LOL! Holy crap I'm glad I got that right! See, in the planning of this I vaguely recalled what he looked like as a drawing and wasn't quite sure if they were antlers or... lightning bolts coming out of his head... I'd even gone so far as to find a few reference pictures of forked lightning in the beginning. So glad I went with my gut feeling instead of my crazy imagination >.>

(I'd honestly went so far as to thinking that /I/ had assumed they were antlers and had taken it for granted that they might have been lightning bolts and gee, I'm soooo inconsiderate! How could I not have thought they might have been lighting??? ><)

Hehehee, yeah my brain is odd.

But in all reality I can't take all the credit. I actually took two images from the internet and stitched them together!

It did take a bit to maneuver everything into place: For one, the human skull had diagram lines all over it and I had to erase them all and refill all the detail that got lost in the erasing process. Also, the original skull still had its jaw, so I erased that and had to moved the "shadows" back in. Then came the antlers, which I pilfered from an elk. I had to separate the left and right rack so that I could place them on this skull realistically (and you can't really tell, thankfully, but the two pics were of slightly different quality, so I had to adjust levels and such in order to make the two images stitch well).

Also, Please send me a pic of the original Zolac. I wanna see if I can stylize it.
