1: video game themed character, ex world of warcraft, characters need to look and feel like there from that game world. along with having similar triangle limits/ texture restrictions.

2: the big and small idea i think would be cool

3: time period themed character, ex prehistoric, future, wild west, etc

4: Zombie/Undead

What about this slice of crazy,

a "Failed Genre Crossover Character."

the only examples I have in my head are:

1. Gears of War + Mario Kart = Karts of War (Vinsanity's idea)
2. Strawberry Shortcake + any First Person Shooter
3. Care Bears + Gears of War = Bears of War (dibs)
4. Spore Wrestling?
5. Kung Fu Chaos + Splinter Cell = idk but it's awesome.

characters are meant to be interesting, sir, so we should strive to make them even more so.

here's another idea:

"Child w/ Unlikely Toy"

could be anything, a human, demon, daemon, animal, robot, whatever; with a toy that just doesn't seem right for him/her.

my idea: crazy wiry robot baby with exposed circuits holding either a water balloon, a super soaker, a clown flower thing, or one of those Potty Patty Drink and Wet Dolls.

what if we took a character, from a game or movie, cartoon, and stylized the mess out of it.

Then it could be a before and after, or at least give people an idea of where your coming from, before you get to where your going.

I can't speak for everyone, but I am very burned out, so maybe we should try something simple. Like props instead of characters. It would be a nice change and good practice for everyone.

Some ideas:
A Door - make a really cool doorway....could be a evil castle gate or a hi-tech airlock
Artifact weapon - some massive magical weapon
Severed Limb - just a random part of a character, something you'd find on a battlefield
Barrel/Keg/Drum - some sort of round storage container

Of course, I'm burned out enough that I might not even participate in this, so you can take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
