Nov 25 12 06:17 pm Link Looks like the charactacture dogs on postcards at petsmart. It's no longer photography. Nov 25 12 06:22 pm Link still fun! it's creepy enough to look very cool. not very fresh approach -- but excellent attention to details, poses and looks very funny. I think it was a lot of work! Nov 25 12 08:00 pm Link Can't say I'm impressed. KM Nov 25 12 08:11 pm Link Nov 25 12 09:04 pm Link -B-R-U-N-E-S-C-I- wrote: I think the point is to impress ad agencies.

They are done very well and show a certain amount of wry humour in their execution. Horses for courses and all that.... Nov 26 12 04:37 am Link Peano +1 Nov 26 12 07:02 am Link he has some good stuff Nov 26 12 07:18 am Link awesome Nov 26 12 07:45 am Link Peano wrote: not quite the same... although cool Nov 26 12 07:45 am Link It's an interesting concept and some fun editing. I bet the models were more impressed than anyone. Although I'm not really in love with the images.

Nov 27 12 03:06 am Link for this kind of work a retoucher have to study the bone proportion of the child, it's impossible to achieve the same result reducing the body size and making "big head with big eyes"  for heavy manipulation, christian is one of my favourities, the other is Rodney Pike: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= … 017&type=3 Nov 27 12 11:14 am Link some 3dppl take images of a real person's en face, profile and astern, and then wrap the gotten texture around an uniformed dummy figure in 3D software. if it's Genesis*-based, you can easily transform adult into child seamlessly, and more, you can make a person more chubby, skinny, pregnant, humpbacked, bodybuilder's type, of another sex, whatever, by just one click of a button, or gradually sliding many available controls. EVERYTHING STAYS ANATOMICALLY CORRECT. it sounds more complicated than it really is. importantly, it does pay back by having the total freedom varying positions, aspect angles and lighting and coming up with a lot of different images (more than you can possibly need). this approach is used a lot in advertizement or prototypes for very realistic games. *"The Genesis series allows for a virtually limitless set of additional figure shape variations that can all be built from a common base. These variations can range in both size and proportion while maintaining a common joint system (rigging)." so far, photoshop has very embrionic support for 3D, unfortunately, but it's used to polish the intermediate 2D maps and surfaces just a little bit, or adding some effects at the final production stage, just slightly.

In this case other then the obvious cartoonish adaptation, the work is clean and well comprised. Aside from that, it's a lot more over the top then I care for. Nov 27 12 05:33 pm Link LOVE them Nov 27 12 11:26 pm Link Creative and fun. Thanks for sharing. Dec 01 12 07:19 am Link They are reminiscent of the characters in the movie Monster House. Love them. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lhhr6yAh3v4/T … er_004.jpg Dec 01 12 09:18 am Link Weren't they doing this like 10 years ago? Funny for about 10 seconds but I wouldn't want it on a wall. Beer mug maybe. Cheers Dec 02 12 12:14 pm Link I'm not really a fan of 'tourist gallery' photography. These are particularly a little to creepy for my taste. Dec 02 12 12:19 pm Link i prefer the work of loretta lux.

Dec 06 12 11:40 pm Link moving pictures wrote: I was very impressed from the point-of-view of a showcase of skill. I admire Peano's understanding of retouching in general. In this case, I agree with moving pictures that he's doing something more skilled that bloating heads and compressing bodies. A nice way to grab attention. Dec 07 12 12:13 am Link I like them! Creepy, a little, funny, yup. And to me, well done. Thanks for posting. Dec 07 12 12:29 am Link moving pictures wrote: mmmh, you are taking this too seriously, I think this was sarcasm. Dec 07 12 01:27 am Link Thats hilarious! I love those kind of manipulations. Angelo Dau wrote: Agreed. Rodney Pike is definitely one of my favorite caricature artist on the net. Dec 07 12 01:30 am Link Looks like a mental ward lineup for down syndrome kids...  Dec 07 12 01:45 am Link |
