I think there are two key factors that affect this....the eyebrows (particularly the one on the right) have a more aggressive height on the sketch and the pencile weight of the outline of the thumb appears heavier in the sketch (which implies a stronger fist).

Anyway, now that you mentioned that it does have slightly too long neck and head is teeny weeny bit too big. In your pencil sketchs I see that you use kind of "skeleton" in which you then draw body to surround that. You could go "Leonardo" for that head too. (you did know that many of Leonardos artworks were actually pretty much biologigal science works? Those are anatomically and biologically as close to reality as possible). So "skeletonice" that head too. Shape and size and point of connection to spinal cord in right place and you are set. Theoretically. I don't have any drawing skills, everything I draw looks like blueprints for constructing something. There is no motion, no life in my drawings. They are pretty correct in shape and looks, but they are not alive. My sister can draw galloping horse using single curvy line. I envy her. That cut&paste fooled me.

And about differences between the sketch and the comic, Craig uses more different types of gray to and shadows while J.D. only use 1 darker colour. That really makes a difference in how a drawing looks :) Ow and Tara just look more angry in the sketch. Same thing with the faulds (hope its the right word :P) in Tara's cloth. Really liked the 'making of' the comic, you guys should do that more often. Yeah, those are some really nice sketches.

There is some nice shading that is lost in the comic version. Of course, the comic should use the comic version; probably it would be impossible to use a style which takes the best from two.
