Applied Animation - Shade initial designs

Out of all the characters designs i feel this will be the most reminiscent of the live action character as they were fairly faithful to him. My initial struggles were with the head shape as well as what this character would be wearing. Shades were described as possessed mages but this one thought with a sword so i didn't know wether or not to put him in robes or armour resulting in a very poorly and boring designed outfit. I like the crooked nose as its very prominent in his design and it doesn't look cute or pretty. My main overall concern was wether or not he'd look too similar to the elf character (pointed ears and slanted eyes).











The first three were all failures the clothes and the face shape all look weird i wanted to give him sharp cheek bones and pursed lips to make him look drained and more lifeless but they didn't look appealing at all. The other two designs were better, i liked the hands and arms wanting to keep those but the long hooded robe has been used quite a few times so i think i can find a variant, I'm still not happy with the face shape.
