I have recently gotten into something of a Scary Elmo debate based off a trip some people I know went on. It's a long story, but it ended with me trying to make a scarier picture of Elmo then they have ever seen before. I was wondering if any of you who have photoshop would be willing to help me in this.
My current picture:

Give him horns, make his left hand rip helpless children apart, and put that annoying staticy swirl intermixed with the green background. You could also have him chew on someone, and maybe give him four more arms to do other nasty things.

FInally, when you're done, stop slipping prozac into my food.

Hey, you weren't supposed to find out about that!
Thanks for all the ideas, I'm working on them now. With your aid, I shall surely win the Scariest Elmo contest.

My answer to making anything scary is to make Michael Jackson involved. Works every time.

I was partway through making Avatara's changes (I think I covered everything but the annoying green blur in the background) but then I was informed by others that the type of scariness I should aim for is more demented than satanic. So, I guess I'm going for the wrong idea here. I'll have to start again. So sad....

Jambo, on the new one maybe I can plant a picture of Michael Jackson in the corner.

How the image is at the latest:

You know, this has kindof turned into an "admire" Azeroth's art topic.

I have to admit, I can't compete with that... for some reason or another, Photoshop refuses to open.
Or should I just scan something?

Just scan it, Pallas. Not only will it give someone else a chance to show off their art displays Posted Image

but apparantly will give µ a big thrill if she gets to watch it.

Not really, the satanic elmo I gave you seems rather demented. Just make him more weird, like add a second head (and make it a totally different color: like purple?) complete with fuzzy orange antlers and such.

You should also add some more very bright, contrasting colour combos. My brain doesn't hurt when I look at him yet.
