From that I figured out what style I needed to draw the giant in. I knew I wanted the mascot to have a massive jaw, and substantial under bite along with a furrowed brow. But, in my early sketches the giant looked to dopey, and thick headed. So I took a few hours to study animals and picked out traits to use like the broad protruding brow of a Gorilla, the sizable canines of a Tiger, the poised death stare of a cougar, and of course the muscle of The Hulk. To make him more kid friendly I rounded the sharpness of his teeth, and refined his eyes. He needed to look engaging and intimidating; but, also poised.
