Bishounen of the Apocalypse
Eh. I think we've established that character design is not my forte. :) (Or at least, character design without a full script in hand to give me an idea of their personalities.)
I pretty much hate them all except Cute. Angsty's way out of proportion - he got redesigned at the last minute and I didn't take the time to redo the sketch like I should have. I'm still not happy with his hair or his clothing. All I know if that he's got to have something with enough of a neckline to show off the necklaces. :) And Snarky lost his expression when I inked it in - will work on that. Brooding isn't as dynamic as the others, and with Cute ... well, I can't do a big-eyed happy character without making them look slightly manic.
They also need to be very clean, very very simple because these are basically going into keychains and will be printed at 45 x 70 mm, which is SMALL. If anyone's got a copy of Salty Dog IV, page 60 is the basic idea I'm going for - flat, desaturated colors with no shading, and dynamic lines (which I have utterly failed to achieve with these).
Angsty
Snarky
Brooding
Cute
ETA: Maybe I really need YOU PEOPLE to write me snippets starring each of them so I can get a better feel for character. Have fun with it, and it doesn't matter if someone else has picked one and done it. (And don't think too hard about it.)
ETA2 Bonus points if you work in something from the kinkfic generator. My favorite one of each will get a free keychain starring that character! XD (hopefully that will get at least some of you interested in it...)

Re: Part 4
(They go to a hotel room, where Cute and Angsty get up each others noses until Brooding sits on them both, while Anti-Comic surfs the web, where he finds Snarky hanging out on a message board, and persuades him to join up, but Snarky will only interact via IRC, so Angsty accuses him of not really being a bishounen, at which point Snarky refuses to communicate with Angsty except in lolcat macros - "CHEER UP EMO-KITTEN" - but is finally persuaded by to set up a webcamera, whereupon he is revealed to be a red-headed stud smoking a cigarette and flicking V-signs at Angsty through the web-camera, and Cute thinks he's totally hot so starts flirting with him via text, only Snarky doesn't realise Cute isn't a girl and gets blind-sided at the end of their steamy chat session - "SURPRISE! BUTTSECKS!" - and Brooding is even more broody because he secretly really fancies Cute, and Angsty and Snarky are sulking while Cute gets high on sugar from the minibar and Anti-Comic is all "OMG am I stuck with these guys?", and then Cute falls asleep on Brooding, leaving him stuck in an awkward position because he won't move and risk Cute waking up and moving, and Anti-Comic falls asleep and Angsty realises how vulnerable he looks when he's sleeping and wants to curl up behind him, but of course he is immediately crushed with feelings of guilt and unworthiness, and ends up on IRC with Snarky at two in the morning having one of those touching broken conversations where both parties are trying to be cool and hide their feelings but really they are all so broken and bleeding and then the next morning Anti-Comic gets them all together again to announce that they need to take a road trip and TELOPHASE I HATE YOU)

Now all they need is a pimped out ride that turns into a unicorn.
