Cupid designs

I really like my new Psyche design (shown last week and below), so I've moved onto Cupid.  I really had to think about his age when working on Cupid's design.  He has to look older than Psyche, but still be in his late teens.  I knew going in what I wanted his body shape to be, so I decided to jump straight into working on his head.

I started working with sharper angles and shapes than Psyche, and while the design above felt like a good start it didn't feel quite masculine enough for a leading man character.   So I decided to broaden his chin a bit and give his face a bit more definition.  I'm still playing around with some of the interior shapes, but I'm currently thinking that either of the top two (or some combination thereof) will be my final design for Cupid.
 
I tried going in a very different direction for the 4th facial design, but he turned out too old and too much like Jamie Lannister from Game of Thrones...
