I scanned my face!

Very cool picture!

Somewhere in the house is a printed scan of my husband and I kissing, taken at school within the first month or so of our relationship. It’s just oozing with 19-year-olds-in-love cuteness.

You look like a changeling, wolf-alice. You know - that sweet orphan child a well-meaning pair of yuppies take home and then weird stuff starts happening in the house? Finally, one windy night when daddy has to work late. . .

Yikes. (Scared myself.)

FairyChatMom, THANK YOU!

Ethereal was my first thought. The picture is really cool.

Hope you don’t mind, but on the page where the photo you linked to is found there is this photo as well.

I am guessing it is you, and was made the same way. Assuming so, how did you manage to keep the pupils of your eyes wide like that? What with the light and all, I can’t imagine not simply scrunching my face up, let alone keeping big pupils.

And if you lose sight of this thread, there’s been a sticky at the top of MPSIMS for the picture gallery since last November.

That’s so cool. Inspired me to do the same.Here.

I’ll have to play with this some more in different lighting and with some makeup on. :slight_smile:

Har! That’s brilliant, Renee. Awesome hair! I like the no mouth as a counterpart to my no eyes - you find the souls, I’ll eat 'em.

I gotta ask. Your eyes are open. Does the scanner not blind you or at least damage your vision? Can you read this post? Cool pic though!

… Ahem. Actually the light is really dim on this scanner - I think because it’s cheap? I’ve scanned my face before (Yes! I am available as an asset to any office!) on other scanners, and then the light was too bright to do it with the eyes open.

Wolf, Renee, how y’all doin’?

My scanner is actually a pretty good one, and I didn’t find the light blinding. It’s about the wattage of a 60 watt bulb or so. Kind of bright, but nothing crazy.

Anyone know why it made my hair stripey? It’s not striped in real life. :slight_smile:

Renee, can I come to your house and scan my face, please???

Remember … what the Dope-mouse said:

“SCAN YOUR HEAD!”
Just ask wolf-alice. I think she’ll show.

Of course you can! I’m thinking about scanning my dogs’ faces, too. That would be interesting. I wonder if the cat would put up with it?

Wow, I’m in there. :o

I did the ‘scan your head’ thing a few times in college, on old, large map-copiers.
It made somewhat creepy pictures, and I thought they were cool; I typically look really bad in photos/film <if there’s a word meaning ‘Opposite of photogenic’ it’s synonymous with ‘Taomist’> but these were neato.

Also, I tend to wear hematite rings, and placing one of those on the copier face while and then moving it around while it’s being scanned creates some neat images, too.
