Illustration for a new brand of gin inspired by a retired police officer. Te client want to honor him with the concept of the donkey as sheep guardian in the form of a superhero.
Looking at the way donkey have their mane it remind me of the mohawk, the punk hair style. Punks also use heavy steel capped boots and kicking is one of the donkey's attacks. Also, the punk look is great for an antihero, so I went for it adding the trench coat as a hint for the classic american detective.
