You can see the pupils in the larger version. But that's 7 MB!

It's some sort of funky space muppet?!?

Cool.

It does look cool but the lips look weird. Is that animated fractals?

Even if it's fractal art blended with a few photoshops, that **** is still ****ing ill. I love how dark, cuddly, frightening, and quirky it is all at the same time.

It's just me nailing a whole bunch of programs together!

Here's a very rough "Making Of" scenario:

I made a fractal in Chaoscope (http://www.chaoscope.org) - Thus:

Then I fed it into Mutatorkammer (a fractal generator capable of using Images as "Color Maps") (http://www.fractalmovies.com) and got this:

Which I then used to "Skin" a 3D Head in 3D Studio (http://www.daz3d.com). That's where the animation is set too.

I made the eyes in an image editor (I reject photoshop!) (I found "Photo Studio" from, Pinnacle for $1.00!!! (photoshop is just TOO expensive!!)

Setting the original image as the background completes the illusion.

The animation came out as hundreds of images - compiled in VirtualDub to an uncompressed avi.

AVI Video is not web friendly, so I converted the video to a format that my gif editor can open and made an image.

This is a new trick for me, so expect improvements as time goes on...

I have no idea what I'm doing or how I got this...

But it was a Fun waste of an hour!
