    Hmmm... I was just trying out this concept. Would like to hear a few more opinions before I go ahead with it. This won't be my entry since it is not a fresh image. I'm simply trying the idea out and also checking to see if my post work is worth entering.

    Hopefully I can do it again! Laughing.gif

    Thanks.

    I think it is easier to read your expression on the second one. The first just looks wierd.

    I would like the last one better if you got rid of the chin lines on the new forehead... the ultimate "double chin" takes away from what I see as a brilliant idea, otherwise.

    I like it. I would try to refine the blending between the chin and forehead. The transition looks blurred.

    I like your final one overall, but the PP of the head on the second one much better. The 'forehead' of the final result feels off.

    Still, disturbingly wonderful!!

    If I tell you I like it, will you promise not to try to do an "Inside Out" one?!?

    Thanks guys.. I was pretty tired last night and my contacts were bothering me. I woke up this morning and looked at the picture and I completely agree with you, the forehead looks terrible.

    I had a little time this morning before heading out to the office to work on it some more. Here is the new version...

    Did I get it this time or does it still need work?

    Way COOL! Thanks. You know, its funny because I thought the previous version looked good last night. Then this morning I woke up to check this thread, I immediate impression is that it looked horrible. The blending on the forehead was really bad. With a pair of fresh eyes I was able to get it right.

    I just hope this isn't too disturbing for the judges!! :D:D

    Thanks Allen. Yeah... the first couple were just quickies playing around with the concept and testing if my shop skills were even good enough to pull it off. The last one I am really happy with... honestly, I didn't think I'd be able to get it that good.
