I'm a huge genealogy fan, so I love this idea and I'd also like to make an attempt at this if that's ok. I'll try to put something up here before the weekend.

Yes I would love that! Anybody who wants to take a crack at it be my guest. I thought it would be cool being a man cave to have all the Byrd men in a portrait on my wall and I thought it would be cool to have this to show my son each generation where he came from the byrd family. I know for me and my dad it would be special to have. Thank God for all yall who can make this possible.

I took a little bit of creative freedom but here is a design with a couple different colors. One is with a black background as mentioned in your request and the other is geared toward the idea that you might be an LSU fan.

Nice work Nole Man and Pain Train. And I'm sorry I can't help it as great as Pain Train's work looks all I can think of is "Byrd Eggs"

I find that the quality of the picture on the second person from the left isn't the best. All the others are workable but that one portrait throws it off a little to me. No better quality pictures of him by chance?

I really love that one great work. All the pictures he is dressed up in he is looking away and making crazy faces and his hair is crazy all over the place.

Here's what I came up with, strangely sized but maybe it can work? Right-click on it and open it in a new window so you can see it full size.

Like this one as well, IMO if you trimmed off a little more of #4's hair it would look even better, so the top of his head doesn't look like its outlined.

I actually added the outline, so you could see the shape of his head When it wasn't there, I couldn't decide if I liked not being able to see it disappearing into the background. Are you thinking erase it completely, or just a little more gradually?

now I feel like an arse. May just be a preference thing then, I can see how his hair would disappear into the background without it there, but my eyes are drawn to it every time I look at the picture.
