Hi everyone, this will be the first competition i've entered so i'm looking forward to it!
Before i begin though i did have a question, i have an idea for my evil character but i wanted to know if it would fit within the guidelines?
My idea is to have my evil character as a duo, we have 2 brothers on either end of the "evolutionary scale". So the younger brother is very young, not past 12 years, and incredibly smart - the brains. The older brother is incredibly dumb, think caveman dumb, but a walking wall of muscle, power and strength - the brawn. My idea is that the younger brother (brain) is the evil mastermind and his "weapon" is the older brother (brawn). Does this fit within the criteria? i have a 2 second sketch of the image i'm trying to portray which i'll totally redo if i get the green light.

I see your point...
I do have a tendency to bite off more than i can chew, thanks for your comments Souri! so for the moment i'm going to concentrate on "Brain". My little 12 year old evil genius.
So his general story which is still a WIP, will be he was abandoned/thrown out or orphaned as a baby, grew up in a world of hate because of it, his intelligence is so great it scared people and eventually "Brain" became angry with the world. He decides then to really give the world something to fear and uses his intelligence to plunge the world into darkness.
His calling card i'm thinking will be like a broken pencil, pencil shavings or something of the like. To show simply how far ahead he plans, his superiority over everyone else in the amount of moves he has up his sleeve. Or to symbolise that he finished "the plan" of whatever crime he commits.
Here is a rough sketch of him and i'll update when i have some more done.

Latest Sketch and Concept
So i re-did the sketch, filled out his details and his legs etc, defined his pose and what have you. I do kind of like the image at the moment, but i get the feeling he's looking a little too "sheek" for a 12 year old genius. I'm intending to do a few more sketches and poses to get some more ideas. Make him REALLY evil looking, and not so sly.
If you have a suggestion or comment i'd love to hear it!
Another Version
Here's another version of him, i changed his clothes, the look and pose and i think this is closer to the feel of a "evil kid genius" than the other one, the pose kinda reminded me of an evil bart simpson :P But anyway~
Just more ideas here, the pencil snapping is supposed to be the calling card.
Clean and Cut
Okay here goes a "pen-tool" lineart version of my concept, i forgot to put the snapping pencil in but that'll happen later. This is actually my first attempt at using the pen-tool so any critique and comments are welcome!
Also! If you have any ideas for "clutter" to put on my character feel free, i was thinking going simple as i am a month behind but i'm open to suggestions!
Yeah that looks good
I like the last drawing you are really capturing the personality of the character. Nice Mr.Kennedy
It's interesting to see a
It's interesting to see a character whose personality can come through so well. I feel that sometimes we limit ourselves by creating gritty realistic characters that in the end are nothing but the illusion of depth.
so it should be fine. Although I do have to say, since you're going to be doing two characters instead of one, it'll be more of a challenging job than doing just one.
