Character Design - Starting Point

For the Character Design Project, my genres are; Fantasy and Teenagers and my theme is Law and Chaos.

My initial thoughts for a story as soon as I got the theme and genre was; A world in chaos....there's no structure and viewers are dropped in a world which is ruled by factions, maybe the each factions have different powers which can't be explained by science, but this music video (visuals only) inspired my thought, I just liked the idea of having a world where everyday's a battle and like Zombie films, the society would have gone to ruin.

Instantly I thought to artist inspiration and a few people came to mind where Darren Bartley and Trade Moore. Darren Bartley's work on the post apocalyptic world jumped out to me as something really, most of his "doodles" go on his blog, and Trade Moore on the other hand is a comic book artist, he did the art for the Luther Strode, which is a Comic Book that would fit perfectly into the Teenager Fantasy genre as it's about a high school kid who always got picked on and one day comes across a book which would last give him superhuman strength, as well as visual inspiration I looked to this for story inspirations.

Going past my initial thoughts and ideas, I decided to look into what defined the genres and what would make something fantasy......I'll be getting down some rough ideas, hopefully with some visuals as soon as I get a time period and an interesting concepts to work around....
