After thinking up the idea for the game I had to start thinking about character design and also art style. Stick with the virus theme I thought a character in a Bio hazard suit would be best fitting and so I drew up a couple of ideas.

I first drew up the larger character but decided he wouldn't fit in too well with a block style themed game and so went on to draw a smaller more cartoon like character. The smaller character was my preferred choice as soon as I drew him and so the next step was to recreate him on the computer.
