My eight year old brother just discovered Irfanview...

Is the face-looking feature the original image? I'm getting a hint that it is, and I was just assuming that was intentionally made into that pattern through one of the manipulation techniques. Was it a simple filter pass that transformed all of the image in the exact same way and that's it? I've seen images like that where even the apparently distinguishable feature was simply a random creation using a certain filter technique too. Some images just lend certain filters to create something quite interesting yet entirely false (like a face in an altered image where the original image had no face 🙂)
 
A few months back, I finally made a donation to Irfan (or whatever his name is). To my surprise, he sent a registration code that enables some kind of feature. I wasn't expecting that.
 
...and is certain that the origin of the following image is entirely impossible to discern. I disagree with him and bet you guys could guess it quite quickly. What is it?

"@"?
 
All I can say is that the image was subjected to numerous filters and effects, from swirl to fisheye to noise to color corrections. Anything more and he says that it doesn't count for me if you guys guess it.

EDIT: And that none of you have gotten it yet.
 
I think the eyes are too close together in the OP's image. Does look like something from a pixar film, though.

But the color patterns match so well. Orangish color, black and white stripes, hint of teeth and tongue in the same relative positions...

Could be that the perspective of that particular pic makes the eyes look closer together or it could be the distortion effect added by irfanview.
 
Looks like a muppet. Kermit doing a ballerina pose? A snake with big eyes and a goofy smile?
