Designing a character with FUCKO the mime!

I bet you're asking yourself, hey, how do I design a character? It's very simple, actually. Sometimes a character will basically draw himself. For example: FUCKO the mime.

Honestly, with a name like "FUCKO the mime", what the hell else would he look like? First off, he'd have to look as if he were constantly on the verge of screaming "Fuck you!" at the top of his lungs (and he is), so he'd have to look tough, stout, aggressive. Short. Naturally, such a headstrong character would attempt, desperately, to rectify -- overcompensate for, even -- his shortcomings; thus: pompadour. And, since he's a mime, that basically informs the rest of his design. I was given a simple, three-word name, and I pretty much just traced. A six-year-old could have drawn FUCKO the mime.
