Oops. Hair! I have added the hair to George elm this morning. Fairly simply taking the hair from George and adjusting its length and shape. I had planned to have hair flowing down his back, but to be honest the amount of time it would take to animated it, with the head movement and shoulders far out ways the effect. I could have instead added a cloth driver to the hair for ease of animation, but again feel more comfortable animating the hair by hand and therefore have opted to keep relatively the same beard as George, making it much faster to develop the character. Considering the George Elm and Ian Elm are hardly seen, in fact George Elm is seen the least, it seems unimportant to spend to long shaping and reworking hair textures and cloth drivers to add the effect of the long hair.
