I recently saw an amazing example of forensic reconstruction. A skull had been found, but police were unable to figure out the person's identity. So a forensic artist examined the skull and created an illustration of what the person may have looked like while alive. When the person was finally identified, photos of the person looked strikingly similar to the artist's rendition.
This got me thinking: What would a forensic reconstructionist make of some famous skulls of fiction? There are characters in film, television, and video games who we've only ever seen as talking skulls. Surely they couldn't have grown to adult size without once being flesh and blood, right? So what did they look like?
To answer the question, I've enlisted the help of an amateur forensic reconstructionist (okay, it was my wife, who never did any forensic reconstruction before but can draw better than I can). Provided with three images of fictional skulls, here are the results:
Skeletor
Manuel Calavera
Jack Skellington

I want this lamp.
