Premise character design visual research

-
I decided that in order to make the designs for my characters more distinct and unique, I needed to have access to a large pool of reference imagery.

There are some interesting fashion choices by little me in here, but it was the early 2000's, so please forgive the terrible colour clashes.

I have to say I'm both a little disappointed in myself and feeling better than I did in the last project. Weird huh? Basically, for this first stage I have focused a lot on research, and fully developing my concept before properly diving into drawing it. This has given me a much clearer path than I found myself on in the Invisible Cities project, but has meant that I have ultimately produced fewer thumbnails than I would have liked. I felt like this additional research was necessary to ensure that I wasn't chasing my own tail for a number of days which is how Invisible cities felt at times. So, at this point, although I have less thumbnails right now (more will be uploaded tomorrow), I feel like I am in a much stronger position that I was after the OGR before.
