These are the first real character designs I have done for both the Lion and the Unicorn. I ultimately decided to make the two characters superheroes, because if there's anything I enjoy and can make something really fun, really eye-popping, it's Superheroes.
This is the Lion. As he represents England, I have given him a Union Jack themed costume (which I may have to alter due to it's resemblance to that of the Marvel character Union Jack, though the cape, boots, belt and gauntlets are not part of his). I have also made this character something of a Superman analogue, with the tight costume, flowing cape, and heat vision (which I just had to add) Next to him are some drawings of how the character moves and acts; he will be an angry being.
Here, on the other hand, we have the Unicorn. I wanted to create as much contrast with the Lion as possible, so I did this in a few ways. For one thing the Unicorn's costume is a bit less conventional as superhero costumes go, he looks a little more like a wizard with his hooded cloak. As I stated earlier, I wanted to make him more unkempt, so he has wilder hair, facial markings etc. His colour scheme also represents Scotland, and I have added a kilt to him (although I may need to re-evaluate the kilt, as using the wrong markings may be considered an insult to some people). His powers are also a bit defensive in nature, mostly magical powers such as energy projection, force-fields and super speed.
