Given that no webcomic awards thing I’ve ever seen actually touches on character design, I thought I’d do something about that. Designs are important. What kind you need really depends on the type of comic and story you’re trying to do/tell. I find I pay more attention to fantasy comic designs than to slice of life/modern world ones (though a few have some interesting designs).

I have a few ideas of my own for good designs to add to my list, but I’m opening the floor to you guys to suggest things. Feel free to suggest things from your own comic if you like especially if you think I don’t read yours.

I’m hoping to generate a fair amount of interest in this. Cross posted on the Tomgeeks forum.

Up for consideration:
Rice Boy
Heliothaumic
Gunner Doe
Beauty and the Beast
The Chronicles of Avernyght
Juathuur

On a slightly related note, over on deviantArt I’m also doing a best/sexiest sci-fi costume list as ones I’ve found are sadly lacking in good stuff. If you don’t have a dA account, you cam make suggestions for that here as well.
