Cold weather = cranky cold sores

Perfect time to share our early character concept designs we created for Blistex's Kanka!!

We spent quite a bit of time in the character concepting phase, creating the perfect "Cranky Canker Sore." With so many contenders in the mix, choosing the final design was tough—now you can see why. Plus, our 2D artists had way too much fun drawing some seriously grumpy sores not to share this.
