Another thing, I now find my self realizing if his looks before and after resurrection are completely transformed [I do expect all of us to be recognizable to other fellow believers but completely transformed, sanctified and perfected but uniquely and Godly - in every way upon death and resurrection] - so wouldn’t that apply all the more for Jesus earthly image of either average or lesser appeal before to one as perfected like the little girl drew. If ‘the eyes be the windows to the soul’ then Jesus eyes would be truly beautiful, unique and dazzling beyond description.

Also if God offered to ‘take your picture’ - would you want it to be before or after a similar bodily resurrection?

Just thinking out loud but also I don’t think anyone should consider this image a violation of the 2nd commandment - man didn’t create it and it is an abstract image of the Christ not God [the 1st person of the trinity]...

Interesting that you say that because when I had that dream that Jesus was talking to me, the image of His face was what I recall when I woke up and the thing I remember the most was His eyes and how compassionate they were.
