Due to my previous post about how kids like to dress up as something they're not, mainly superheroes, I began to think about how I could dress my character up, starting to look at, why, would a hyperactive person interested in creepy crawlies, dress the way he does? Went along with the scientific approach..
Diving more into the actual creation. I went with the evil menacing looking approach. I felt personally that this was probably too far deep, not creative enough, and too old.
Just to compare height, landscape view.

Deciding on the height of my character. Obviously it's not going to be a full size human at the age of 9, but just to push the boundary a bit, my character is going to be 9 and 11 months! HA!. Anyway, this guy isn't going to be a standard human boy, he is going to be a mix of creepy crawlies, with human characteristics / intelligence. I want this boy to look older than he is supposed to be, but not to be mistaken for a 12-15 year old, as I think a suitable heigh of around 6 heads (body height) would convey this.
Yeah, random character. Aim? Too look as confused and messed up as possible. Why? If I was a chimera I'd look messed up and confused.
