One of my characters has been frustrating me lately. His motives have gone all ambiguous, and I think he's also suddenly changed roles so drastically in the story so as to become a bad guy. Felix wasn't going to be a bad guy, but I think he is now.
That is nothing to say with how frustrating it is to draw him consistently. I only manage consistancy with the main character, serpent, because I draw her ALL THE TIME. Felix is harder to get right, since I'm not sure exactly how to get the expressions I need on him. Everytime I come out with something I like, it dosen't look like Felix at all.
The first version I ever did of felix over a year ago was pretty close to how I wanted him to be:

Problems with anatomy and akward eye placement aside.
Now, I'm deep into chapter two, and Felix enters the story, so I started re doing him more in keeping with my current syle, and, as you can see, he won't come out consistantly:



(yes, the bottom one is done in ms paint)
Finally, I've ended up with this gentleman on the page, and I'm not totally sure how I feel about him. (note my sloppy greyscaling, which is why my comic pages never have images this big.)

Thus ends my Felix sketchdump of frustration.

I like the facial lines denoting age and "hardness," they put a lot into his character.
... so update this every now and then. =P
