Sure, they all have the same basic design (blank face, suit) but there are definitely differences in other aspects. For example, some depictions of him have tentacles and some do not. In some drawings, the tentacles emerge from his back, but I've seen others where they come out of his arms or hands. This is the problem with using folkloric characters. You have a basic design and structure, but a lot of it is conjecture and speculation.

And you know what? Perhaps Peter and Lloyd would have a great time devising their own personality and design for Slender Man, and it would work brilliantly and I'd be shown up as a loudmouth idiot (inb4 someone says "you already are"). But I'm not convinced that he would work. I don't believe that his backstory, games and creepypastas are enough to work with, and I think his design would be too laughable for a horror character in an ERB.
