Developing Gair

I've been working on my character design final, which is create a main character of a story and do a whole lot of work to develop them. So I decided to really focus on a final design for Gair. I've already written some stuff about him to better understand what his design should reflect, but right now I'm in the process of really figuring out that design. Surprisingly, I've had more luck with working in my sketchbook than I have digitally. Which is strange, because it's usually the opposite.

Some sketchbook studies.

And here were some digital attempts.
