005/
Really nice selection. I love characters in general. Some of them are from stockimages but the way these websites use them is really cool.
Accountabilityapps.com has some great characters created by JJ Connally of the seventh and October Co.
Worth the check! nice
They all look like the same illustrator? How many of these sites have been made by the same person?
Great selection, I seen a few of these beforehand. Never the less, these are illustrations.
GRRRREAT POST!!! I love website mascots too!!
Cheers to your collection
