Well *obviously* these are intended to represent the three main 
characters from Ctrl+Alt+Del. From this point of view, the truly 
astonishing thing is that YOU CAN TELL WHO THEY ARE!

To understand why this is a big deal, try the following: Get a 
photograph of somebody you know. Now attempt to draw their face. When 
you're done, see if *anybody* can tell who the hell it's meant to be a 
drawing of. Unless you're a pretty skilled artist, I can virtually 
guarantee nobody will have a clue who you were trying to draw!

And I've just drawn three people, and you can tell who is who! o_O

Sure, all three images are *loaded* with obvious and elementary errors. 
(What the hell happened to Lucas's hand?! Ethan's head is too big. His 
hair is in the wrong place. Lilah's head is too tall and not wide 
enough. Her fringe is wrong, so is her neck. What happened to her bra 
line? etc.) But even with so many incorrect proportions, they are all 
*recognisible*. That's astounding!

I didn't even spend *that* long drawing these... about 10 minutes each? 
All the expressions have come out wrong, but the characters at least are 
recognisible. I'm pretty pleased at this point...
