I usually don’t say this but I truly love every one of these. So inspiring. I really. I’m surprised at how many of the styles look similar. Did you choose them for this reason?

Nice showcase! Illustrations make the websites look fun, and these examples are very inspiring. Thanks for putting this together!
Thanks for featuring my site. I launched it a year ago almost to the day, good to know it’s still considered fresh.
They smells like a cartoon movie that touches ever not growing kid inside of people, clean and innocent.
Every single one of those is a beautiful find that makes me wish I was a bit more of an illustrator than straight-forward web designer. Thank you for the interesting article and for sharing!
Thanks for featuring Guerrilla. I love Rawkes and Artua a lot.
These are all awesome though. Great list
Wow. These are amazing. I love how the tree branch on Yodaa looks like someone’s hand. I wish I could draw…
A lot of these were just bought on iStockPhoto from chihhang.

@ProjectCenter
Yes!! my search is over!! Finally I find designs for my portfolio. I love every single one of them. this would make my websites look fun. Thanks man!
I love the ndesignstudio redesign!
Nice ! I got one too !
Great post. These are really cool. I’m more into the “textured” look for websites, but if it’s a light and clean look you’re going for, an illustration-based design is not a bad call.
All the designs are very nice. I too wish to create a portfolio like this but I found the selection of nice design is very difficult.I am planning to post all the designs in my blog for a vote.
Illustration is one of the best ways to make your site really stand out. These are some of the best examples i’ve seen. Incredibly inspiring!
All designs are awesome specially yodaa. Really amazing
I always like looking at illustrations like these. Thanks for sharing!
The way i like my design…. with illustration!
few of these are kind of blah, but a lot of great ones too.
Such a new / modern showcase! Illustrations to the extreme, amazing..
thanks. nice designs
Very good desing but ” Artua Design Studios” interesting
Love the colours in Flourish.
Think I’m a fan of the ‘eAnka’ example above – think we’ve become a photo-driven website design focus these past few years, and illustrations I think have become a bit lost in the online jungle it seems. Very nice designs in any event.!
While I’m not 100% sold on the color scheme, I quite like the illustrated characters on the Creative Bytes concept. Professional, yet fun.
Very cool designs Are they available for downloading?. Also like other comments-Did you choose them for this reason?
Allan,
No, they are not available for download. They are custom designs that belong to these designers.
I love illustrators getting creative with their portfolios. I’m an illustrator myself although my portfolio doesn’t have an illustrated design.
I really really love these kind of illustrations on websites…. I wish I was artistic enough to create my own illustrations.
Thanks for sharing, very inspiring.
Thank you for this great list!
Thanks for sharing, very inspiring.
Great designs – especially like Old Loft’s animals raising the flag.
