Have you ever wondered what Bjork would look like as the Virgin Mary? Well someone did.

This is genius. Lord Leighton's Portman is by 'Fux0r' – anyone want to own up?

this is one of the worst abuses of photoshop I've ever seen.

They're not even funny!

These are terrific! Some of my Chicago friends worked doing 3D animation (games, mostly) and were constantly checking in on artist sites like these, forums where people tried their hand at different things, gave each other pointers, etc. Apart from the disturbing geek quality of some of the exercises (there are apparently 800,000 young men in the U.S. pouring loads of time and resources into visualizing the hottest chicks possible in all media), it always seemed like a great way to develop your skills. One of these people will one day wander around telling everyone how he got hired to Photoshop the fake portrait of Kate Winslet for some terrible period picture.

NB am I the only one who kept scrolling down and expecting to see Ned?

Also check out how the Michael J. Fox one just looks like Colin Firth!

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Astounding!

x-post

But the ones that are really well done are impressive for their own sake.

― Kenan (kenan), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I agree, there's definitely some skill that went into these
especially to match the angles and skin-tones so well

but god
so much wasted talent
they could be photoshopping famous people into compromising situations instead of renaissance art

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah yes, that would be so much more worthy. (?)

You've got to start practicing somewhere.

does anyone remember that graphics/slideshow/text program that was like some embryonic version of PowerPoint that was on Macs, years and years ago? We're talking the macs that looked like turtles. What was that program? People should start using that again.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 07:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Hypercard?

― I'm serious ... Ti-i-i-i-im (deangulberry), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 07:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes!

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 07:43 (twenty-one years ago)

isnt hypercard more like a shitty programming language?

― Does John Coltrane Dream of a Merry-go-round? (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 07:53 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah but you could make pictures and slideshows with it.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 08:21 (twenty-one years ago)

When Ally said "turtle," I immediately thought of Logo.

― Kenan (kenan), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 08:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I won a contest in Logo! In third grade. I made a really pretty pattern in a kinda interesting (for the time) way, using all odd angles and 1000-times-repeated screen wraparounds. I got a shirt.

― Kenan (kenan), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 08:34 (twenty-one years ago)

then put it on

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)
