Part 2 of the Assignment, took my 5 favorite characters and developed them further with 3 variations each, trying to exhaust the different facets of each archetype. Enjoy!

I could imagine those on a board or card game! Very convincing body language. I am so jealous.

Here are several pages of a variation on the Harvest Man Theme - The Blighted Ones - Spud people who are infected by a terrible sickness or combatting it. Apologies for the sloppy handwriting!

Hey everyone, here’s my ideation sheet. The character/creature is a mix between Legume(s) and 1920’s Gangster, called The Mean Bean. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Trench coat peas are very clever. Nice work Ted :)
Oh yeah, I especially love the one where they all appear to be attached by a single vine.
Hi Ted,
there is a really strong background for your ideas with the Gangsta theme. Great take and the bean. You seem to be really comfortable with the characterization.

Cool! I like the setting and variety of character you're getting. The lentils-dudes are more creepy (like monstrous-creepy) because they don't have faces and maybe because they could smother or engulf their enemy. The vertical peas in a pod in a suit is brilliant and is a good example of the overall tone - humorous but dark. The man and woman gangsters attached to each other is nice too. Mob in a can is another humorous but dark element - it could start off as absurd (Mob gets delivered to an alley and can is opened by a different Mean Bean) then to slapstick (Mob seems inept, has trouble shuffling around) then scary (Can tips over and Mob pours out, filling alleyway). Who could their enemies be - carrots? I like the idea of bullets being made from whoever their dead enemies are, little carrot chunks, for example.
Hello, these look perfectly good. Consider this: Instead of thinking about the setting and then drawing the character alone, try drawing the setting and time where your character belongs (in this case, the 1920s) in addition to the character. If you drew that setting first, and afterwards the character, you might create something with a more informed design, one that beats all the rest.
These are great, right up my alley :D. I especially love the crowd in the can and the gangster car. But also ones in the coat. But there are many cool ideas!
Love those peas in a coat! Haven't seen something like that before, they made me laugh!
I have never watched Peaky Blinders but getting major Peaky Blinders vibes here. Cool stuff here!
