Ok, so I did a turnaround for Smash. It came out looking pretty good too. Think I've got him worked out from most angles now. One thing that I think I'm going to make sure with all of these characters is that they're either entirely or at least mostly symmetrical. With Smash, I probably need to work out what he looks like on the other side just cos of his hair, but that shouldn't be too tricky, and honestly, I'm not sure anyone would notice if it was just a horizontal flip of the images below.
Not bad, right?
It was at this point that I realised that I still didn't have a colour scheme for him. Unless I planned to do a short with him that was entirely outlines - which to be fair, could work - I needed to have some proper colours in mind. So I did a few different palette swaps of him:

I think I'm gonna go with the red and white one. The black/grey one was done with "stealth" in mind, but given the gadgets he's got, that doesn't really fit him too well, and the yellow/white one just didn't seem very villainous. I think it's quite neat how the red one sort've reminds me of the uniforms from Attack on Titan, but also the stereotypical colonial British army uniform. So yeh, I think I'm going with that one.
