He got something from my own face actually, male version, of course. I suppose it's because I didn't use references, and I got certain freedom to interpretation, so yeah, when I get that and I get into the character, their faces end up having something of me.
Interesting phenomena, heh.
and thanks, man.
It is an interesting phenomena now that you mention it. It's certainly noted now upon second glance.
Moral of the story: if I were a dude, I would look like Trent, meaning goth chicks would throw themselves at me and I'd get a lot of pus- you get the idea.
I think it happens, because when you're not using refs, your visual library goes to what it knows best: your own face.
