I've been messing around trying to produce a short (5-6 lines) picture of
an alien face (as seen in various pieces of (fake) footage of aliens
from the Roswell incident.) for my sig file... I was wondering if anyone
had any ideas on how to improve on the ones I've come up with, or could 
come up with a better one.

			Thanks, in advance

So far I've done a couple of filled in "faces" and a couple of outlines,
with variations like adding a nose and changing the lines used for the
chin.

Here's one I did ages ago...It's not exactly like the one from *that*
footage, but still reminiscent of a 'grey'

I like it.... I couldn't find a convincing way of putting a mouth 
properly onto mine, which makes the picture below a bit pointless...
The pint glasses don't seem right yet either...

The glasses look ok to me...but it's hard to make out what the thing
on the bottom-right is ... the body looks strange too...I thought I
might try and define the arms a bit more and make him look more like 
he's serving a pint...hope you don't mind.. :)

So does this look any better?

Hope this helps,

The thing at the bottom right was suppossed to be a tap, but I'm still
messing round trying to improve on it. I've even tried different fonts,
but I haven't really got anywhere.  I was origionally trying to give the
veiwpoint of the barman, but it just didn't work... There's the current
tap anyhow. Oh well, back to finding a good solid object to bang my head
against, but in the meantime, here's someone who rates at least four and a
half chainsaws in the good psycho guide....
