This project was based around the concept of shape language, wherein a character's visual design is informed by specific shapes. This often helps the silhouette of the character stand out and can inform a lot about the character themselves. For this project I designed characters around a square, triangle, circle, and complex shape. The complex shape uses two shapes combined, so in this case, a teardrop shape was made by merging a triangle and a circle. The theme of the characters is classic horror monsters. 
Vic, modeled after Frankenstein's Monster, uses rectangular shape language.
Bathory, based on vampires, uses triangular shape language.
Mermin, based on the Gillman, uses circular shape language.
Talbot, based on werewolves, uses complex shape language. The teardrop is used as the basis from which his shape language is derived. 
The entire Creature Crew! Their personalities should, in theory, be somewhat informed by their shape.
