I think they should be friends ✨ so i make them drink tea together (epsilon is pretending?)

I love them so much, they so dear to me im sobbing!

Japanese Jesús and Australian Mary 🙏

It's not perfect but I tried, kept the heart bc I thought it was cute, but got rid of the rest of the random lines bc I don't get why they were there in the first place. They don't even line up with any actual articulation points or anything.

In the original, he's smiling but doesn't have any skin crease under his eye, so the smile doesn't read as "I'm a friendly fellow who's glad to see you!" it comes across more as "I am about to bite you😀 "

All of his iris and pupil are visible which almost always looks creepy bc you only ever have a completely unobscured eye if you're pulling a surprised/scared or really angry expression. His eye closest to the camera is also slightly too small and looking in the wrong direction so he looks really vacant and like he's not actually "seeing" anything, just staring blankly. He also didn't seem to have an eyelid of any kind. like a crease just above the visible eye where the eyeball is lying under the skin and makes a slight lump, without it his face looks really flat and weird.

I gave him a tad more nose bridge just because his nose is so tiny that on a 3d model under any bright light it just completely vanishes (I speak from experience, my nose is dumb and tiny and I have so many slightly overexposed photos where I look like a noseless monster bc of it) Also, i get that his eyes are meant to look like camera lenses, which is a very cool idea in theory but in practice looks REALLY creepy to have his whole eye like that, I could see it working if it was just his pupil (03 kinda does this in close-ups when he scans stuff) but having that texture on the iris too just looks grim. not to mention that it'd be a massive robot giveaway that would mess with the whole secret identity thing they're planning.

Got rid of his individual teeth and turned them into just one white slab bc they p much always look horrifying on cartoon characters and this is no exception. And lastly, I smoothed out the weird dent in his hair because I don't get why it's there in the first place, it looks like he was dropped on the head.
