The eyes really sell it. And you caught the expression well. One eye brow is a little longer but they don’t need to be exactly the same…
Folds on the towel are also great.
Learning a lot from this paint job, made a lot of mistakes. Everything is painted and awaiting decals. Gotta love Walmart bought spray paint( granted it isn’t Walmart brand).
More work in progress on thr NG Exia
