My secret super power strikes again: guessing wrong on a 50:50 chance with nearly 100% accuracy! 
Obviously the original is a strong clue, but I got fooled by the background that just shows a little blue at the top. And also thought that when grabbing your head, you’d rather tilt your head towards the hand, but here it seems slightly towards the viewer, which feels more like a look of reproach.
Ah well I basically just painted a flat color over the dark spots because it distracted me too much…no special skills at work here… 
I can hardly deny that I like to paint over other people’s artwork when something looks unexpected. No one is safe, not even book authors 
We can give it a try, but I’d appreciate if you define some starting point, like which kind of character doing what kind of action. Committing myself to one of my own ideas is usually the hardest part for me (because I usually just have a fuzzy image in my head that might not actually work as intended)
