The Six Blind Men and the Elephant is a story about listening to each other's perspectives, in a world of information overload. I thought this was timely message for anyone, a reminder to leave our echo chambers and try to learn about other perspectives.
To design the old men for the story The Six Blind Men and the Elephant, I read their lines and get a sense of the character's personality. Look up character shape language to learn more about making a good silhouette. Another great resources is the visual library at characterdesignreference.com for making appealing characters. One thing I might have done differently is making their limbs thicker, and giving them less moving parts.
