Correcting paintjob on Safari Ltd's 2014 Bowhead Whale

I purchased Safari Ltd's Bowhead whale over the CollectA one because the Safari Ltd figure got the shape of the head more faithfully, and ultimately the bowhead's silhouette is my favorite feature about it. This came at the cost of some distracting eye-rings. So I decided to paint them over black to look more realistic.

The left side looks a bit better than the right side.

Now this figure looks a lot better.

Nice work. Looks like that both CollectA and Safari decided to do their bowhead whales with the tail fluke inclined to a side. I agree the shape of the mouth-position of eyes is much better in the Safari one.
