Here's Jam's character study. There's less to talk about with Jam than there was with Shana, as Jam is a very simple character- and there's nothing wrong with that. He's a simple guy, there's no need for him to be complicated in his design either.

His head: Unlike most characters, Jam's hair is a very defining feature in his shape. His large sideburns and even his small beard hide the general shape of his skull's structure. I made the skull outline more obvious and gave the non-skull version of each stage of the head-turn to show the difference.

As with Shana, the skull's shape is vague, and likely not totally correct- I don't plan to make any characters flat out bald in the near future, so I've little reason to spend too much time on it.

His body: Jam is a bit chubby. He's not obese by any stretch of the imagination, but he could definitely stand to lose a few pounds. Part of the cause of this is his very relaxed movement. He doesn't walk nor run in a way that's athletic, he stands in a very laid back manner, and he sits in ways that resembles how a washed up hobo on a bus would sit.
