I love that his head came out heart-shaped. Also, I still think we should use a 3-D printer to make some of these into chess pieces.
Love me tender, love me… oh, forget it.
I had to split those famous, curly lips.
And that has to be the best mirror image hair meld of all times, right?
I think it will take a long time to make America great again… after this guy leaves. I do know that it makes my life a little better when I make fun of him.
Without the famous smile, did you even recognize her?
I will now demonstrate how the placement of the mirror image line gives you completely different effects. Above is a ‘tip of the nose’ line.
Here, I went with the center of the eye.
And that is what I like to call ‘the Siamese twin’ look.
Any way you slice it… or her… it is a captivating painting. I have seen it in the Louvre.
It is a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
I don’t know if these will help Make America Great Again… but it makes me feel a little better, I must say.
I have actually been in the presence of the Queen and the Royal Family… by which I mean I was only a few dozen yards from them.
That would make the best Queen for a chess board ever!
Can you tell who that is?
Here is the same image, mirrored in the opposite direction.
Well, we all knew this was coming, right?
I had to do some mirror images of this guy.
He is perfect for it.
The ridiculous hair…
The preposterous pompousness…
The face you just want to throw up on.
But I am glad we got this out of the way.
Oh yeah, I am painting Gandhi on an egg next Easter.
I flattened him out like a map of the world!
I think these demonstrate my theory that doing mirror images on faces, which are already symmetrical, is a waste of time… unless the subject is looking off to the side.
What is the sound of one Gandhi eating another Gandhi?
And now, as promised, some sexy… almost… pictures of a famous movie star.
Hey, I’m not here to judge you.
But if you do find these photos sexy…
You are weirder than I am…
And I am the one running this freak show.
As demonstrated by these two images, this mirror imaging thing is tricky on faces that are looking directly into the camera. If you mirror it right down the middle, well, you can see for yourself.
But you can make it more artistic.
It is all about where you draw the mirror line. I could have cut through her nose, or her eyes.
I do like the third eye though. I also might be inventing some new hair styles.
Or maybe not.
Nothing like having some fun with an iconic photograph of an iconic person. But seriously, that is the worst case of camel toe I have ever seen.
If I cut that one in a different place, the effect would be way less attractive than it is.
That is half the fun with these, determining where to draw the line… something that I am not historically good at.
But in Photoshop, unlike in life, you always get a second chance.
I did say that faces don’t work with this mirror image thing, because they are already symmetrical. The workaround is finding an image of the face that is looking to the side.
Please feel free to give suggestions of who you would like to see in this part of the series.
Distinctive faces work best… like old Abe here.
I already have some ideas. Marilyn Monroe and Gandhi sprang to mind.
But I will try not to get carried away.
