The inspiration for the final therapist was mostly based off of the semi circle shape. He is very tall, but he will be sat down for the animation, so this will make him seem taller than the other two, even when sat down.
Even though he has the most dialogue, he is a passive character, who is just calmly trying to understand the situation - so he is mostly based off of the equally passive Tim Lockwood. Finding a film version like Robin Williams was useful for clothing inspiration and a good possible reference for the quirks in his office, and the voice.
The other two characters are much more expressive than the Therapist, so I was trying to find good ways to exaggerate his expressionism. I knew his moustache would have to move a lot to hide his mouth, so I made this part of his expressions, wiggling side to side. His monobrow also has to be able to hide his eyes, so that curves and bends - and can even turn sharp when he's angry. I like the little detail of the strand of hair reacting to his emotions: flopping when he's sad, angular when he's angry, straight when he's shocked.
