Default An illusion inspired by the face on mars BS

This is something of a demonstration of how the human mind picks out things to try to create order. Of course, we're especially sensitive to faces, because we're wired that way. We all know about the "mars face" which does... kinda look a bit like a face until you see the better quality images

I noticed something the other night that I think many of us are familiar with as a commonly described "Face" It caught my attention until I actually looked (as opposed to seeing as a glance) when I looked more directly I saw nothing.

So here's my animation starting out blurred and with less gradient variance.

Tell me what you think because I may refine this to be a bit smoother and more polished and submit it in an illusion competition next year...

I figured this was up the ally of BA because of what Richard Hoagland has been claiming and whatnot...

Nice. As I wrote in a song:
"Those creeps are broke, it's not much fun
And songs backwards they run
Hoping messages to hear
Listen, wackos, loud and clear:
Pareidolia, Efila Teg!"
