I began with trying to think of what my characters face would look like, as in why would he look like what he looked like. Why did he look like the way he did? Evil? Good?

Synopsis.

AN EVIL GENIUS who has a crazy obsession with trying to fuse different genes together, to create the ultimate chimera / homunculus failed miserably for years. It wasn't until he had a son that he managed to perfect his creation. As evil geniuses do (F*cked up sh*t) he experimented on his son and successfully combined genes. Because of this, the boy has had a weird childhood, and has strange fascination with creepy crawlies as they have scales / features with he does.

But like most 9 year old boys, he is hyperactive, and still, a boy.

This guy now has a storyline. He is a creation. A hybrid of all these different insects/lizards. Why does he have a fascination with creepy crawlies? Because they have similar parts to he does, and it makes him very excited to see that. Naturally, he's just like every other child his age, except for this unique aspect. I decided that characters 4 and 6 were the ones I liked the most in terms of what I could progress with.



I then took this characters head, an started playin around with features of the face, taking parts from his 'interests' Played around with the eyes, the mouth..etc. Antennae.



Narrowed it down to these two. Next was to decide a general full body look.



Hence, I came up with this.

Please note, none of these are subject to a FINAL phase, they're just sketches with ideas, yet to be finalised. However, I think generally I'm going to play around with this figure.
