Characters I want to make something with.

These are not automatically visual inspirations. They are identities, forms, and narrative possibilities that need their own continuity.

Verity

Verity isn’t here because this is insane art I’m inspired by. He’s a character I think would be interesting to use as an artist and as a creative. His face is really expressive and changes.

Leo’s note · lightly edited

AI reading

Verity is an identity-development problem rather than a taste reference. The useful design task is preserving recognizable lineage while the character moves between friendly blob, demon, wall, swarm, and wounded states.

Identity logic

Preserve lineage across the blob, demon, wall, and swarm forms while allowing anatomy, scale, surface, and facial behavior to change with narrative function.

Failure boundary

Do not paste one invariant smile onto every form. The demon transformation cannot be a generic cross-dissolve morph, and the demon smile must not simply duplicate the blob face.
