Face TransformerDo you old timers remember when Frances posted a link to a Face Transformer website? I don't know if this one is the same one, but I checked it out and came up with these funky results:
It's supposed to be all for fun, but there's something quite unsettling about it. |

Except for the vieja, I think I've actually seen faces like those somewhere. | ||||
| Elaine |
You know, they do look awfully familiar-- like people I've encountered before. The next time I come across someone resembling either of those pictures, I'll say something like, "Hey, you look just like me... only black!"

Omigod! HAHAHA!!!! Now let me ask you-- minus the moustache, does your baby picture and child picture look anything like how you did back then? 
Here's Brad Pitt: 
He's do-able either way!

Re: Face Transformer
It's not exactly the same as the one Frances posted but the interface is similar. The previous one allowed you to age yourself 10 to 40 years and didn't have all the other face transformation options. Moi ... ... as a baby (and apparently with some sort of craniofacial disorder): 
... as a child, looking like a certain boy band member: 
... as some old guy: 
... as one cool looking African / Caribbean guy: 
... West Asian: 
... East Asian (not bad but those eyebrows are out of control!):

Re: Face Transformer
Something about those eyes looks very adult. You look good as an African-Caribbean and a West Asian. I'd like to see this process done on your abs. (Baby Julian with a mini-sixpack. )

Pisser! My connection's too slow.
Perhaps one of you will be kind enough to do my picture for me? Pretty please? 
|

| Julian |
It would be my pleasure! I didn't know which 'styles' you wanted, so I did all of them, stole Elaine's idea, and laid them out in a contact sheet:

Uriel, I like your Modigliani face! When I visited the website, I was surprised that no one had shown examples of the last few transforming choices.
I tried this on a picture of a white cat, and the results were amusing. Unfortunately, when I try to save, I get a "Can't connect to server message." Any suggestions? I also tried it on one of my favorite faces, that of Timothy Dalton -- 
and found that he made a wonderful El Greco. Interestingly, his West Asian face looked very much like Shashi Kapoor, an Indian actor and heartthrob of the 1960s and 1970s. |

Oh, alright -- 
Click to see full size image I wasn't wild about the "feminized" results because all it seemed to do was round out my face. I guess it means I've got feminine facial features already.  I like the El Greco image.
Yeah, that save feature doesn't work. You're going to have to hit your PRINT SCRN key, paste it onto your imaging program and crop accordingly. |
||||
| Deborah |
Well, your feminized face doesn't actually look very feminine, if that makes you feel beter.
Yes. And that's the one I liked of Timothy Dalton (I corrected it from "Goya" above). Thanks for the tip about how to save the pictures. |

| Uriel |
Why, thank you, Deborah!
I look interesting black, probably best as a West Asian, and ya gotta love me as an extra in Planet of the Apes! (I always thought Helena Bonham Carter made a disturbingly beautiful chimp...) I loved the Boticelli and the Modigliani, too! Surprise, surprise -- I like their paintings in real life, too. Usually I love Mucha as well, but that image didn't do much for me! The program does a terrible job with regression, though -- I looked nothing like that as a child -- but I do hope I look that good when I'm eighty. A few wrinkles, no sag -- I can handle that! |
||||
| Deborah |
I think the Botticellization makes men look a bit pugnacious -- just like his paintings. | ||||
| Uriel |
It does, doesn't it? I liked him best as a Modigliani, although the Greco was nice too -- it just ceased to look like Julian.
But skip the breast implants, Julian -- you're a beautiful man but a frightfully hideous woman! |
||||
| Julian |
No worries. I'm perfectly happy in my own skin.

Re: Face Transformer
Wow! You (as a black person) bare a striking resemblance to that handsome actor who used to be on The Young and the Restless, Kristoff St. John. 
|

| Elaine |
La Loba, I think you look fantastic black! And, you hold up better than I do at that senior age. |

That site is great!  Unfortunately, I get that error message whenever I try to save the pictures to my computer (PRINT SCRN doesn't work, either  ) The results surprised me a little. I always thought I resembled my maternal grandmother the most, but the caucasian version of me looks an awful lot like my half-sisters on my father's side. Weird...
The Afro-Caribbean version of me was funny, too. I think I've seen her before! She's one of the dancers in MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" video
