Default Face Decals & Leather Helmets

Here is my umpteenth attempt at face decals. They are a tough thing to pull off so please don't anyone ask me to make them as I've spent countless hours trying to get to this and I'm still not satisfied.

Here is a Brett Favre in an ACME Packers jersey, complete with a Chris Fields leather helmet (they're awesome...I'd suggest them for anyone who wants a retro look). I didn't glue the helmet yet...that will make it look even better.

If you ever are playing around with face decals, some suggestions:

- Reduce the amount of colors in the image so that it looks more posterized. Will make it blend in easier with the paint

- Fill in the face with putty, etc so it is smooth. Decals need a smooth surface.

- Somewhat flatten the face so that the 2D image can try to look at least somewhat 3D
