@StardustLarva - Thanks!
@BenFLores - Thanks man. The only advice I can give is to try and use a variety of different shapes (triangle, square, circle), and proportional relationships in your drawings when laying our your figures' structures. "Generic/ attractive" figures tend to have a very similar set of proportional relationships. Varying those relationships tend to produce more interesting varieties of figures. The amount that you vary the proportions can be subtle or dramatic, depending on whether you want to produce stylized or realistic work. However real people can also have very wildly varying proportions, and I think it helps to study these aspects of real life to get a handle on producing different types of figures in your imaginative work. This website has been useful for me as a reference source for 'different' types of humans in the world. Hope that helps.
