Quick Ideas for our character design

Me and Ali both want to create an animation based on a dark subject for example; bullying, suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, self harm. (As cheery and that sounds)

We were discussing it and feel like maybe it would be interesting to focus on substance abuse, we've decided to keep it 'substance abuse' instead of anything too specific when it comes to character design, we know we want to create someone malnourished and skinny, whether it be a creature or human we can decide. But we will start making our puppet in a few days time.

DEFINITION: Substance abuse, also known as a drug abuse, is a patterned use of a drug which the user consumes, with methods which are harmful to themselves or others. It's also a form of substance-related disorder.

COMMON SIDE EFFECTS:

  • Mood swings
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Irritability
  • Hyperactivity
  • Agitation
  • Troubles in relationships
  • Decreased motivation
  • Intoxicated
  • Need of Money
  • Stealing 
  • Sudden changes in friends,hangouts,hobbies
  • Blackouts
  • Deteriorating physical appearance
  • Inattention to personal grooming
  • Loss of self control
  • Worsening of medical conditions
  • Physical dependent on drugs
  • Infections
  • changes in sleep appetite
  • Bloodshot eyes
  • Pupils smaller or wider than usual
  • Lethargy
  • Worsening of mental illness
  • Paranoia 
  • Hallucinations
  • Fearfulness 
  • Aggressiveness 
The ones highlighted in orange I feel will help me with the characters physical appearance, the red highlights are to help me with the characters movements and characteristic.
