Lol, missy showed me this photo she touched up and the original and I thought I might have a crack at it myself.
I don't think I'll ever look at a picture in a glamour magazine (not that I look at pictures in glamour magazines ) again...

Of course not, they always do that crap in the fancy magazines.

Though, if I shouldn't believe magazines, then that means there really isn't a Sheep Man in Megaman 10?

[Andy]

I don't think airbrushing was too prevalent in Megaman 10

I was just trying to jest with the general consensus of not believing magazines because it was Nintendo Power, a magazine, that revealed Sheep Man.

Guess it wasn't easy to pick up on.

I'm afraid that obscure reference don't mix well with people who didn't even know Nintendo Power existed

O:

The magazine has been around for 20 years, do you not game at all?

[Andy]

Looks like I've been busted...

[Rambo]

To be fair, you can tell it's been airbrushed..

[Andy]

Well, in all fairness, with that original photo, the only way to get a decent looking result is to over airbrush

haha reminds me of the age old:



Apart from air brushing how is it done anywho?

Oh my goodness... lol. Good thing I never read these magazines x_x.

Well I didn't really need to use liquify since the head shape was already fine. Airbrushing wasn't enough for this one, since because of the pimples she had a really blotchy complexion, so I had to duplicate the airbrush layer and blur it heaps, creating a sort of diffuse glow to smooth out her complexion, also made her look like plastic, but oh well . I used 2 hue and saturation filter layers, one above the original layer to get her lips a fuller colour and another above the final layer to give her a better skin complexion. Also sharpened the original layer by copying it, applying High pass and setting the opacity to 30, blending style overlay.

Does anyone have the picture of the magazine cover where the girl is shopped so badly that they accidently took away her bellybutton?
