I'll do a full review of each one and then a holistic review at the end.
------------------
1. Speedo Peon
------------------
The Good:
We're off to a good start with this one, whilst quite simple what we have here is done very well. This like most of the textures has an inventive use of TC on the towel which looks good. The hair details look really good and the unique lumber and gold texture is really good. The skin texture also looks really good with nice shadows and highlights.
Areas for Improvement:
The flip flops look almost like they've been pasted over on top, which based on how I assume these textures were made makes sense. So all it needs is a bit more work to make the flip flops look like more natural. I have a few comments about the green skin as well but I'll save that for the general comments since it applies to more than just this one.
Conclusion:
Very simple but effective, you had a good concept for this one and carried it out. Some details could be improved but overall very good 4/5!

2. Dad Peon
------------------
The Good:
This one I really like for some reason, the inventive integration of TC into the shirt is incredible and really good. The concept is executed very well; the whole skin screams "Dad at the beach" from the watch, to the shorts to the gawdy T-shirt style. The gold bag is creative and the small hair details and darker parts of the skin suggest this peon is older than the others. The watch also looks good for how much is packed into a small area to work with. I really like this one.
Areas for Improvement:
So whilst the blending between the shirt and shorts is done well, similar to before the look of the clothing needs to be integrated just a wee bit better, small shadows between the shorts and the leg for example will make it look like he's actually wearing the shorts and their not hovering over the top of him.
Conclusion:
A cool Dad peon, with the style and details to match the idea, I really like this one as already said. 4.5/5!
The rest will be done at a later date
