Portfolio Class- Character Development!

[malan]

This time I did some head sketches for Merlin, trying to explore ideas for what I would like to do. An issue I had with Arthur, is that he did not have a lot of personality, the face was very boring and I felt like it lacked something interesting, so this time I'm trying to fix that! The idea is to play with the Djinn concept and mix it with the Merlin character. These are some different ideas based on the same concept, and playing around mostly with the beard and hair. I'm thinking of giving him white/gray hair, but I kind of liked the black hair idea, but it makes him look younger.

So, what's your thoughts? which one do you like? which you don't? :)
