Character Design: Officer Jones

And now for our main character, Officer Jones.  Yes, Jones is the main character.  No, he is not the Crimson Fly.
So, who is Jones? 
-Jones is a beat cop in the city.
-He is literally made of blocks.
-He has a multipurpose tool for different situations. Sometimes its a gun, most of the time its a taser, and on rare occasions, its grapple pistol you see above.

In a lot of ways, Jones exists as a foil to the Fly, or rather, for the purposes of this piece, the Fly exists as a foil for Jones. Both have similar ideas about justice; its just, one's a police officer working within the law, and the other is a vigilante working outside of it.  I tried to reflect it in their designs; the Fly's comprised mostly of curves, whereas Jones is comprised mostly of blocks and hard edges.  This is a reflection of his personality: He's glued to procedure and the law, and unwilling to think outside of it.  Hopefully, this won't get him killed. 

Next time: you'll learn how to draw him!
