Nastya

About

Nastya, or as she is often called Nastyenka — is a mascot character for MKI_PSI_bot. For a long time the bot didn't need any mascot character, as bot's icon was plenty for its function. However, at some point Redencon commissioned Olezha to make a collage, depicting all bots as various characters working together in an office. The basic features of Nastya as a character were based on spiritual predecessor of the whole bot idea Nastya Makeeva. Initial concepts depicted her as an android from Detroit: Become Human game, but later this quirk was dropped (by Redencon's request). In time the character in an iconic yellow jacket became the face of bot advertisement. With two posters made so far, Redencon looks forward to see more art of Nastya made.

One thing that bothered Redencon for a while was bot's profile icon. Although the idea behind the initial icon was solid and simple, it felt like it didn't fit anymore. Later in development, it was required to make a design for enamel pins as gifts for devoted users, and so the heart icon design was made. It was liked so much both as a pin and just as a general icon, that no long after it became the new official bot's picture.
