VITO is the character we made to speak for VITON13 where a logo cannot: in chats, comments and short videos. He is a baby snake with oversized eyes, a blush and a pink tongue, rendered like a frame from an animated film.

His colourway is the studio’s own: pearl-white scales, tangerine patches with a thin black outline and a black tail tip. Three colours that stay readable at the size of an emoji, on a white chat or a black one.

We started from one reference picture and a single rule: he must look alive. The poses are generated as sheets of nine on a green background, with the previous sheet as the reference so the character does not drift; the colourway was changed by editing a finished sheet, which kept every pose in place.

Each pose is cut out by our own keying script, which also removes the green spill on the edges. Five moods — hello, angry, in love, laughing and crying — are six-second 3D clips generated from the still pose and keyed the same way; the other thirteen move in code: a bounce, a heartbeat, a shiver.

From one set of frames we export everything: animated stickers and 100-pixel emoji in the format Telegram accepts, transparent GIFs, and animated WebP for the web. The intro film is built as an HTML scene and rendered frame by frame; its soundtrack is synthesised in code.

Eighteen moods of one consistent character, five of them truly animated, and a 19.5-second vertical film that introduces him: “Meet VITO. The new face of VITON13.”

The stickers already work in the messages on this site: open the chat, tap the sticker button and send one. A sticker travels as a short text token and both sides see the picture, so the chat’s data rules did not have to change.

The Telegram sticker and emoji files are prepared to the platform’s limits (512 and 100 pixels, up to 3 seconds, under 256 KB); the pack itself is not published yet.
