Cool, I used to do a lot of work in photoshop.

Is that skull from an archaeological dig? It looks a little unusual. For some reason the holes below the eyes are much larger than normal.

The next thing I would do is lasso closer on the left side, and fix the slight blend issues on the right. The top is very clean. The 'eyes also do not totally match the background, I suppose that's up to you if you like it that way or not. Stylistically I probably would not have used the same galaxy in the background as in the eyes, but rather just the night sky.

yes, yes, I agree, I fixed it up a bit, and added a plain black background. Then I made the eyes glow for the hell of it.

all in all, I think it looks much better:

That's pretty sweet...kinda reminds me of this guy...



btw if you mess with the detailed stamp/brush settings (flow, distribution, size difference, angle difference) you can make a decent looking star field for the background in like 20 seconds...

Yeah, stars would still look cool in the background. But yeah, it's looking better!

Dudeist: Have you been to the Church of Sacred Mirrors? I actually have not, but I have a friend who has been there many times. I plan on going one of these days.

I just thought of a hilarious way to throw Atoz in the TP's picture, but I don't have photoshop.

The same thing occurred to me yesterday. I was hoping no one else would think of it.
