Above is the original sketch and next to it is a tight illustration to show color and contours. We knew this product would be a hit – especially since the show has retired the awesome performers for some rest and relaxation.

We liked the idea of blurring the lines between whimsical and realistic. With the Ele stein we were going for a classic and realistic look. The previous generation tiger next to it has a more playful intentional statuesque look.
