A staff, The Inquisitor, or a vorpal blade would also work.

Man, that brings back memories!!!
My first graphics art program was DPaint2 for my old Amiga. I spent hours on end playing around with that program.

Haha, that's so cool!
I am really impressed over how much stuff they where able to do! I guess that program inspired the whole computer graphics industry :)

Yup. The Amiga was the go-to system for computer graphics in the late 80's and early 90's. In fact, the TV series Babylon 5 had all it's special effects done on the Amiga.

i remember painting a dungeon crawler interface with DPaint (that was ST version, 16 colors), quite close to Ishar's. I never used it at all and lost everything into floppies :(

^^ Yeah, I've seen those before. To be honest, the artist should blend the faces in better because the 'popping out' effect that is used just makes it look like an unfinished job. Look at Will Smith: it just looks like it's been pasted on over the top. The only really good one is Frank Zappa.

Those were interesting. I agree with gambit though, some of the faces just pop out too much, IMO more time needed to be spent in blending them in better, by matching the colour tones of the faces to the rest of the photos and making sure the faces line up better.

I take it from that comment in the link that breaking down in that area's pretty common.

That's the main point you took away from that story? A common point to break down? It's A TIE FIGHTER!!! :-D

And in a totally unrelated but related story, here's a FULL SCALE 1:1 X-WING made out of Lego!

"Get lucky" remixed for each 20th century decade ! http://youtu.be/3r3BOZ6QQtU
At the end, the composer proposes people to make their own clip for each decade.

Reggie Watts is my new idol (I know, I'm 36, but whatever). This guy looks like they put several genius into one body.
