tweaked the visor a bit, nothing major

edited a bit, but not much

This is it. Mostly-done, I would say. I might go back and tweak it over time until the contest closes, and I'll be leaving the flatcolored picture up in the contest as well, since it's not as 'messy.' Unless I'm told to take it out. But I saw several people putting up multiple entries when I browsed the competition yesterday, so it -should- be okay... I didn't see any rule against it. It's the same bloody design, anyway.

Didn't count how long this took, but everything was 'hand-drawn' right in Photoshop. *hugs her tablet* Two of the applied filters (Sharpen and Add Noise) were applied after the image was flattened and shrunken. General texture on everything was done with dodge and burn applied to a splatter brush using brush effects like scattering, opacity jitter, and rotation jitter. Basic shading and highlights were done with dodge and burn using smooth brushes. Additional shading was done on two layers (one on Color Burn, and one on Multiply) with a soft airbrush, and additional highlighting was done with a harder round brush on an 'Overlay' layer. Original image set to 300 DPI and messed with a bit, coming to at 3000x3000, 22 crucial layers, 24 total layers.. Just general trivia.

Flat version

Prepare the patients scalp
To peel away
Metal caps his ears
He'll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor
Riveted cross his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws
So no one hears his cries


Went for a snake-ish look because the name "Vic Rattlehead" just makes me think snake. Rattlehead = rattlesnake... Vic = Vic Viper. *BRICK'D*
Yes.... I'm a geek.

I love that you love megadeth, it was unexpected, but i somehow completely expected that. I'm not even suprised anymore.

I wouldn't necessarily say I love them, though I do like some of their music. This was a contest back in the day and the prizes were pretty damn sweet, sweet enough to get me to enter, which is very rare. It's hard to turn down the chance of a free B.C. Rich guitar, which I think was one of the prizes.

Real nice, but I think you should fix the spikes coming out of the goggles. If these really are goggles, this just doesn't look right.

:icondaimera:
They're not really goggles, it's just an ambiguous visor thing bolted to the face. I've been meaning to fix the 'teeth' (they're there to give a snakelike feel) for a while, but I either forget or don't have the inspiration to. x_X

Well i'd say they have to be fixed, since everything else looks great...

Yeah, so far that seems to be garnering the most complaints. I still want the teeth effect, but I think this is a job for "finding a better way to do it."
