Concept art and turnarounds created for Knott's Berry Farms new walk-around characters

These are the concept art and final turnarounds created for Knott's by illustrator Dan Almanzar for their new walk-around characters: Whittles, Boysen and the Crafty pups. They all look great in the initial sketches and it's cool to see how many designs they had to work with before settling on Whittle for his grand return. Sadly, I feel like some of the character was lost in translation from sketch to the final product but weight and wear considerations were the most likely causes for change. 

Either way, this stuff is soo cool to see.
