Which is the best model for my needs?

I want to create a character close to Sterling Archer, from the cartoon series. Somehow always when I try, there is nothing in common. What is the best model or closest to this one, to start with? Genesis 8 if possible. I am just really bad with any proportions (literally 0 art skills).

Always cool to meet new DS users, welcome! It's very addicting, so be warned ;) Back to your question, there has been a toon character released recently and with tweaking, you should be able to get close: https://www.daz3d.com/toon-dwayne-8-pro-bundle
OR you could start with the more "realistic" way and start with Michael 8: https://www.daz3d.com/michael-8 and use products to tweak the character:

And use a toon shader t give it a more toony feel:

There are more ways than one to approach this, but this is how I should've done it :) Good luck!

Just in case you want a character already made, if I may suggest Finn for Edward 8.

Very similar face structure. Main difference would the cartoon's figure's arching eyebrows whereas Finn's brows tend not to arch.

lol thanks, I had exams last month and kidna forgot about this thread. This one seems good and pretty close, need only a double chin which I already managed to in one of my tries + the area around the eyes.
