Paperface creates quirky chicken characters for 'Who Flew The Coop?'
'Who Flew The Coop?' is a chicken-themed card game created for Quarto, and set for release at the end of this month.
The project involved crafting a series of humorous, mugshot-style portraits for 24 different chicken breeds, each with its own distinct personality. Research into the breeds and collaboration with the client helped shape the characters, ensuring their traits were visually compelling and integral to the gameplay.
Beyond the game cards, Paperface’s illustrations also appear in an accompanying booklet, offering a deeper look into each chicken’s personality and its ‘flight-risk’ rating!
