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:

And here is the same inverted picture, but cropped:

holy crap, that's amazing... and yet one for the medical books for the most obvious symptom of OCD.
No, really. That's pretty cool.

Much more difficult and unique than creating images from a top view.
Very Dali-esque for sure.
