's "25 essential expressions" sheet [link] has been around a while, and I've had it on my comp for about as long, started three times, scrapped everything, started over... and finally did it tonight.
Okay, I FAIL at expressions. I even fail at likenesses. Which is kind of sad, since Aidan Cameron is probably the most often drawn character in my life (wait, no, that's probably still Maedhros).
Anyway, I had fun, hope you do too. Each of these was done in less than four minutes. Some of them are actually good. I like "rage", "hollow" and "drunk". Some of the others are... less than. Clearly, Aidan doesn't get triumph too often.
Well, two things are for sure: he's more expressive than you claim him to be, and I'd fail at reading his "angry" expression... which doesn't seem safe, no
Of course "silly" is my favourite
Btw... does he really show all those expressions at least once a lifetime? Imagining some of my less expressive characters, they really would keep their faces mostly carefully schooled... not to mention some wouldn't be capable of "flirty" for dear life

Whisper to me and I will listen; yell at me and I will not. (Or you could just talk. That works, too.)
You may be reading more much sooner than seeing more - I'm on chapter three right now, and intend to put it up after all (because I'm loving it, and that's saying something)

Any chance you might love the whole book the same way? (Eager readers are horrible creatures, beware - little furry animals with HUGE puppy eyes and nimble fingers, ready to snatch and read anything you offer!)

Flirty would probably be in a brothel.

Well, I'll be looking forward to seeing more of him!
