Description
Obviously Team Jumpe isn't finished until it's a graphic novel. (Even then it's not finished until it's an animated series, hahahaha).However, I don't want it to be my first because then it will be of lower quality.
So in order to practice comic pages but actually have a full intent, I have an outline for a fairly short story (can't estimate a length because the narrative's a little screwy). What I'm planning on doing is writing it out enough that I can publish pages to dA eventually and that's the only way others can view the story.
Then, eventually I'll either put a ton of pages together in a PDF form or similar and then do things electronically, or I'll also use this to practice binding and stuff. Then I can actually try selling these at events or something. Not sure yet. Still far away from that stage.
So far away in fact that I haven't decided on names for any of these characters. I have plenty of possibilities floating around, but I figured I'd ask the internet for their impressions. I'm not going to give character personalities away, I just would like to see what people come up with.
I don't want Japanese names, however the names don't have to be exactly normal English names either. For example, it could be Polish or something, but what I really meant is that I have a couple names like "Sixx" and "Marble" as possibilities. So normal words and plays on them are fine too.
These are really rough concepts by the way. I did them in the passed couple of hours, which is pretty quick for me for 11 characters that I've only started thinking about since earlier today.
EDIT: For the moment, I think I've decided on their names. If you have some brilliant idea, I might reconsider still, but here goes
1. Sixx
2. Pan
3. Arcada
4. Desmond
5. Desdemona (lol, can you guess a pairing yet?)
6. Marble
7. Bret
8. Jermain
9. Ace
10. Catherine
11. Sara

I like 10, she's seems hardcore. I think a good name for her would be Jeanette or something, because it's feminine yet strong.
I think 1 should be named Hawkins because it sounds brave which is the opposite of how he looks.

Twins always have matching names, yet when I tried to think of names for them I kept liking things that have nothing in common for some reason.

I like the name. For the one standing up.

NO. I don't like the name, and even if I did I'd give it to the one sitting down.

Marble was a heartwrenching name. I knew a Marble. In tales of symphonia. She was old. She died. Not of old age.
sad.
Well, this is an exciting idea!
I adore 4, 6, and 10 most of all.
Just a general note; I love how expressive these poses are. Like, you didn't just draw them all standing. I'm sure you know what I mean. It's a lot more interesting to look at.
2 looks like Pan to me. It's technically a masculine name, but Pan's Labyrinth suggests it can be for girls too, so there.
4 Should be Rolf. If he has a love interest, she should be Leisl. Because I have 16 going on 17 in my head.
9 Looks like a Henry.
That's all that stood out to me.

On the one hand, liking number 6 is good because she was the one I was thinking of naming Marble. On the other hand, she's one of the least important characters. 4 is important but I don't like his design much so there's a good chance I'll change it. 10 IS IMPORTANT AND I DON'T LIKE THE CHARACTER AT ALL BUT I LOVE THE DESIGN BECAUSE IT FITS HER PERFECTLY. Though she's not really that tall. I drew these individually on three different pieces of paper and then photoshopped them together. That's the reason why some people are sitting. I wanted to fit them all on three pieces of paper, and sitters take half the space.
My favorite character is 1, by the way. Just because you mentioned the ones you adore the most.
Also, I wanted to mention that I tried to make sure they didn't look like TJ characters at all. I hope I succeeded.
I like that. Pan is a nice name for her. She's also one of the lesser important characters so I hadn't tried to hard with her name. Pan sounds better than what I came up with.
I almost considered Rolf until you pointed out that you were taking it from the Sound of Music. Now I don't think that fits him at all. Also it means that 5 won't be Leisl.
Henry's not too bad. Hmm.. I was thinking of naming him Ace. I'm thinking Ace but I'm not set yet.
I like how you really like 4, 6, and 10 but didn't consider 6 and 10 as ones that stuck out to you. xD

Oh god. Marble. Do it.
Darn, he's changing? meh, I feel like he'll be cute either way.
I do LOVE her character design. Seriously. A lot. Yup.
How economical. Actually, not really, since they're only all on the same page on the computer, and used lots of paper anyways, lol.
She looks rather crazy. Do you like her best on the whole/as a character, or in design? (Since obviously mine was based purely on design, I'm not sure.)
You did completely succeed, although 10 made me think of Jumpe. And Team Jumpe is named after her.
Yayyyy for being helpful.
Damnit all. Oh! But now I know the love interest which I'm sure was on purpose yay!
Ace. Hmmm. If he's a confident lad, Ace would suit him.
As in, there weren't any names for them that jumped out to me!

Doing it.
Now that I've colored him he's started to grow on me and I don't mind him as much. It's just that he was meant to be cool, calm, and collected, and now he's becoming timid with low self esteem. So I still might change him if I have to. Actually, it's probably just the expression I put here. The design can stay the same but he'll have a slight air of confidence.
Character, design, insanity, everything. I love Sixx.
Hopefully her being a carrot top will make her look less Jumpey.
He's not that confident. But we don't really see too much into his character to know that.

Oh, I understand. Yeah, I think it's his face, not his like, hair/clothes.
It will.

I became famous for the sole purpose of making sure my family had enough respect to avoid being beaten up by your succubus daughter.
