Designing a Monster from the Closet

I've been thinking a lot lately about the final script I'm going to submit a packet for in my Scriptwriting final, and I think I might do the Monsters in the Closet story I came up with during Visual Storytelling I. However, I didn't get to develop the characters as much as I wanted to when I turned it in, including the look of them. So today during my in-class doodling, I played around with it a bit. Here's some of the final ones for this as of yet unnamed character.

 I wanted this guy to be very shy and quiet, so his first design was very cute and closed. He was a little too one dimensional though, so I'm playing with the idea that if he gets pushed too far, he goes into a berserker mode that's more typical of his species. Normally, he slouches a lot and keeps his massive mouth closed, but when angered he stretches up to his full height and brings out his massive claws and teeth.
I'm much more happy with the direction this is going now. This was the easy character to develop, however. Design-wise, he was the most thought out to start with. I'm going to have to spend a little more time with the other ones.
