The hair is wrong, too: It’s too stiff.

Naah, looks about right to me. I can tell from the [del]pixels[/del] texture and having seen a lot of [del]shops[/del] lions in my time…

I couldn’t tell for sure, so I just said cgi as a convenient label that folks could probably use to correctly identify the pic I was referencing. That seems to have worked, at least in your case.

I agree the eyes are what’s most ghastly about it. The rest is OK by comparison.

I think you’re right about the eyes. But it didn’t look creepy to me; just very sad.
