Thanks Carolyn, for the comments and praise. Feels like we're in the twilight zone down here. I may have been carried away by the drama of the folds of the fabric in that area. Or maybe trying to indicate the seam line in the sleeve. I had problems, there as I decreased the size of Tom's belly (per his request), so was making up what the fabric would have done. I tried to envision him 10lbs lighter, all in the tummy roll! He asked me to tame his hair down too, but I REFUSED. Other than that, it looks just like him. I must have deleted my reference photo but could post another from that same day if you're interested.
