Thank you for letting me know what you think. I totally admit he looks younger. Actually it's almost inevitable for me, because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to draw major character on the show and make her/him look like their own age. It's very interesting that you mentioned the distance between his eyes is too far, because I know I have a bad habit of drawing them too far away, and I actually redrew it to make it shorter in this particular picture. Maybe it wasn't enough. *g*

The reason it's interesting to me is that this is exactly how the young Rodney in my head looks. I can't imagine a young Rodney who looks anything like a young Hewlett, but this is him.
I'm taking that as a huge compliment. I'm thrilled.
