Protagonist and Antagonist Research

I have created a couple of mood boards of characters from films and games which I really like the style of and hope to take inspiration from them. Then eventually I want to bring aspects of these characters into my own work.

I then went on to create silhouettes from these mood boards, to help me explore the design of the characters further. To really see how to create a strong protagonist female character. 

I did the same but for antagonist characters..

Although I didn't concentrate on just female characters like before as I'm a little unsure on what kind of character I'd like to create for this part. But I'm thinking of going along the lines of created a monster type character, rather than a defined male or female character. 

I again then went on to create silhouettes from the characters I collected in the mood boards, to study them further.
