So a few weeks ago I set myself the task of completing one character design a week (for as long as I can possibly keep it up), based on a little 'character generator' I created when developing my Retired Villain model. Here are the results of the last four weeks. At this stage they're detailed sketches but hopefully at some point I can turn some of them into 3D models (CG or clay).
The generated words were - Tired - Thriller - Food Critic - Mid-aged Man
Vengeful - Fantasy - Tree Person - Female Teen
Distant - Fantasy - Ruler of the Playground - Male Teen
