I finished it, then stepped back and blinked and the image popped out. Fantastic!

Thanks for comments -- and David, believe me, if you'd tried doing what you said, you'd realize that it never works without helping it out more than a little!

nice puzzle Josh

actually, out of curiosity i took your reference image and cropped it to what you show, hit scale to 36x36 and boosted the contrast to 100 and it was eerily similar...it slightly flattened his head/hair and messed up the outer cheek, the upper near-side of the lip and the ear in the exact same places as your's. actually the only real difference was that the largest of the reflections in the sunglasses is missing. i was attempting constructive criticism, but i think it has come off wrong. it is a nice puzzle, i was just thinking to myself that someone with your sense of composition and technical ability could probably touch it up a little and it would be next level. it's good though.

took me a while to see it after I was done, but once my eyes adjusted, I must say, excellent!

I saw a COMPLETELY different image - a huge furry creature (feet and legs bottom right, 2 beady eyes, his right arm is holding a tapered weapon aloft, blotchy panda-patterned spot on his barrel chest).

Then I saw Stevie.

I'm not sure which one I like better!

I like your stick monster, Bill. ^_^ (as in, holding a stick)
#15: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Sep 21, 2022
Thanks Kristen. And I hate to admit that only just now did I tie in the title!

I saw (see) what Bill describes in comment #13. I don't think I know Stevie...so I'll do a little research.

*slapping myself* Of course I know Stevie...and I missed the play on words. I was being too literal. Once I knew for whom I was looking he totally popped! Verrrrry NICE!
