Do you think anyone would be interested in an unusual icon set like this?

They're a bit creepy, bacause the realism and the way you have cut them out at the neck makes them look like severed heads.

I do think they are really well done, though. There is definitely potential for such an idea. I don't recall seeing such an iconset for a while. I think they should be famous people for anyone to be interested in using them. You could do themed sets - maybe starting with horror movie actors (Christopher Lee et al). Heaven knows know what gives me that idea!

It might be hard to get consistency of angle, perspective and lighting like this though.

P.S, It's so great to have you back, DT! You changed my Mac life back in the classic days and you've been missed ever since. It seems you are back with a vengeance, more prolific than ever and producing some really good stuff. Keep up the good work, man!

really really creepy... the longer I looked at them the stranger they felt...

turn some of them so they look into the center of the screen. Then they can kind of look at things on the Desktop - or at each other! hahaha

very cool
