Yeah, I don't think that being picky about how you're depicted by an artist necessarily makes you a dick. Especially if you're a hard to draw guy like Bakula.That seems very odd. I've always heard tales of how nice a guy Bakula is (to co-stars and fans alike), so it's weird to hear that he could be such a dick in matters like this.
I recently interviewed comic book artist Jerry Ordway about his work on the comic book adaptation of the 1989 Batman movie. To avoid likeness rights approvals wreaking havoc with the deadlines, Ordway did model sheet pieces of Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger, and Jack Nicholson (as both Jack Napier and the Joker) for the actors' approval before he started drawing individual story pages. The editor, Jonathan Peterson, had learned from working on DC's Star Trek comics that likeness approvals from the actors can really hold up the process.
