French illustrator and art director Rolito is known for his Willy Wonka meets Frank Miller's 300 aesthetic, resulting in strong geometric shapes and complimentary colour palettes. Rolito borrowed inspiration from his son Leonard Kitaro. This project was a very personal one - to dream up a superhero of the night who, together with his partner, protects sleepers and lights up dreams with his magical pyjamas and his bright shiny feet. As a superhero, The Guest has an amour, decorated in 3D effect and finished off in both silver and gold lustre. The superhero, although with an armour and is a strong character, isn't as intimating as you'd think, as he is sprinkled with childhood fantasies of a little child.

Rolito is a cult-favourite character designer, illustrator and art designer based in Europe. His creation of critically acclaimed Patapon has earned him a wide range of clients, including Passion Pictures, Ubisoft, LG and Orange. His personal project “Rolitoland“, was a flash-animated microcosm that showcased his unique world of imagination, winning him many awards and accolades in festivals worldwide.
