What are their defining characteristics?

Visual Appearance:

Silhouette: A strong silhouette is crucial for instant recognition. Imagine your character design as a black cutout – is their shape interesting and memorable?
Proportions: How tall or short? Lean or muscular? Exaggerate or distort proportions to create a unique look or reflect their personality (e.g., a hunched scientist vs. a towering warrior).
Facial Features: Consider their age, ethnicity, and personality. Will they have sharp features, soft features, or something in between? Scars, wrinkles, or beauty marks can add details and backstory.
Clothing and Accessories: What do they wear? Does their clothing reflect their social status, profession, or personality (e.g., a flamboyant artist vs. a practical detective)? Accessories can add hints about their interests or hobbies.
