Today I finalized the doll’s lips and gave the face more definition with some shading around eyes and nasal bridge, including trademark eye bags [TM]. I also made some better sock tops out of actual 1:1 scale sock tops. They fill in the space between the doll’s ankles and the comparatively large [temporary] Ken hiking boots, adding stability.
Okay, there is a decent Mattel-level likeness to Jodie Whittaker here. It was lost in the pale, wan, washed-out, underdone default faceup. Jodie Whittaker, despite having a somewhat generic prettiness, also has strongly marked features. Her eyes and mouth have distinctive shapes, which were captured by the sculpt, but not the paint. I just made everything darker and bigger, as is my wont.
