Subject: How old is he?

I'm working on a character based on Apollo.  I'm trying to make him look a certain age, within 2 or three years, but I'm not sure I've hit it. 

Rather than prejudice opinion of how old he is supposed to look, I'm just going to pose the question:  How old do you think he is?

Any input is appreciated.

Hmm... it's difficult without the tell-tale details that we unconsciously pick up on when we guess someone's age. I've seen some 16-year olds who could look like this without my specs on (I mean me, not them) and some in their mid-thirties.

But I would hazard a guess at 27 and three quarters.

Hard to tell by the facial features. If you go by the skin textures and hairstyle, mid 20's.

If you go by facial features, to me something is very ambiguous about them. The eyes seem a bit puffy, but the nose and chin are pretty skinny and pointy, almost feminine.

Quote - Between 19-22 years old.

That's my guess.  My first thought was 19 or so.

Well, thanks to everyone for the opinions.  I was shooting for early twenties, and judging from most of the responses, looks like I hit the mark.

My main concern was that he looked too young (16-17), and the more I looked at him, the harder it was to tell.  But nobody guessed under 19, so success!

As I get older, I find it harder and harder to tell how old people are (even when I look in the mirror).

Well, I tend to date younger guys, often in their  mid to late 20's. Let's just say that the guy in your image looks way too young for me to even give a second glance :)  He's definitely no more than 19 years old.

Acadia, you made my day.  This character is supposed to be a sort of young haughty goofball who has a crush on his 34 year-old neighbor, but she regards him as an annoying punk.

Your reaction makes me think I hit the nail on the head!  Thanks a million!

You're welcome :)

12 Tarns, which in your earth years is 28.

He looks much older in the last image.
