3rd yr character design ideas

These are character ideas for my first brief in my 3rd year.  The brief is very open, so can do what i like with support on the side. I would like the out come for this project to be a book and a soft toy of the character. I like simple and funny books, such as 'Mo Willems' Pigeon books.
