Fan created Halo 3 forged face illusion

Halo 3 forger Rit Dye likes his face. He likes his face so much he decided to do a self portrait of his mug using the forge in Halo 3. And if that sounds like a difficult task then you are correct, because forging the easiest thing to do. But Rit Dye figured he'd take his portrait forging up a difficulty level to legendary by creating his masterpiece not top down like others, but from the side. As you can see in the image above, Rit Dye placed random Halo 3 objects horizontally on Sandtrap's surface creating an optical illusion. The illusion, when viewed from a distance, creates an image. An image of Rit Dye's face. A+ for effort, A+ for execution and A+ for total commitment. Next up, an optical illusion that'll make us better Halo 3 players.

No you don't have to cross your eyes, it's not a 'magic-eye' picture... but it literally took me about 10 minutes to find. Just imagine you're looking AT a person, who is looking slightly to their right. you're going to see the outline of the jaw/cheek (, the lips, and eyes. The person's RIGHT eye is the warthog, the bottom of their chin is the bottom most item (bruteshot?).

This might help some people:

Much more difficult and unique than creating images from a top view.

Very Dali-esque for sure.
