Production log updates for Project Bimbo
Production Log Day 1: Writers still working on script. Currently looking at character design. Too douchebaggy for a seller of contraband?
Day 2: Tried all day yesterday trying to get cloth to work with a minifig. The overlaps can't be fixed with Carrara. This is one win for stop-motion over CGI
So now the focus is on the minifig's torso. What I'm looking at right now for a street contraband seller:
Coloring will be different.
Day 3: Torso selected.
Now which of these says "drug dealer" or "contraband seller"?
Also, should he be wearing sunglasses like these?
You're not getting much help are you? 
For the hat/hair, I'd say #2 and #5. (Counting from the left.)
And the middle face, unless he's supposed to be an over-the-top crazy type of person, in which case go with the bottom face. The best combo IMHO would be the middle face and far left hat.
Got multiple ways to get feedback. This place is just one of them. Plus most of what I've posted I've already have one in mind, just needed confirmation. For example, we both agree on the bandana.
The glasses is the main focus, the minifig's expression will be something else, maybe original. Given this clarification, I'm actually still on the fence on having glasses.
Day 14:
Scriptwriting complete. Casting thread to be posted.
Meanwhile, worked on the face per your inputs on the sunglasses.
I also started conforming to the LEGO standard of eye/mouth positions.
Is projet: Bimbo going to have real lego bimbos in it? And is Bimbo an acronym?
This might help.
Oh!
Darn yuh! Once you showed my the Bimbo bear logo, I've been craving bimbo bread ever since! Also, the second sunglasses picture looks most appropriate. It looks like they're expensive/designer.

The third head looks to mean, whereas a cockier look like the second one gives a nicer look for the character you're wanting I think.
