Added mascara?
I think it might be difficult to show the eyelash edit you did, to such a small pic of the sculpt like that, & make it look natural, while trying to get your point across. Done right, peeps might not even notice a difference at that distance. Even to a full blown close up pic of the sculpt, it might only need a subtle touch to the eyelash area.No worries, a fair call.
I exaggerated the effect because sometimes the subtle mods won't show up in online pics as they would on the piece in hand.
I've now lessened the effect in the pic but it's still there.
At any rate, just adding even very subtle shading / lashes improves the likeness on this IMO.
The production eyes appear to have nothing and it creates a bit of that cartoony look.
I think out of the box the statue is looking like a toy - not helped by the paint apps and decals.
I feel these mods, some of them minor, bring it to another level of accuracy and realism.
Not for everyone, but doing these visual mods has helped me see the potential in a piece I have been very disillusioned about.
