RL - Jonan 25 Expressions

Description

First, an explanation:
Jonan is, first and foremost, a favourite character of mine from the RuneWriters story I'm working on. However, I've recently been invited to an online D&D game that goes by the name "Rising Legion" (thus, "RL") and DM *actoratheart has been kind enough to allow me to turn him into a D&D character, and insert my arrogant lip-sealed necromancer into her world, Nilarion. Naturally, some changes were in order, so Nilarion!Jonan has essentially become a slightly younger, alternate-reality variant. I STILL LOVE HIM GREATLY. :heart:

I had a lot of fun, perhaps too much fun, with the Expression Challenge. I did it more as an exercise than reference; it's not completely consistent, but should give a pretty decent idea of how his face moves, which is important for him.
You see, Jonan has the misfortune of being utterly unable to open his mouth, which renders him functionally mute... and makes his face do interesting things when he's upset. :D

He does not always fit in the little boxes, since I did this on separate paper. I like to think this means I... think outside the box? :"D

Comments:
--"Pleased" = if Jonan is pleased, no one else should be pleased. There is probably an army of undead involved in his happiness.
--"Tired" = whether he's tired after a long day, or tired of being asked questions he cannot answer with "yes" or "no," is entirely up to you. =P
--"Irritated" = basically his default face
--"Fear" = :aww: This is my favourite expression on this sheet.
--"Bereft" = doubles as the "There Is No Cure" expression. :noes:
--"Fierce" = OH YEAH ALSO he draws blood to augment his magic. That might make this one make more sense. ^^;
--"Drunk" = It has been determined that Jonan would be an angry drunk, who frequently forgets that he cannot talk. But um... how did anyone get him drunk?! 0_o
--"Nauseous" = This one was actually really hard, since the usual "hand over mouth" pose doesn't make sense. Don't think about that one too hard.

If you're crazy and want to see this thing FULL SIZE so you can... I dunno... read my handwriting better or something? There actually is a full size hugenormous file over here: [link]
And if you're awesome and want to take the challenge for your own characters, here's the blank template over here!: [link]

I love his drunk expression. I'm pretty sure he would be rambling, if his mouth would open... On a side note, how the hell is his hair so... fluffy?? I want to just touch it or something!
