REQUEST: advice: Roswell incident pics

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 Ben 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. ,-----, ,-----, / \ / \ \`:. .:'/ \`:. .:'/ \ " / \ / \_=_/ `-_-' ,sssss, ,sssss, /$$$$$$$\ /$$$$$$$\ \, `$' ,/ \, `$' ,/ \$$"$$/ \$$$$$/ \$$$/ `$$$'

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...

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....
