Not bad at all! Is that 28mm or 54? It remains true that most attempts to paint in eyes just look daft. Look at the average gamer’s efforts and you’ll realise that Marty Feldman had an impact that far outweighed his fandom as a comic.
There was a song parody of “Betty Davis Eyes” called “Marty Feldman Eyes”. Not by Weird Al, strangely.
I was going to post it. But when I went to YouTube.... Do you know how many versions there are? And they’re all horrible! Al would have done it much better.
So out of respect for the high standards of good taste on Frothers, for once I’m not doing a drive-by link and running away.
But I shall use “Marty Feldman Eyes” to describe those masterpieces Tango01 digs up.
