It’s a really weird place to be in because I feel like I need to think about it in 3 dimensions. Bone structure, multiple angles; all the different aspects of our faces that change with weight gain, subtle shifts in expressions, etc. Because I very much like
the face on the original prototype and I think it’s a lot more evocative of what I think of when I think of Reeve Supes. I also think those features and his eyes, in particular, make it a lot more lifelike, IMO. Despite that, with how gaunt it is and how sunken in the eyes are, it also felt a lot like that Hollywood Boulevard Superman that showed up on Kimmel all the time before he tweaked too hard and got himself stuck in a dumpster.
Like, is it just
easier to start from scratch or could they have just slapped some putty on those cheeks to beef that boy up and gave him a little hair cut? Because I like the proportions of the new sculpt a lot, in terms of the jaw, the head shape, and the hair, but the original face, itself, was
so close to being where it needed to be that I almost wonder if people couldn’t ***** them into turning around a third time and combining the two.
