excellent topic this time

quite different

one little question..can we use existing characters from movie/comics/games as a reference for modeling or do we have to make the character out of our imagination? It'll be very difficult for me then

Yes you can do tat. The Wiki link of the description has a list of a lot of examples along with their images of the topic too that you can choose from.
