1. They're like cartoons
They don't look remotely like photos. And half of them didn't really need any real retouching anyway. :wow:

13. The hat and, er, cashmere tank top have more realistic textures than her skin!
She looks like she was made out of construction paper. And not normal construction paper, either. Like construction paper heavily discounted because the mill made a mistake and dyed the paper a color somewhere between purple and gray.

54. "His" is not correct
Kel is a woman! That makes it even worse; I'm surprised that any woman would have such a nasty combination of heavy hand, bad taste, and poor eye.

34. those two little girls on the bottom, the ORIGINAL photos are scary, look at
the dark circles under their eyes. like they haven't slept in about a month.

The older young women do not look nearly as scary as the little girls. I wonder why he can make those transitions look so much better than the others?

The two best ones though are the ones where he only adjusted the lighting a bit.

15. Because the following is that artist's favorite song?
Written by: neil diamond

Love you so much, cant count all the ways
Id die for you girl, and all they can say is
Hes not your kind

They never get tired of puttin me down
And I never know when I come around
What Im gonna find
Dont let them make up your mind
Dont you know

Girl, youll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, youll be a woman soon
Soon youll need a man

Ive been misunderstood for all of my life
But what theyre sayin, girl, just cuts like a knife
The boys no good

Well, I finally found what Ive been looking for
But if they get the chance, theyll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, Ive done all I could
Its up to you

Girl, youll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, youll be a woman soon
Soon youll need a man

39. dead eyes.
It is truly creepy. If you've never had the experience of looking into the eyes of someone who is dead...I hope you never do. That's what it's like...lighted, glassy, vacant...they suck the life and energy out of a room. It's the coldest I've ever felt in 90-degree heat.

I'm anti-supernatural and it even gives me the shivers. I'm fairly comfortable with death...I was there in the room when both of my grandparents died...and I've volunteered in an end-care hospice. I can process almost anything but I never got used to the eyes.

The question is whether or not their families paid the person to :ahem: "stylize" their one remaining snapshot, or the :ahem: "retoucher" is also the instrument of death?

33. His wedding retouches are OK
but the pageant stuff is scary ... of course, child beauty pageants are scary even without the scary photo retouches.

I love this:

4. Since I use Photoshop, I have alot of hair brushes, but its probably better if you can already have their hair styled. I'm still learning about drawing in hair.

And look at how good of a deal it is:

Photo retouching consists of the following:
*Cropping photo*
*Smoothing and blending of skin*
*Getting rid of unwanted shadows and dark circles*
*Whitening teeth*
*Deleting stray hairs*
*Adding lashes and/or liner*
*Adding blush, lip color, and eye shadow*
*Reshaping eyebrows*
*Adding a background*

The total for this package is $30.

Total Photo Retouching includes all the above, plus the following:
*Making lips fuller, adding teeth, or straightening teeth*
*Removing braces*
*Changing eye color*
*Doing anything to hairstyle*
*Adding jewelry, bows, or other accessories*
*Changing clothing color*

The total for this package is $35.

40. They're almost like really bad oil paintings
Aren't the pageants themselves trying to get away from the "JonBenet" look?

I figure that if they want to have a picture of their kid painted up to look like a porcelain doll, it's their money. Beats having their kid painted up that way, anyway.

69. It's probably a "cavernous hemangioma"
A common type of birthmark that tends to shrink and fade away as kids get older.

But even with it, the kid looks way better in real life. The after shots all look like they've been embalmed.

66. For those of you who are thinking about clicking the link:
It takes a long time to download all the pictures into your browser. This is time of your life you'll never get back.

I'll give you the rundown. "Artist" takes pictures of kindergarten-aged girls and brides. The pictures are then rendered plasticine via Photoshop. Or MSPaint, I can't tell. They're shitty. Not "funny bad," either, just bad. Dreadful. Stupid. I bet the "artists" parents even think this shit sucks.

Don't waste your time. It will take a few days off the life of your soul.
