Alternate Styles for my Red Bull Hercules Character

Since I feel like I pretty much got the design of my character right, I thought it would be a good idea to try out the design with different styles. I redrew the character using two of my other drawing styles (I have about three different styles) and the two images below are what I came out with.

The version of Hercules shown above is drawn in a cartoony, square-headed style reminiscent of the videogame Minecraft. This style would be good for advertising because the style is easily relate-able, even for people who have never even heard of Minecraft (all three of them). This is because the straightforward nature of the line art allows for a wide range of comical exaggeration and expressions, and communicates the point I am trying to make with the illustration very clearly.

This version of Hercules is drawn in my own unique, free-hand style. While I am told that my sense of anatomy is serviceable, I don't think that this style is suited to advertising, because it lacks the obscure, iconic nature of my square-head style.

After discussing these points with my tutor, I have decided to go with my square-head style to use in the work on this brief. We agreed on the points I previously wrote about the square-head style, and I now have an opportunity to further develop a style that I randomly came up with one day at college.
