gotta clean up the mesh and texture, but was trying to get the silhouette feeling alright first
this was the silhouette about half way through, but it wasn't quite right to me. I think because of the legs and the shin guards. They needed more detail or there needed to be more in the knees I think.

how I try out different pieces and model characters
I gave my students a challenge last year to come up with non-violent shooting mechanics for games and they suggested a plant growing gun so I programmed up something during class. This is the result of that. Essentially you shoot a bullet at the ground or at another plant and it will grow some more plants where the bullet hit. You can customize how many more plants.
I had to put a limit on it because sometimes they would grow like DNA across the map. Since I also programmed the bullets to not get destroyed on impact they will sometimes get launched across the map when a new plant is added so the placement and randomization of the plant growth is pretty good, IMHO.
I ended up liking the results enough that I put the mechanic into my game as a grow gun. It acts as another way to build bridges and platforms for the player. The player can also use their regular destruction gun to destroy the plants if they want to.
Update on this moonlit sketch from class I posted earlier. I cleaned it up a bit, added some stuff, and fixed some problem areas. The second image shows some of the level design for the area.
