I like the idea. The idea comes through the best in number 4. One thing needs work is the expression of the guy. He looks scared. I guess that is not the intention. Good work!

thanks . i'll try to work on it. :)

I agree with Ivan- perhaps a good approach would be to make the face somewhat more abstract - sort of like an emoticon, you know?

Or maybe just a mouth?
