Post Challenge:
Well, my first DQ (and hopefully my last). I was nailed for the teeth and the background. I knew I was pushing the envelope with the teeth, but thought I used legal tools/methods to achieve the look. The background surprised me, because it was really just a black cloth that I darkened. Anyway, I learned a few things and that's the point, right? Now to go collect on my bet... ;-P

Did you borrow a set of the Mullins' teeth for this one? Can't wait for our next town Ghost Walk. Great sense of humor...sorry it got disqualified, but glad you had fun. LOL as I ROFL! MMM
Good Lord... this makes me glad I don't have young children looking over my shoulder... sure would scare the bejeesus out of em.
I do like it, although I do have a problem with what I believe is your attempt at doctoring the background, witness the white line above the left shoulder and adjacent to the right cheek bone area.
Holy Cow, a glow-in-the-dark alien??!! I'll blame my nightmares on you for the next 6 months, at least.
So did you win the bet, or was this the payment for losing one?
