Ross McCaughey, known as alias "Southavocado", is an all-around designer and art director for Mind Candy, having various character designs on his name and most of the scenery and background work of the Super Moshi missions, making him along with Bechet the main directors of Moshi Monsters' art style.
While Bechet has a stylised "clean" art style that uses a lot of basic shapes and colouring that gives it an overall flat feel, McCaughey is rather grotesque and experimental in both his designs for characters as environments.
He is the designer of many characters such as Tomba, Missy Kix, The Gooey Galleon Gang, Commander Sassafras and Space Glenn (his personal favourite).

Online game environment design

Story & World: As the game is set in a monster universe I suggested we had shopkeepers stalls set up in the mouths of some large burrowing monsters who are usually attracted by the vibrations of the music, but as the band isn’t playing the player will first have to solve a puzzle to attract them to the surface in order to question the shopkeepers.

Visual Development: There are multiple constraints designing these backgrounds, one has to consider which elements are essential to include for the narrative, point and click nature of the game but also avoid the areas the player character is programmed to walk and the areas that will be covered by existing UI. The player is able to scroll the screen horizontally but not vertically.

Beanstalk in Progress

A magical beanstalk that sprouted as a special event on the Moshi Monsters world map.- I was responsible for researching, designing and developing the beanstalk and its four distinct areas, the final illustration I created was then used to develop the following missions and set the tone for each installment. This was a very time sensitive project and was created within a working week. Design constraints included its intended adaptation as a 4 screen UI element for navigating the 4 parts of the mission and yet also being required to work as a single, stand-alone image.

Mask Shopkeeper

Super Glooper Day event in Moshi Monsters.- We wanted to build a world event that the community could take part in to earn a reward by all working together.- I helped conceive the idea of a creature who delivers Gloop. He had became stuck on one of the regular shops and the players would have to join in to wash away the mess until he was free and the shop could be re-opened to players and they would earn their reward.

Lucien Hoare, penname "Punzai", was responsible for making their general artwork more fluent and thus more appealing. He redesigned monsters to be put on various merchandise, designed various of the Moshi Monsters Mash Up: Moshling Madness cards, designed the Slopcorn Machine and an unused design for The Magnificent Moshi Circus, did the character design of the Beanstalk Giant and also did various work for the Poppet Magazine.
He seems to no longer be employed at Mind Candy. (But who is?)

“

Moshi Monsters put Mind Candy on the map. In the UK, Moshi Monsters quickly overtook Club Penguin as the top virtual world for kids and had over 90 million registered users worldwide. While the brand lead to a number 1 kids magazine in the UK, a platinum album, top selling Nintendo DS titles, a movie, multiple mobile apps and games, live events, and sold millions of toys, it retained a digital heart. I was the Principal Interface Designer on Moshi Monsters and ultimately went on to become Art Director at Mind Candy.

Marketing

Jenny Hunt

Jenny Hunt was a designer and developer of many aspects in Moshi Monsters' interaction with the audience. She was responsible for the main page redesigns and skins, email marketing -this included weekly newsletters, promotional offers, new release information and account lifecycle messaging in over 20 languages-, many of the interactive displays (promos and overlays) and designed it to promote offers of membership. As she was also the designer of membership regristation, she was aware of the status of Moshi as a safe place for children and thus made sure "accidental purchase baiting" was not part of their strategy. Hunt worked together with Lead UX designer Yael Levey.

Animation Artists

Wip Vernooij

Wip Vernooij has been responsible for directing (and compositing) all the Moshi Monsters Music Videos, the Movie (together with Morgan Francis) and "Cooking with Jamie Oliver & Furi".

Wip Vernooij, alike his colleagues, speaks of the Movie as an "intense" experience, as they had to create it within 12 months. Later on with animating Furi for Jamie Oliver's cooking show, Wip searched for an alternative animation method. He used Anime Studio Pro to create a rig to work with Furi's specific look and hopefully boost the animation quality over using Flash.

This sounding like he would be preparing for more work, during the decline of activity (late 2014-2015-ongoing) Wip has voiced to "not really know what is going on anymore" when asked about any future projects.

“	Studio43 had the great pleasure of working with Spider Eye Studios to create the advanced CelAction2D character rigs for Diavlo and Luvli, two of the lead characters as well as loads of the little moshlings that you see throughout the movie.	”

Rich Mitch

Rich Mitch is an animator who has worked on Moshi for 4 years. He handled character and item animation, as well as the promo video of The Great Moshi Treasure Hunt and The Moshi Movie Mystery.

“	I worked with Mind Candy from 2010 to 2014 as Lead Animator/Creative. In 2010 the Moshi Monsters were very young and the team was very small. I brought the varied and exciting characters to life with fun and engaging 2d animation, while also playing an important part in the creative thinking, game play and story of moshimonsters.com. The brand in 2013 was the number one kids brand in the UK and the website has over 80 million registered users across the world. The team I lead and managed was fun, dedicated and hard working and we always made sure things were completed on time and to a very high standard no matter what the deadline and testing the brief. Our main aim was retention of current players and engagement with a new audience through big, bold new content driven campaigns which we, as a team, often created from scratch. To be able to connect with and excite such a large audience over those four years was a massive privilege.Below is a small selection of the work my team and I created while working at Mind Candy for moshimonsters.com	”

Music Artists

Dave "Colonel Weng Wah" Cooke

Dave Cooke is a musician and rap artist mostly influenced during the time of the rise of rap popularity in the late 90s to 2000. The scores he made for Moshi Monsters did not make it in the franchise, most likely as the material referenced and worked with dated material that would supposedly not ring with the newer generation audience.

• Dave Cooke would have been the voice of 49 Pence if Monstro City Knows How To Party had been released. The Moshi Dance by Lady GooGoo, due to similarity in theme, likely replaced this. The latter is a parody song whereas Dave Cooke's song was his own written work.
• The Moshi Moshi!, parody on the "Monster Mash" (1962), likely scrapped due its dated-ness with the audience that is more likely to catch the reference of Moshi Moshi Moshi! (Song) to Badgers Badgers Badgers.

Doughnut Dash

“	"MindCandy commissioned us to make an online Flash game for their popular online games portal, Moshi Games." The game focuses on "Oddie the Sweet Ringy Thingy", a living, breathing doughnut who gets from A to B by rolling around. The aim of the game is to avoid being gobbled up by the giant chomping jaws, avoiding obstacles and collecting powerups as you career along dynamically generated levels, each getting steadily trickier as Oddie's speed increases and the margin for error becomes thinner. Technology Donut Dash is a Flash game, developed in Actionscript 3 that adheres to strict OOP principles and integrates with the Moshi Games API. Most of the graphics and animations were designed in-house and compliment the Moshi Monsters world.	”

Mosh Fling

“	Mosh Fling is our latest collaboration with Mind Candy, one of the fastest growing social online gaming companies in the world. Following on the success of Oddie’s Donut Dash, we were commissioned to deliver Mosh Fling, a fun browser game which fits snugly into the Moshi universe. The game challenges players to fling the popular character 'Flumpy the Pluff' as far as possible avoiding obstacles and collecting Gemz, an in-game currency that can be spent in the shop to purchase a range of power-ups and upgrades. Results Mosh Fling has proven to be popular with more than 780,000 unique views, and over 6 million rounds played to date.	”
