Try some random character generators for prompts, or just doodle around, the slightiest change can turn a character into something vastly different, i might get lynched for this, but you don't need to construct everything, only maybe some of the most basic stuff, you can even try drawing random shapes, adding features and shit. a fundamental part of character design is to try different approaches for the same character, and see what sticks for a final design.
