Voodoo Grinders

This is a logo design I did for a local doctor who was looking for a logo for a project he and his friends were working on. I didn't really have a style I was going for when I first started it, but as I worked on it I realized it was sort of taking on a Disney-esque sort of feel, which I tried to limit slightly by making it more "sketchy". I really like the snake though...

I had to do updates to this logo based on client feedback. In an effort to be more politically correct they asked that the Voodoo Priest not be so... dark skinned, and I was asked to work on this lighter skinned Priest. I resisted the request to make him white, and first lightened his skin slightly to see if I could sway them with logic, in the end I could not and I was asked to lighten him further. To me it is borderline racist to pretend that Voodoo is not from Haiti where the people are dark skinned, to ignore the facts is not politically correct it is stupid. However, I was under contract so I did as requested and lightened him further. At which point I think they got tired of me and accepted the changes.
