Kevin Bayliss
Kevin Bayliss er en britisk videospillgrafiker. Han begynte hos Rare i 1987 og har vært med på å forme flere titler siden den gang, helt fra NES-tiden.
Bayliss står bak designet til mange av karakterene i spill som Battletoads, Killer Instinct, Diddy Kong Racing og Star Fox Adventures, blant andre. Han hadde også ansvaret for å gi Donkey Kong en oppdatering og skape Diddy Kong i Donkey Kong Country.
I 2005 forlot han Rare og begynte å jobbe som frilansgrafiker for ulike selskaper før han til slutt ble en del av Playtonic Games i 2015.
Siden den gang har Bayliss besøkt Retromessa flere ganger, og er også del av et opplæringsinitiativ om spilllgrafikk på norske barneskoler.
