For western Character design i decided to use reference from the shows Rick and Morty, Adventure Time and Steven Universe. I chose these three in particular because i felt that the represented an almost cross section view of the more generic western style.
I noticed that characters often followed more geometric shape, or a combination of geometric shapes rather than a focus on accurate human anatomy, furthermore these characters are very simplistic so they can be animated or drawn easier.
I found it incredibly easy to design characters that look like western cartoon characters, i tried incorporating shape theory as much as i could as well, with Thomas being incredibly innocent i tried to keep his face circular, Hester is slightly more angular but i wanted to keep her with a similar chin to Thomas as they are connected through the story. For Valentine i wanted to keep him quite square but with a sharp point in his hairline to show how he would turn on Tom at the end.
I also did a sketch of them all as fast as i could in order to further determine shapes and was surprisingly happy despite how rushed and loose the three look.
