Don't worry you will get better at them as you do more. I like the idea behind #4, I just feel it could be a bit more dynamic. Remember to always start with that silhouette, much of the dynamic will originate from that. right now yours is a bit blobby (pun intended :) ) I messed with it a bit to try and give it a bit more juice. I also like #2 and think that could work. You are falling into the classic pitfall of trying to "draw" too much though. This thumbnail phase is more about design. Just as a side note, I feel the rest are a bit too literal, and not iconic enough. Remember that as an illustrator you usually have one image to blow their socks of, so make it count.
I like #4 too and you created a really powerful silhouette. I will apply the silhouette concept to a few of the others along with some of the comments I got from lucas and mike. Then I will get started on the photo reference. Thanks for the crit!
