    To me, the current expression reads as more neutral rather than stern
    I feel like its a pretty faithful adaptation
    But that's the point. I don't try to argue anything objective here. If you want a more objective comparison of the features I've done that here.

    The point is to illustrate how I perceive my character and how I perceive those changes and why for some people changing the face does result in that impression of "wow, that's someone else". I accept that other people don't think the changes are big but the whole purpose of those images was to showcase how different people perceive the changes differently.

    As I said in my op, I actively exaggerated the features.
    The idea was, if someone asked me to draw stylised versions of the screenshots (e.g., as a character commission) how would I interpret them? And that is how I would do it. Because this is how I perceive their personality.
    The screenshots themselves are more subtle. The job of stylisation is exaggeration (or a form of caricature if you will) to bring out the essence of their personality I perceive.

    I'm sorry I have used the word perceive a gazillion times in this post but that is really what it boils down to.
    Small objective changes are indisputably there (the mouth is very different for example).
    For you and other people those small (objectively existing) changes don't alter how they perceive the character. That is fine and fair.
    But please understand that for other people this effect is there. Neither of us is wrong when it comes to subjective perception.
