Character Designs

Initial character designs and working title for a comic book I am writing. 
Just wanted to flesh out the 4 person diverse teams look. I enjoyed this one and look forward to writing and drawing the final story.
Lamp bearer design I came up with for a collection of horror stories I have written, he acts as a 'Crypt Keeper' style character.
'Strap-On' character designs for a slasher movie killer I made. The brief I gave myself was how could I do a slasher horror film on a budget but still have it look scary. I used 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' as a template and thought the horror of human skin when cut from the body is a powerful image, so gave the villain a strap-on claw of sorts made from skin and bones from his victims.
Sketch to final image. I tend to do more detailed sketches than looser sketches as I find it helps me in the inking stage. This isn't obviously the whole process but a little look into how I develop a character from the early idea to the final one.
Some transition designs for a character who is slowly turning into a reptile humanoid. Wanted just sketches early on, these would then be used to come up with a final design for both the human and lizard form.
A bit of design exploration for the same character. 
The following is some more character design and step by step stuff to see how I make my art.
