I had worked for this team a few times before on their Baxter the Bobcat mascot so I thought this was a new round of that guy. When I got the creative brief of this assignment I was happily surprised. This was a series of characters basedon a group of their live action players! They sent me some great studio photographs of the mascots & I began piecing together some cool action poses that would work commercially. Once the team approved the poses the rest is history!
