If the eyes were focused on the same place it would look good. So I'd say no unless he fixes that one glaring detail

Maybe for back in the 20s and 30s but mounts are so much better than this today.

I've seen better and I've seen worse (you can buy a lot of cat food for $800 bucks which is a Canadian joke I think)
