This is what I tried to capture when I started repainting tonight. I overpainted the existing eyes, made them bigger, added thicker lips and outer-edge shadows, etc., etc. The larger eyes also keep the face from looking too long. Any small change I make on this doll vastly improves it. I first thought that there wasn&#8217;t much of a likeness there, but now I think that it&#8217;s decent, as Mattel celebrity sculpts go, and I should be able to raise the likeness to 75% by the time all my messy customization is done.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll swap the body out. I don&#8217;t want to risk getting another to match. I will, however, change the feet for flat feet and the boots for flat ones. I may also shorten the doll slightly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1938.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1938-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12736\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1938-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1938-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1938-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1938-96x144.jpg 96w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1938.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1937.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1937-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12737\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1937-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1937-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1937-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1937-96x144.jpg 96w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_1937.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m working from pictures like the one below of Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[777,673,804],"class_list":["post-12734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-doctor-who-dolls","tag-faceups","tag-thirteenth-doctor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12734"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12738,"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12734\/revisions\/12738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
