That’s just bizarre. The ‘before’ photos look like pictures of kids, the ‘after’ photos look like two-dimensional cartoons drawn by some amateur.
Ewwwww. I think the retoucher has recently switched careers, from a previous one as an embalmer.
I’ve been looking at these all day, and I’ve come to the conclusion that, actually, we’re looking at them backwards. See, the actual before picture is on the right. Somebody submits a picture of a doll, or painting. Mrs. PhotoShopLady then works her magic to make it look like a real person. She does a pretty good job, I’d say!
Aaaaaaaah Kill it! Kill the evil doll!
They’re horrifying. Normally, we enter Uncanny Valley from the other direction - artificial humanoids that start to approach genuine ones in their realism, and get scary - this time, it’s real humans that have been turned into something distinctly unhuman - perhaps inhuman - if they’d been changed more, they would be less scary.
I’m almost tempted to send in pictures of my kids and see what can be done with them, as a joke. Put it in a nice 8x10 frame and give it to Grandma for her birthday to see her reaction.
Gah. How fucking creepy and bad. I’m getting the heebie-jeebies from looking at it.
Make sure her will is up to date before you do this.
You set up a complete web site to play this joke on us right? It looks like the street carnival carton artist has gone on the internet. What’s next? Clowns and mimes on proxy servers, projected on big screens, for birthday parties.
Oh.
My.
God.
…
My skin has apparently crawled OFF my body. If anyone sees it, would you let me know? I’ll be hiding under the bed, whimpering.
That’s what’s getting me here. They fall squarely into the Uncanny Valley. The too-smooth skin, the gleaming-white, disproportionate Anime eyes, and the overall vague, creeping notion that at any moment, their voice will begin to stutter and change pitch erratically as they they begin ripping the skin from their faces, revealing themselves to be a nightmarish animatronic simulacrum right before they melt your face off with 100,000 volts of electricity from their eyes.
Pegged it in two.
Good eye, AHunter3.
:eek:
"My name is Talking Tina …and You’d Better Like Me!!!"
small whimpery noise from under the desk
(No, seriously, who in their right mind would want that hanging up on their walls?)
Unfortunately, that crazy lady is not the only one doing this. I thought this was an adequate retouching site until I scrolled down to the third picture.
Or check out this,
or the ones you can mouseover at the bottom the the page here.
They’re taking over!!!
What she did to end the “cute as a button” factor to this child’s photo is a SIN!
“Mouth replaced.” What the fuck? Why even bother to send her a photo of your child? Why not just say, “Hey, will you make a picture of my kid? She’s two years old, brown hair, brown eyes. See what you can do.”
:mad:
The ones of adult women look like drag queens in much brighter light than an actual drag queen would ever permit herself to be seen in.
The ones of little girls look, as noted, like nothing human.
That’s creepy as fuck.
I don’t even know what that means. They were just the first words in my head when I saw the pictures.
They look like that creepy Welch’s Grape Juice girl.
She’s gonna eat your soul, so don’t go looking for pics!!!
