Wonderfully put, and exactly what I was going for. I'm glad it came across. Thanks for the lovely critique!

Yeah, I know the feeling, I occasionally handsomeify people as well. Of course, most of the people I draw don't actually need it.

Thank you so much for this lovely and thoughtful reply. It's always very flattering when someone takes the time to write something like this.

As for the neck and nose, this is actually referenced rather closely from a picture. Were I to draw without reference, his neck would definitely be thinner and the nose longer, but it's part of making him look, well, like himself. Also I think the fact his head is slightly tilted downwards makes his neck look thick, or his jaw/chin look short, and I preferred him to be looking down/thoughtful, rather than look up/alert/proud.

Again, thank you for all the praise and thought.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I did absolutely use lots and LOTS of reference from screencaps.

You have a great username.
