Guns to Flowers

I have been working really hard on developing my design sense for characters. I have new appreciation for great designers. It seems to me that although it may be obvious to most that Vis Dev is in fact idea generation, it is not simple. Generating concepts and ideas all the time is in the beginning, at least, incredibly difficult. Over time I am finding it comes more smoothly, and that is encouraging. I find as it has become easier the joy of creating has bloomed anew.

Here is a cowboy design with thumbnail explorations. He has given up his guns for love.
