I like the smirk idea. Full on smile just doesnt scream Docta Jones to me.
You don't think this is a worthwhile paint up?
Now that you mention it....
I was thinking high school picture. This is the inherent problem with the smiling sculpt for me. It really doesn't capture the character, even though he does smile a lot. But his essence is pure rugged adventurer and that smile just isn't something that should be permanent. Makes him seem impish.
That said, its a terrific paint job.
Both the WGP heads seem to lose a little likeness with painting - maybe it's just the paint-ups seen so far despite them being pretty good, esp the smiling.
This current head paint-up has a slight Sacha Baron Cohen/Adam Sandler vibe to me, not sure why - maybe it's the sideways eyes. It still looks great but I agree it's a bit of a niche look, though several posters from 1981 had a smiling look, even if it doesn't exactly capture a movie scene.
Really looking forward to seeing more paint-ups of the WGP heads. It's still early days with them.
Very bad paint readjustment, but I think making his eyes look forward make him look less naughty. Even though my fail attempt makes him slightly cross-eyed.
