Knowing what's canon with Thomas Hewitt's real face
_____________________________

This is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Andrew Bryanowski Leatherface makeup bust replica production material. That's a mouthful. Apparently, this is what Thomas is supposed to look like under the mask, which makes sense but also dosen’t. Thomas was known for cutting his rotting flesh away, so it's understandable to at least see some degree that there are scars there, but other than that, I just see veiny rotting flesh.
To be fair, though, the prequel wasn't considered to be made during the production. Marcus Nispel was only planning on making a single remake. Which was why, later on, the director and writers changed. It only was after fans demanded an anathor film. They wanted to see more of the family, understanding how they ended up like this, how different they are from the Sawyers, and also how some events occurred. Like Monty losing his legs, for example. The point is that Thomas's scars and disease spreading have always been inconsistent between the 2003 version and the 2006 film.

Young Thomas is a good example of this, and although some of the major scars, like his nose being affected and then later on, cut off, are accurate. The rest just dosen’t add up to the bust replica. It's even more confusing when you recall that this photo existed in the 2003 remake. It has always been there. This was a photo that Erin had touched and picked up, it is also seen in the menu screen if you paid attention to the details.

So either this was a last-minute change, or they didn't like how the final product looked once Andrew was supposed to have it like child Thomas, so they tried to hide this mistake by never actually showing Leatherface fully visible when he was unmasking himself in the dark. It could be that the bust replica was just a concept art, too. Who knows, I'm just throwing theories out there. I think it's interesting, though, to mention this, not just because of film errors, but for the reason that knowing what's canon or not. None of them is wrong, but they do clash with each other, so at the end of the day, it's all about preferences, really.
If you have any thoughts regarding this post or want to mention something that I could have potentially missed. You're more than welcome to comment about them, I'd love to read your thoughts concerning this topic.

bruh I got distracted while drawing this and forgot I had a pot of boiled peanuts heating on my stove.. I've never ran faster than when it boiled over and filled my kitchen up with smoke 😭 can't trust me with anything y'all istg
I’ve never posted before but I saw this post and just had to say it-
I believe the very prominent difference between Thomas in the 2006 movie compared to the 2003 movie was written SO well.
He is physically and mentally rotting. His nose has completely rotted off of his face, and idk if anyone else noticed this but he’s wearing the exact same clothes as the 2006 movie, and they don’t appear to have been washed (which means that’s almost 4 years of blood and gore buildup 🤢).
As for his mental state, in the prequel he is completely silent, very shy and reserved. And 4 years later, he’s very vocal, he has a lot of personality, he’s so much crueler and more dedicated to his work. I believe this could either be due to his mental condition (mental deterioration) or the sheer amount of trauma he has, from both his childhood, the bullying and isolation, and in adulthood, the constant murder and violence. That has to change a person drastically. Or both. And the fact that that’s reflected on his appearance is a great plot point in my opinion.
Ik no one will see this but had to say my piece lol
Is it just me or does maskless Tommy in tcm 2003 just. Not look like Tommy.
Here, walk with me.
Here we have Thomas. Beautiful Thomas. Long wavy hair, thick arms, wide chest, comfy, pillow-perfect tummy, intense, soul shaking eyes, drop dead gorgeous--
I digress. He's the man we all know and love.
This. Does not look like Thomas. Not really. Not compared to some of the art interpretations I've seen. It just doesn't fit. Something doesn't add up.
Even if you cover the lower part of his face it just doesn't look like him. The eyes just don't really add up.
And I thought I had other picture with a different angle, but apparently I didn't save it. But if you rewatch this scene they committed a crime on this man's hairline. God awful lies.
Idk the artists handles so I won't add some of the art I have saved of him maskless, but if you just look it up you'll see what I mean.
This just doesn't look like Tommy!!!!
