It looks on par with the mapping techniques that were used for the PC game "Star Trek Bridge Commander". For the time, that still looks pretty good, bro.
I get what you mean though....the picture that you took Starbuck's image from was still a sort of 3/4 angle headshot of him, so the alignment would be wacky. A more straight-on face shot would've served better, but I don't think any such shot exists.
Whenever I map an actor's/actresses' face onto an iClone character I make, I always try to go for a straight on head shot. Or if one is not available, then as close to straight on as possible. iClone has some alignment procedures that allows me to take a face shot that is slightly off axis, and adjust it so that it does look a little more straight on.
