I intend to play a prank, but to pull it off, I'm looking for a little help from one of the photoshoppically gifted amongst us.
first a little bit of background:
my sister got married a few years ago to a man whose semi-estranged father died in an accident when he was a teenager.
a year or so after the marriage, said man gets a skype contact from a guy who tells him "I'm your father and I'd like to get in touch, catch up etc etc".. a little online inquiry yields that the man had somehow sort of faked his death and been on the run from people he owed money to ever since, eventually building up a new life somewhere else (and a new family, as it turns out).
my brother in law never accepted the skype message and never got in touch with his father, deciding that that part of his life was over.
when I heard about this, I called him on the phone and played the "luke, I'm your father" bit from star wars in the speaker.
much hilarity and laughter... (in fact he almost crashed the car he was driving at the time, because he couldn't stop laughing)..ever since, my brother in law has used the Darth Vader skype image as his skype profile piccy.
now my sister is pregnant and has just come home with her first echo..
the dastardly plan is to have the next echo show a believable darth vader mask on top of the baby..hence Darth Foetus.
(my evil sister is of course my accomplice)
I've had a look around, but I've only ever found "average" echographies where the proud father claims he sees a resemblance with Darth Vader..in a baby that looks more like Stewie Griffin...and I really just want my brother in law to see it right away, if possible..
I am semi-competent with the basics of photoshop but nowhere near as good as I'd have to be to do this myself.
so..is it possible to insert a somehow believable Darth Vader helmet on top of a foetus in an echo?
yes, yes..I'm utterly despicable, but I just know he'll laugh his pants off...which is all we want really, the man could use a laugh now that he's learning what changing nappies is all about.
(let's face it, what good are nephews if you can't use them to prank your brother in law?)
