Ok you totally have to tell us how you got this picture done. There's an indian mythological character who had 10 heads called Ravana, he had more hair and a crown though :P.

This is an awesome picture let us know!

Thanks! I was trying to make it look like there were faces going all the way around. I know about Ravana, but didn't realize how similar to him this was becoming until I was done with it, so that much was kind of a happy accident.

It wasn't difficult to do in concept, but it took a lot of time. I took 7 pictures with the camera fixed in the same location, and turning my head slightly each time.

Then I just made each of these pictures a different layer in Photoshop. I used the middle one, facing forward, as the main picture, and deleted everything in all the rest except the faces. I lined them all up so that each face overlapped one eye with the face before it.

After that it was just painstaking work using the eraser and the cloning tools to merge and blend everything together into a seamless whole. That part took a few hours to complete.

It was one of those things where you don't realize how cool it looks until you're almost done, and back up to take a look at it from a distance.

This was the most fun I've had making a picture in a while.
