I guess I'm kinda curious exactly how you want him to look. That may sound stupidly obvious, but I've never been sure exactly how much of Drezzer's, um, physical popularity was intentional. Particularly because, Beatlemania-era girls aside, I hardly consider George Harrison a sex symbol. I know you said much of his sexiness is his attitude, but it's still a matter of whether he's good-looking but doesn't put too much effort into it, or whether he's more just sorta scruffy-cute and the attitude is what counts.
Cuz, to get longwindedly to my point, your original design seems to be more of the latter, but this version looks a little more good-looking-and-he-knows-it. Probably due to the mouth/jawline.
This isn't to say either is right, or will be interpreted by everyone as such, but as another artist I find it fascinating to play the game of what the artist visualizes and what the public sees.
Drezzer's in sort of a unique place that while people "expect" a model or a bartender or an athletic computer geek or a goofy mystic to "look" a certain way, but with Drez, you've got free range :-)
FWIW, I'm afraid the folded ears always make me think a collie. But I do approve of the more realistic wolf coloring to the ruff.
