What do you guys think of the photo on the link below.

Its supposedly the severed head of a reptilian :alien: . The people in the photo dont look the sort to have an extensive prop studio to hand!

The head was recovered from a hunting trip.

(Photo is mildly graphic)
Reptilian severed head photo

Your right, doesnt look like they would be able to afford a prop studio or any kind of special/computer effects, but that doesnt mean some one didnt doctor or give theo people a made head of a reptile person. However, looks pretty scarry and real to me, but then again I am a n00b.

well if there is a head, then there has to be a body somewhere...

Creepy. Wonder what the story is there.

I am certain i have seen the head before in a sci-fi movie, just can't for the life of me remember which movie it was, don't be fooled its a man made film prop.

Seen the halloween masks they make these days..They'd make snow white look evil....
Can't for the life of me think why..but I just don't think it's real...more evidence needed.... Like Arsenic said...wheres the body?................. :devil:

Eeeewwww! Pretty gross. Looks real to me, could be real. As far as the prop for the movie, were would this guy get the prop used in some movie? He doesn't look like he's in the movie business. A lay person couldn't make a real looking special effects prop like that even using a halloween mask.

Sorry guys but this is not real. Well, atleast its not a real creatures head or anything. Its art. Charlie White's In a Matter of Days

Here is the link to the press release.

From the above link:

Goya utilized grotesque, monstrous creatures in his work as phantasms of moral savagery. The monsters in White’s images read both as literal/naturalistic in the context of LA/horror cinema, and as phantasmic symbols of social decline. Looking as if they’ve happened on Los Angeles by accident, the monsters in these images (created by Hollywood effects artist Jordu Schell) seem almost as panic stricken as their human victims.

White fashions his characters, blandly recognizable from television or other pre-formed notions of Los Angeles, as blank figures who come alive only in constructed “theme” environments. By creating an overall narrative and introducing monsters straight out of special effects cinema, a further degree of artificiality is introduced into a world which already reads as fake, thus allowing these characters and places to be scrutinized in a state of suspended animation. Each photo is titled after a subdivision of LA’s vast and varied yet familiar terrain, and each is held to a 2:1 aspect ratio, suggesting the composition of both landscape and movie screen.

There is another picture in their images section from him, click the link below.

I like his art work..he is a very interesting artist.

Good one andpau66, i feel a bit safer now

lol

Nothing to worry about

It looked vaguely familiar to me too. Seems like a prop guy was on vacation having a bit of fun. Its unfortunate that with technology the way it is these days a picture can't be used as total proof anymore.

Interesting though...

KorMan, posting the links to the same place explaining it that I did really doesn't do much.. ha

I linked to the specific page with the full-sized image, rather than to the site. It's called refining the search. Live with it.

Freaky, it looks like some kind of creature, but is it really an alien?

Nope. It's "art".

Oh, it looked real to me, but at least we know that it is not real now.

Just goes to show the task facing reserchers, looked real enough to be an anomaly to me, before the other guy said it was art. Is there a person on this planet who can tell 100% a fake from the real thing? Very high quality special effect for a piece of art, no ameteur! I think. I wanna see the real thing though! :cry:

I smell Photoshop as well as prop here. I do recall having seen this picture before and it having been debunked however I took the liberty of blowing up the picture and I can see a little variation in the photo that does not match the unified pixel count, especially around the left side of the head (there is a bend in the chain link fence) good attempt though.

The jaw doesn't look right either the way the lower jaw is hanging would suggest that there should be a bulge somewhere near the guys left thumb where the jaw hinge would be, also the upper row of teath have a flowing drapes look about them. I would bet that the model doesn't have an underlying skellington.
