Around this point is where I found a shape/design I was really enjoying. I liked the body shape that was resembling more of a bowling pin, or a penguin; it gives the character more of a friendly vibe in my opinion. After all, he comes in peace!
Even though the design is set at this point, I'm still trying to figure out his personality, end goals, and arc that he will contribute in the overall story in the series. I'm satisfied with the end result with Ned's design overall.
Time to move on to Ted!
