One of the blessings of knowing and working with someone for a long time is “honest evaluation”. When I sent the Eridani Light Horse rifleman drawing to Scott he was very frank in his assessment: loved the figure but not the face. At first the nonverbal reptile lurking in the survival area of my brain wanted to lash out…but then I had to admit that I had not been that happy with the face but had just wanted to “get it out the door”
…and right at that moment Lori chimed in with ” You know, I wasn’t happy with the mouth….”
I had also left out the communications headset so using the wonders of adhesive labels blocked out then reworked the rifleman’s face and cap into a stronger visage
