Today I have been experimenting with different shapes in my design. Shapes can be the base of the characters personality, and is usually the tell tale sign of their characteristics; because my character is an old ex-military man, he will have to feature predominantly squares.
This character is based on the body shape furthest right; he is predominantly squared, due to his military background. He has droopy cheeks and fat due to his age, the army patches and poppy are a symbol of his previous military experience; similarly to his hair cut. This is quite a stern, emotionless character; however, there is lot's of room for alterations upon the switch to another personality. The droopy cheeks and oversized features will easily shift to best highlight a different expression.
Here are a couple of design's I did based around circles and tear drops; using more rounded shapes gives the character a harmless, dopey feel to him.
