Project: MoV Graphic Novel Part 2 - Character Concepts

So, I think I may have just over planned my graphic novel here. I knew I wanted to stray away from my usual anime style, and since - predictably - finding out that it's going to be a funny comic, found it not very befitting either. Thus, I tried to make up a style that's more American cartoon-ny, and here are the results.

P.S. Mainly these pictures are of Portia because I'm sexist like that.

Portia, Bassanio, and a Disney-ish head.

First initial sketch to just get me in the mood for it. I kept a lot of the features on Portia more or less the same, though (the slanted eyes, for example).

The rest were drawn during the wee hours of a school night. I think the most important thing I wanted to accomplish then was to draw peoples who looked different, and not just "different hair and eye colour" different.

HOLY SHIT, WHAT'S THIS?
It's pretty much me playing around with different styles but with the same head. Kind of like the style meme I did a while ago, except less messy, and there's a realistic girl and a furry version. Can you guess which each style tries to emulate?

Don't bother, because I didn't try to copy anything.

In the end, it didn't really matter how long I spent planning how the characters would look...
