A continuation of this reference post that I did a while back.  It seemed to get a good response from the public, so why not add this as a bit of an extra?

These are references compiled from a couple different websites.  I’ll link below a handful of tutorials that may also be helpful in designing memorable or unique characters (or perhaps even more helpful in spicing up already-existing designs).  All from Deviantart; most of them go over generally the same thing, but they each have a few little tidbits that are really useful/interesting/inspiring.

Just a few [of the] references [from different websites] I’ve compiled for making more unique face/body shapes in my characters.

Of course, creative liberty is (and can be) taken on most of these shapes, but anyone who wishes to design a character should at least know that there are many shapes and sizes for characters to be and that can define the characters.

I encourage making each character, human or animal, unique and identifiable by their silhouettes and profiles when they’re bald and unclothed.
