Character design: Martin

Martin's looks are based on the gorgeous Mr. Gary Lightbody (cue annoyed boyfriend shouting in the background: 'Lightbody?! Come on! Is that even a real name?!'). Actually, Martin is based on the most unflattering picture of Gary Lightbody I could find. No pretty boys in my book!

I think he still needs a bit of work though. Martin is the kind of guy who's a little soft in all the wrong places, both physically and psychologically. The nice guy (art school drop-out) who'll break your heart anyway. That doesn't come out enough in this sketch.
