Villain Silhouettes - 1st Pass

Once again I gave the designs to my peers.  These were the results: 

1 -|||
2 - ||||
3 -|||
4 -|
5 - |
6 -||||||
7 -||||
8 - ||
9 - |

Some felt designs 3, 4 and 5 felt too cliche and that 4 felt more like a second-in-command type character and 5 didn't suit the brief.  Design 8 is also a bit too "normal."

The spectral qualities of 6 and 7 were appealing as were the "creepy spider-like qualities" of 1, 2 and 7.

So 6 seems to be the favourite.  I'm really liking the idea of having the villain be some sort of monster like creature as monster designs are a weak point of mine - This will be a good opportunity to get some practice in whilst still fitting the "ancient being" side of the brief.
