Alternate #1: The original frontal pose was going to be with his arms out wide, but I changed it in the end. You can see a hint of where I was going in the first picture.
Alternate #2: The clothed pose was originally going to be from the front, with both hands in his pocket. I changed it in the end because I felt it made the pose too symmetrical and basic, so I tilted his head up and away instead.
Alternate #3: Same thing, but with one hand behind his head! Again, just to add some asymmetry to the pose and to make it look a bit more visually interesting.
Alternate #4: I made a version where he's wearing a cowboy hat! It can be toggled on and off in my art document. :3
