Although this is the first time he's ever seen the light of day, I've always liked this design. I took a few classes in Anthropology back in junior college and they've helped me reverse engineer many of the demihumans I've imagined, in a very Barlowe sorta way

Notice the paper warping? I still find it faster to work in watercolor under some circumstances. Generally, all the rough sketches get photocopied and I experiment with basic color schemes until I get something I like. Then I move over to digital for the final touches. It's better that way...
