First off, I like him a lot. He has a lot of personality - from the big nose and bad teeth, to all of the gear he has strapped to his body, to the cool snake staff he holds. He's kind of scrawny like you would expect of an "old school" wizard, so he probably can't take much damage. Still, I would not underestimate him as I bet he has a few nasty spells up his sleeves.
I went with the red cloak this time, but I was careful not to make him look like Santa Claus with a white beard and a red hat. I thought that a magenta and gold color scheme would work.
This guy is carrying a lot of stuff. He seems to have at least two small bags, a mirror, a potion, and several large bags strapped to his belts. I also see a pipe and a wine flask. All of these little details on this guy added to the painting time, but they make him perfect for wizard on an adventure.
I reddened his face a bit ...probably not enough...to show his love for wine. I love the 25' -50' of rope this guy is carrying like all good adventurers should.
