Meticulously crafted illustration is all it is used to achieve the final result.
Design Challenge

To integrate those sides of the same character yet different characteristics and not ironize or victimize people suffering from the syndrome was the most difficult part.
Research
The main research that was held was about the Harlequin syndrome itself and how rare diseases are addressed.
