Hah! This is absolutely perfect! He certainly looks regal in all his plumpness from this perspective. What a great photograph:>

i couldn't think of anything fat without hurting the feelings of a lot of people and then i remembered him sitting atop the bookcase... and he absolutely loves all that attention...... :)

Ha! This is great! I actually started to sketch the Michelin guy, but I wasn't happy with the initial results. Very cool.

@Twisselman: Michelin man seems easier than he is.. :)

@Chuang Shyue Chou: he's been sitting on top of my book case for years, i took him of, made some photos, played a bit with gimp and presto! :)

VFM4, great choice of subject and pic! The Michelin man - what *is* his name? - has slimmed up a bit in recently years, but this captures him in all his classic three-quarter backlit glory. Actually, he looks a bit Muppetesque - like he might be going to introduce Monsterpiece Theater :).

The Michelin man's name *is* Bibendum, :)

Ahh... your skill with GIMP is nice. You made him looked both 'artificial' and yet.. I can't describe it.
