That's a bad angle for the face, if you dont mind i'd suggest a different pic with a better angle

One of these might be better, any preference?

i forgot my talents are good when i use ps, im useless at recreating my steps...

Best i can remember is desaturating and then colouring the top and just hueing the main face and rubbing out the jaw on the original to match, plus some lightening and darkening for the correct green

ctrl+u for hue/saturation in ps, just move the hue slider, and it will change, anything in monochrome stays the same colour, so eyes and hair arent affected, then just change the saturation as needed, dont use the light/dark slider, terrible thing.

you're right, it is hard, if you could get another snap of yer housemates on that larger pic on the cover, would make it easier to replace both


edit: or if you have an episode, could just screenshot off vlc...

edit 2: i just read that the comics are marvel, i have like 40 years of marvel, il look thru to see if i can get a nice LARGE pic for it

Hey Blayde,
Have another request for you if you have a few minutes to spare.
Would you be able to take the face from the guy 2nd from the left on the back row (Same guy as the shrek photo!) and stick it on all the players in the photo? got a great laugh from the last one!
Thanks!
Andy

I started it, kinda lazy to push on. Anyone else want to take it from here, feel free. On the last 2 faces, I didn't bother changing the skin tone and brightness and stuff, so you may want to do that.
