Riffing off German expressionism is just the frosting on the cake.

Yes, yes, the jaw! I forgot to mention that, but you’re right that I’m summoning Bowie (or Walken) rather than Douglas. Good eye you’ve got there.

This Ashley Wood? (http://ashleywoodartist.com/) Nope, that wouldn’t be easy — but certainly worthwhile!

I think the problem might not be so much in the details (the eyes or pursed lips) as in the bigger generalities – the sketch on the blog has an almost vulpine look, like David Bowie or Christopher Walken, while the Frazetta original has a more blue collar “lantern jaw” like Kirk Douglas or Cliff Steele.
