Ronaldo bust do-over

[typefitter]

I thought this was really well done (both by the sculptor and Bleacher Report). Kind of envious that they did it. But I think, amidst a few recent threads about creativity and the value of work, that it's worth watching for a lot of people here.

If only @YankeeFan were here to tell us how they could have just taken a really good painter and had him do it.

Whenever I see that bust, I'm reminded of the great "College" episode of The Sopranos, where Tony confirms that the guy that he sees is Febby Petrulio by his awful sculptures. Christopher delivers the awesome line about the Frank Sinatra bust "That was Frank? I always thought it was Shaquille. ****er needs to practice a little on lips".

I honestly think the original's mistake is his attempt to show teeth. That's really hard for any sculptor apparently. If he puts the new sculpture's hair on the original, so he looks less like a Muppet, and closes his mouth, it's not too bad.

That bust looks like if one of the Easter Island heads were made into a Chia pet.

I'm kind of amazed you've heard of Lionel Richie. He's a little contemporary for you, isn't he?

C'mon, man! At least TRY to keep up.

Looks more like Babe Ruth.

Someone on Twitter said it looked like Rex Ryan.

Mickey Rooney was another guess.
