Ok, Here's the first wwyd? person!  Meet DJ Wires (and look him up on Myspace if you like awesome techno DJs)

(click for full size)
https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/raverfluff/th_DJWires654.jpg

This is how the thread works, once a week or so I will post up a new humdrum portrait in all it's straight from the camera glory, you can download and edit it any way you like (crop, skin smooth, add wings/horns/bananas whatever) and post your results here (600px on the longest side plz)

Note:I didn't put a person in the first wwyd thread because I didn't want people to think in anyway that is just an attempt to "get free work".  This thread is meant to be fun, so spend 5 mins or 50 mins on it, make it serious or make fun of it, when you get bored toss it up here tongue

Second Note: If you have a portrait you'd like to submit for editing please pm me and I'll make it happen in an upcoming wwyd? post tongue

If you use Firefox, installing the Smiley Xtra 5 addon give you access to thousands of icons from DeviantArt to choose by simply typing in a word or theme.  https://fc05.deviantart.com/fs29/f/2008/165/7/b/7b4a5b3da04dc3b21b51d24fd6c880cf.gif

O.K., my really quick manip...


I was going for a kind of cheesy late 80s/early 90s look.
I used to see photos like this on the back of vinyl records all the time.

Can't you just hear the music?
Feel like the X is kicking in?

It's such a cheesy effect - but it was just so appropriate for this image, I couldn't resist! big_smile

Haha, yea, I did a lot of clean up on the other shots from this shoot (and did a much better job, lol), I sent to to the DJ as a game "What's missing from your own home?"
