Too little definition to be sure, but here's a digital painting of what I think he may have looked like.

This is just an intermediate stage with the original overlaid on the "adjusted" version. Does this look more like him?

Thanks Annie,

This is the sort of picture which can drive a person slowly insane. I've tweaked it again and again and I am still seeing a slightly different image to the one in my mind's eye.

There's something not quite right about the chin and mouth, but I can't quite put my finger on it. If I tweak one bit, it throws something else out of whack, and I'm back to Square One!  :-\

If I can ever get it to "feel" right, then I can add some of the detail, but until then its just gonna remain all hazy and undefined

Tutti Fruiti lips? Are you sure, Annie?  ;D

I think I know what you mean, but I can't quite get it to look natural without looking too, erm, mint choc chip (well, if you're gonna quote ice cream flavours!)  ;D ;D
