Pre-Production methods: initial character body-types

I began to consider what body types I should use for this character. The first option is to use a thinner shape, which would probably suit the anxiety-ridden character better. However, a strong type may also work, as it will enforce the fact that anyone, even the worlds strongest man, can suffer from anxiety problems. 

I had also a look at actual body types for inspiration for how to make this character look.  




When considering the thinner kind of character, one character that came to mind was Power Ring, an alternate Earth version of DC Comic's Green Lantern. The character himself, named Harold Jordan, is a spineless and fearful coward, whose ring feeds off of his fear, and his body, and in turn gives him powers, and his anxiety only increases the pain that the ring inflicts on him. Though nowhere near as extreme as my character, I do like how much the character's anxiety feeds into his persona and identity.
