Care N Cure production art :)
As with most projects, I start off with rough concept sketches which eventually morph into the final artwork after a series of reviews with the client!
Care N Cure - Concept art
Needless to say, I had a really fun time referencing photos of baby pandas, polar bears and snow leopards while working on this project. Below are a series of rough sketches that evolved into my first design comps for the main characters!

Digital character explorations
The second stage exploring designs for the main characters was nailing down the digital look & feel.


Although the animals in the game are sick and need to be rescued, these were all a little too sad and needed further adjustments with the expression specifically.
Final characters
The final characters are much happier than the originals, woohoo!
Digital background explorations
While nailing down the look & feel for the characters, I began working on the environments for the search & rescue segment of the game. The animals would be hidden in these environments as color tinted silhouettes throughout the background. Below is Alaska & Tibet!
