Actually I spent like a day on the eyes and still I think he looks kind of either sad or drugged. I tried putting them closer together, but then he looked really unattractive (closer together eyes, while acceptable on a man, are disastrous in a female face) so I compromised in order to make her look something like John but still beautiful. For the John features I used This picture from beaniesheppard the slant is there, if not really as pronounces as in other pictures, I kept the line of the upper eye, but couldn't get the wrinkles in without making her look like an alien monster. Same thing with the mouth, what actually happened is that John's mouth is not only fuller, but *bigger* so if I sized it to fit horizontally, it was actually less full that Jill's vertically, and if fit vertically she looked like the Joker. I still have to keep working on my manipping technique, but it's encouraging that you noticed the same things I wasn't entirely satisfied with and where I compromised. Thanks a lot for taking the time.
