Rhino - Ben Sears

I was instantly attracted to Ben Sears' blocky-yet-charming work. His characters seem to have a weight and heft to them, so I figured that he would do a chunky Rhino. I also decided to go for his vibrant colors since he makes them pop, even when using a restricted palate.

He liked the symbiotic oxpeckers of real-life rhinos, so decided to add some colorful birds. He also wanted to make the head as small as possible to emphasize the goofiness of the character.
