More Heroes Concepts

As mentioned in earlier posts the initial concept for the boy in Heroes 1.0. didn't go down so well with Mike, so I decided to play around with the design further and looked at taking it down a more stylised approach.
I tried to experiment with as many looks and styles as possible, whilst sticking to the original character brief/description given to me by Kofi.
However I think that Kofi still wanted to use the last design, as he didn't want the character to be too stylised.
He did however mention If we were to take any of these design forward it would be the design in the middle above. I like the design however it is not my favourite. It reminds me of the designs from the Moomins.
My Favourite 3 would be the ones above, and I really think that they would have worked well in the film. They remind me of some of the designs In my Art of Incredibles book the centre boy looking quite like the character dash.

EDIT: As predicted Kofi felt strongly about the original design and has decided to use that one. His reasons were because he liked the traditional approach, and that the modeling was too far gone to merit changing the design at this late stage.
