So the team logos are kind of adorable. I wouldn't really call either animal "Deadly" or "Brutish," but hey, the Killer Bass logo didn't exactly look "Killer" either.

As for Jade, there actually one thing that looks a little off about her design to me: her hair doesn't have a part. Total Drama style doesn't tend to show parts because the bangs or front of the hair usually starts right at the tip of the head, but since Jade has hair that's clearly center parted and has some volume on top it looks like she could use a line to indicate her part. (I couldn't really think of the right terminology to use, so if this doesn't make any sense, I'd totally be willing to try to show you an image.) As for her side view, I actually think it's really good! The only things that are off are her tie, which is still at a three-quarter angle. The way you have in now, it looks like the tie drapes on one side of her breasts instead of centered and over them. Also, because her hairstyle looks like her hair is tucked behind her ears, you really shouldn't see that much hair on the far side of her profile view. You probably could get away with having some hair there, but the way it looks now would probably have some hair almost covering her eye if you were to turn it back to a front view.

Like the comments before me said, Nate's head is kind of huge, which I think could really be throwing off his design. I really don't get how you came up with the neck cover thing, but since you think the exposed neck design looks odd too, I actually think I might've come up with an idea to help you out. He's wearing a varsity jacket, which often have either a stripe around the collar area or an actual piece of fabric that sticks up and serves as a collar. For an example of what I mean, my character Risty is wearing a varsity jacket in her main image, and it has a collar around the neck area (also, here're some real life references of athletic jackets with different collar areas for ideas (1) (2) (3).

The stereotype for the artist is really general, so there are so many things you can do with that character to make them unique. You could have an urban street artist whose main medium is graffiti, a photographer, or an artist who thinks they're talented but really isn't good at all. Try not to think of a character just as their stereotype. Their label is just a starting point.
