Just a quick note to let folks reading via RSS that the last of the four Halloween headers for the site just went live. I’ll probably leave this one up through the 31st seeing as I don’t really have a fifth header to work with.
Not much else going on at the moment.

BT: Cthulhu Les . . . ooooohhhh!
Reminds me a little of Bill Nighy’s make-up in Dead Man’s Chest.
Oooo. Header updated again. Damn, next year I’ll have more images than weeks to show them all in.
BT, these are AWESOME.
next year I’ll have more images than weeks to show them all in.
Didn’t you hear? Congress got bored with that war thingie, so they held a special session to combine September and October. Septober is eight weeks next year.

I love the cthulu one, and my fiancee would be squealing her head off right now if she saw it, as well as Paul smiling like the elegant charisma fiend he can be he can be.

Thanks, DOF! LJ is correct, the pic I used is a much larger version of this one, from Dead Man’s Chest:
All that really needed to be done was to flip the image, plop Les’ face in, desaturate, colorize, blend it in, add some texture to his head, and add a background. Instant Cthulhu in 20 minutes or less!
here’s another silly one, same steps:
Dang it, I appeared to have missed seeing some of the fancy Halloween headers. Any chance of a post with links to them all?
Oh my! I damn near fell out of my chair at the YodLes image.
Manzabar, I’ll create an entry with links to each of the headers in a little bit.

Please, please, please, please, please make one up of Les as a Smurf! He would truly be speechless! *GRIN*

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Beau Tochs: do you do this for living? Because each one of these looks amazing.
I also had some other ideas:

Webs, I push pixels AND vertices around for a living, but I have far more experience in the latter than the former. Thanks for thinking that stuff looks good, but it’s really just the frustrated droppings of someone who wishes he was much better at it than he really is.
For instance, I could have used masks to fade out the backgrounds and make them blend in nicely with Les’ site, but when I do these pics I’m generally in a hurry to bang ‘em out - and they look it. The ideas I have in my head rarely become pixels, and if they ever do, believe me, it’s by accident! 
If I ever figure out how to do Flash or Fireworks, I’d REALLY love to give Les some headers he could proud of . . . the “MindLes” image would look INCREDIBLE if could animate the lobes and have them writhing and pulsing under the skin of his enormous head . . . or how about some blood dripping off the fangs of “Lesferatu” as his skin gets some color back due to his ghastly feast? What about a “Jekyll-and-Hyde” Les that transforms every minute or so?
Until I can make these mental images I have a reality, I’m afraid I’ll always be just a hack.
But I’ll keep trying!
