Character Design- Old Man

After researching into DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) I realised the character could originally be anything, but must be a design that will best highlight the different personalities. The best way to portray personality in a character is through the pose, and the facial expressions; the best character for this job- an old man with eccentric facial hair and facial muscles. He can have a number of persona's such as: Ex Military, Farmer, Little Girl, Old woman, Middle aged man, Baby.

I then drew a few thumbnail poses to try and get a good base design down for the personalities. Because the character design is based around multiple personalities I had to make sure the personality came across strongly in the pose; here I tested out a number of character ideas, from the little child, to the mad gunman. I will now have to pick one and develop it into a design.
