Title: 2 ugly points
Post by: madcrow on May 02, 2012, 11:03:34 pm

I made these last weekend.  Does anybody see anything odd about the obsidian point?

Is it just my system? I do not see any points or a link?

I fixed it.  I was going to knock the hinge out of the rootbeer, but that would have take out most of the white.  I decided to leave it alone.

It seems to me the middle flake scare looks like a skull. ???

     A skull looking to the right, or if you look directly at it, in the center, sorta looks like Jabba the Hut, with a storm troopers hat. ::)  Nothing ugly about those points at all!

When I first looked at it, I saw the outline of a person standing, frontal profile. After reading the other post, I do see the skull looking off to the right. I also see that ugly is in the eye of the beholder and I must not beholding cause I don't think they are ugly.

I see the skull after you guys mentioned it, but after looking longer I see an image of an Indian looking right with white feathers hanging behind.......or am I just wanting to see it?

They look good to me

Is the Indian crying? Just kidding.

I saw a cat's face, half in shadow, with very high contrast.

Now that I look again, I totally see the Predator in the top arrowhead. The shape is very skull and Indian-like.
