Answer 1

I cannot speak for all studios, but where I worked there was a lot of ‘examples’ of what characters would looks like for the artists to follow.

Then a manager would approve the work along the way to try an unify the look and, finally, the director, director of photography and so on would have the final say.

More often than not there would be changes requested along the way if the art did not match the vision.
