I do a lot of character commissions. I love them! They are a chance to have my creativity meet up with someone else's ideas. I try to make the character mine with cool added bits and pieces of costume, attitude or looks.
I find it interesting that I tend to go for the usual face front, standing pose all the time. It's the best way to show the character details.
But, if I am thinking painting or event - I tend to go for something that the character is interacting with - they are merely a part of the work. Sometimes they are not the star. I've seen some great pictures where the main character has his back to the viewer - or much of them are hidden in darkness.
I need to remember to ask if this is a character portrait - or something more.
