waaaaaaaaaa waaaa waaaa
good job though, wanna know how u did the eyes

[Serrator]

Thanks guys for the fun challenge!! I had never really tried to do a scary makeover but I enjoyed trying it out. Thanks Jezebel for the great source pics to work with.

Toad/Patty...for the eyes best I can recall I first used the Liquefy filter with the bloat brush too enlarge the eyes just slightly...to give them a more bug-eyed look. Next I just isolated the eyeball portions and filled with black. Then I came back and added in the catchlights to give the eyes some roundness as well as adding in a hint of coloring in the eyes. Hope this helps...if not let me know.

Have a Happy Halloween!
