Brainstorming & Archetype

I'd taken a couple pictures of bears and after the Leeds City Museum, i think i'd decided that was the direction i wanted to head in. A bear, with human characteristics. Why not? It's been done on The Cleveland Show. Except I'm looking at a different type of bear to a huge friendly neighbour dressed up in a shirt and tie with no shoes.

An archetype: A universally understood symbol or term or pattern of behaviour, refers to a generic version of a personality.

I started to broaden, what felt like an extremely small part of my mind that was working at the time, and come up with.. a fairly big bear, potentially 8 ft. tall. A dodgy bloke, a drug dealer, involved with fraud for many years. Lovely guy, living in the suburbs, likes his wide variety of cars. Owns a warehouse where actually many of his dealing takes place. Born and raised in N1 area Hackney. Has a lovely wife with a couple of kids, he himself will be based probably in his early- late 40's.
