Little PhotoShop Of Stevie
 

Way back in the olden days of the Ledge t'was started The Stevie Of Death. A fun thread where we photoshoped Stevie and friends into horrible historic situations.

That lasted a good long wile but ran out of steam.

Not a surprise as the subject matter was limited.

We started drifting into other areas of shopping but that was left behind.

Now I think it is time to revisit this idea but open it up beyond just the one genre.

Here at the "Little PhotoShop Of Stevie" I invite any and all to participate and show off their photo manipulation skills and their sense of humor.

All categories are welcome. All styles accepted.

BUT! I think that there should be one rule we must agree on. No Porn images. That is anything that is deemed N.S.F.W. No hard core sex acts.



Asides from that everything is open season. "Stevie Of Death" "Artsy" "Political" and especially "Funny" is welcome.

So to start this off I enter the first pic of the season.

Momma mia. Holy crap said Batman .I thought Playboy stop the nudes thing last December with Pamela Anderson said Robin.

The BN album cover would make a great Playboy cover shot then.It would of sold mags and more BN LPs.

The second pix is cute.

Thanks for creating and sharing.

Thank You! The first pic I did way back in 2000. The second was a quicky 2 hour job.

Its been a long while and I'm a bit rusty. :D

HOLY SHEET!!!!!!!

i wish i could 'shop :distress:

MP .I love photo shopping.I love putting friends at places they never been to.Also I enjoy cleaning up old photos.

OK! Stepping WAY out of my comfort zone here and learning more on how to shop.

Need some input. You think I should put more on her and what about cloths? :shrug:

Need to challenge myself! :]

So I thought. But I found it wasn't that technically difficult. The problem is it takes soooooo much time! Oh Lords it takes a lot of time!! :]

Since some people do access the board from work, let's not post nudity. Obviously, the picture was not racy and, in fact, was just a tad more explicit than the Buckingham Nicks album cover itself. But we do want to gravitate away from the NSFW.

Thanks.

OMG
She looks like Linda Blair :eek:

OK. Opening text Changed accordingly. No big loss. Lots of other pics to shop. :thumbsup:

Yes she does have that roundish face here. Also a bit of Drew Barrymore to!

OK decided to start back at scratch and take my time with this.

I really didn't like the way the ear was exposedand the way the art was a little too cartoon-y.

So I changed it to a lower face art and added better art to the head.

This is YEARS old that I just now dug up for this thread.. It's kind of bad but I thought it was relevant lol

EDIT -- Perhaps one more for posterity ;) Stevie Thatcher

SNORT! LOL! :] :thumbsup:

OK This should be about it.

So Which one? I kinda like the one on the left.

Yes, the one on the left. The eyes seem bigger or warmer for some reason. Michele

Yep I agree. Also doing rhinestones on a face in shop is a BIG pain in the ass. It's difficult to get the right look or shine from the stones. :thumbsup:

OK Enough of this. I declare it done. Now on to other pics! :]

These head art photos look so cool.If she pulled this off years ago.It would be a great head turner.Pun intended.LOL.

Insane Fleetwood Posse?

KISS - Knights In Stevie's Service? :D :lol:

^^^
OMG I just watched that film the other night! That's hilarious.. :D

Thank you! I love the classics!

Baby, you fill the room with the wind and the rain and the water.

My two favourite historical figures mixed into one :)

Nice One!

I have found it a pain trying to match faces with painting textures.

I have to ask, who is it? Not Marie Antoinette, is it? :sorry:

Why yes it is Marie Antoinette! And I totally agree. This one gave me a fit because I used one of Stevie's faces from her 24kg polaroids, so it was incredibly orange.

What I did, was extract the colors from the original painting's skin, and then literally paint it on the face, blending in darker and lighter colors using the smudge tool. :)

One thing I have found for matching tones is I select the face layer and go to Image and select Auto Tone, Contrast and Color.

This brings the image closer to the background. Then in Image/Adjustment/Exposure and adjust Gamma Correction.

Then under Adjustments use a combination of Hue/Saturation, Vibrancy and others.

You can get very close in most cases to the background image.

To match texture use a little Filter/Noise/Add Noise.

But that's just me :D

Thank you, that's very interesting!

Unfortunately, though, I don't use photoshop, so I have GIMP. I will definitely try to replicate what you said though, because it sounds a lot easier lol. I'm a painter though, so it was fairly easy to hand paint it like that.

The problem I had with this particular face, however, was that I wanted to use this specific polaroid, "The Dealer" one, because it matched the painting pretty well I thought. But the problem was, I couldn't match the face,because when it did, it also completely ruined the eyes and lips by distorting the colours, or whatnot. What I'm amazed by though is how seamless your faces are... The one where she's in the plane doesn't even look like it was 'shopped at all!
:eek:

Thank you. I think for photoshop it's a generous use of the eraser tool that I lean on a lot.

Gimp is a good program and I think most of this can be done without too many problems.

I'm not overly familiar with it though I have used it for some cartography work.

I find Gimp has better noise and cloud fill options and can make much better random coastal areas.

BWHAHAHAHA

Replacing faces is usually not my cup of tea, but this is so funny. It works here in this situation. Very funny if you ask me. BWHAHAHAHAHA. Very well done! (Referring here to the Thatcher edit.)
Hey, maybe she wants a cup of tea here in this pic. BWHAHAHAHA

Along with this I think I will revisit some of my older posts and update them as I go along.

EDIT: Hmmm...Ya Know I really don't care for this one. :distress:
