It has been a while since I've posted here. This was a project I did for Martin Cameron and Dog Brain Studios last year. It was a gamification idea for a medical program. The idea was to have a cartoony mad magazine style to the characters. I painted over fifty of these along with some generic bodies in hospital gowns for the client. Each patient had a sick portrait and a happy one. Most were drawn by another artist, Bill Eaken, who is a lot better at caricature than I am, although I did a few when Bill was busy with other stuff. I worked with Martin and Bill at Lucasfilm and Totally games so it was like getting the band back together.
The portraits were digital and a little out of my comfort zone style wise. I wanted to put a lot more into them to make them more realistic but I did it the way the client wanted and they were very happy with the outcome. It was a fun project getting to work with old colleagues even though we were on opposite sides of the country.
