You guys just turned Yosemite Sam from the crazy laughable loose-trigger and comedic villain into the ultimate edgy gigachad deadeye sharpshooter and feared outlaw of the Wild West. I LOVE IT!

love the last one. you made him look like a character from red dead redemption or something. ryuk was interesting too, the prompt does kind of make him sound like a weird gang member out of context

Dickens had some very interesting ways of describing characters; we had to draw one of them for our QCS practise tests back in 2006. You could possibly do a whole Dickens-themed video, especially if you throw in someone from 'A Christmas Carol' and do it in time for Christmas!

Having guessed Yosemite Sam pretty much as soon as you put the clothes on the Mr Potato Head, it was very entertaining seeing you come up with the gritty reboot version. And also now I want Hellboy and Yosemite Sam Mr Potato Heads to be a thing.

The mr potato head method is a really great idea to focus only on the prompts! Awesome series 😊

I love Yosemite Sams design. It was so good. It was like the live action realistic version of Yosemite Sam and I love when people turn things realistic, so I really liked that

This was so cool! I really like using the same base model for the initial brainstorming because it really highlights the key features of each design (plus Mr. Potato Head is an iconic toy). I only managed to guess two of the four today (#1 and #4 threw me for a bit of a loop), so kudos to the team for their good character picks (plus an extra cheer for Alicia for the cool renders, and maybe an apology if I did a name misspelling).

Typically, I hardly know any of the characters and you know what? It doesn’t matter! It is so much fun to see your interpretation of the description, the end result and then the character as it is normally depicted. very cool!

Don't know how popular these will be, but I have a couple of suggestions for character descriptions that might be interesting to draw. The first is the Ghost of Christmas Christmas Past from A Christmas Carol. The passage that describes it reads as follows: "It was a strange figure—like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child’s proportions. Its hair, which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. The arms were very long and muscular; the hands the same, as if its hold were of uncommon strength. Its legs and feet, most delicately formed, were, like those upper members, bare. It wore a tunic of the purest white; and round its waist was bound a lustrous belt, the sheen of which was beautiful. It held a branch of fresh green holly in its hand; and, in singular contradiction of that wintry emblem, had its dress trimmed with summer flowers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm." The second character is Mad-Eye Moody from Goblet of Fire. He is described as having "a long mane of grizzled, dark grey hair" a face that "looked as though it had been carved out of weathered wood by someone who had only the vaguest idea of what human faces were supposed to look like, and was none too skilled with a chisel. Every inch of skin seemed to be scarred. The mouth looked like a diagonal gash, and a large chunk of the nose was missing...One [eye] was small dark and beady. The other was large, round as a coin, and a vivid, electric blue." He is also described as "leaning upon a long staff, shrouded in a black travelling coat" and having a " carved wooden leg, ending in a clawed foot."

The Potato Head method is pretty funny, I enjoy it. I did guess Yosemite Sam right away which made it SO much funnier to watch the direction you took it in.

The potato head was the cherry on top of an already really great concept! This was so fun. Only guessed the first, and I haven't even watched GoT…😊

Suggestion: in Magic the gathering they came out with an expansion named Modern horizons 2 and in that expansion they had these concept art cards. They had the same art as the real card but they lacked color and looked like line art concepts of the final product. And where the flavor text at the bottom would normally go they instead put the prompt that was given to the artist to come up with the concept. They are also given details like the gameplay color of the card and the type of card like creature, artifact or spell. I think it would be cool for you to take some of those prompts and see what you make of them. Or do popular characters from magic in general. If you do end up doing popular characters from magic I really want to see you do a version of Avacyn Angel of hope.

Jazza looks like a weatherman but instead of describing the weather, he’s describing the features of a mr potato head 😂

That Yosemite Sam is actually so cool! I would 100% watch that gritty reboot version of Yosemite Sam haha

I guessed Tyrion and Hellboy. Well, I guessed some of the others too but not correctly :) Never fails to amaze me how what Jazza produces looks like a complete picture and doesn't seem like much can be added but then Alysha works her magic and WOW!

I like the potato head approach. It sort of made it easier to give the prompts in a way that didnt ruin it . And at least for me, it stopped me from all to quickly guessing.

Alesha is amazing. She really tuned these amazing drawings up to the next level.

I’d love to see some characters from The Expanse and other scifi settings covered! Star Wars, trek, Babylon 5… but also modern successes like The Martian, Becky Chambers’s Wayfarer series, or Murderbot diaries!

I guessed immediately, as soon as I saw the colors described and the hair and mustache...I was cracking up the whole time you were drawing him. That's a great interpretation!
