Dad's Thank You Card

My dad asked me to make a thank you card for the folks at UVA that took such good care of him during his lung transplant. He mentioned the idea of him chasing a lung, and I kinda laughed it off. But when I started thinking about it, it seemed to have the potential to be really funny, so that's what I did.

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out so I wanted to share a little of the process with everybody. Also, daddy hasn't seen this yet either. So, if you got any input for me, big guy, speak now!




Here are my initial sketches of different "Chunks" (He's in a hospital gown, by the way.)



This is the final image I decided to run with and flesh out (puns intended).





And here's the final illustration. Yeah, it's creepy as hell, but how often do you get to illustrate your dad chasing a lung? This was fun for sure. Hope you like it pops.
