  • Genius. However, the fact you used a hair that doesn't fit right with the reference. Was that because you were trying to capture his obscenely big forehead? If so i think this should have come in first. Honor one of the best grotesque poetics to have ever lived. The whoel "pendulum" thing, came from this man>>
    Though it would have been a lot better with thicker eyebrows. Congrats
