Stylized character moodboard

Here is a mood board of some of my favourite stylized characters. I looked at some games like borderlands, Team fortress 2 and Super Monday Night Combat. I tired to look outside of games too, i looked at some Pixar artwork from the movie UP, Pixar are some of the best character designers around and always have recognizable characters built from shapes.

I looked at one of my favourite artists as well, Mike Henry, he does extremely good stylized and cartoonish character art. His deviant art profile is here http://zatransis.deviantart.com/.

I also looked at an animated short i saw last year called Backwater Gospel.
