Photoshop request
2005-05-23, 2:27 PM #1
This shouldn't be too hard, but my editing skills suck the big time, so I ask a request from you Massassians, if you would.

I would like a photo that combines a face/head/bust of Aragorn (from the Lord of the Rings movies) with Weird Al (his new look, not the old one with his glasses). I'll take any and all attempts posted on this thread.

Thanks :)

Since there was some confusion, I'll shorten my request:

I want a photoshopped blend of Aragorn's face and Weird Al's face into one new face.

Here are some pictures that may help to get started with:

Aragorn:

Weird Al:

Even monsters?

Sorry, it's my first blending attempt. :(

I said any and I meant it.

Though yes, I would prefer if the blending looked less monsterous ;)

I've heard of programs that do this sort of thing specifically, but I couldn't remember the name of one, nor where to find it.

Made this with an image morph program, so there's no real artistic ability involved.

What's that, Geb? "Get on MSN, fool?" Why, look at the time, I've really got to be...

:p @ Krig. Thanks man.

Maybe you can post a link to the program you used so others could take a stab with different photos?

dang. Al-agorn is freaking ugly.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Yeah, well I'm still hoping to see a not-so-ugly photoblend :) Krig made a good start, but I think with the right photos and some Photoshop tweaking after the initial blend job, it could result in something that won't scare little children... well, not that it shouldn't be able to...

So you all will know why I made this request, I will clue you in on the reason. There's a NeS character created by DrkJedi82 (Jim Seven, which you can find here, 3rd drawing in the middle) whom the author envisioned resembling a blend of Aragorn and Weird Al. As you can tell from their seperate photos, they're not too dissimilar, and I was hoping to get a good blend job to use as a reference for future, more detailed drawings.

Another attempt.

The program is called "Abrosoft Fantamorph". I have no idea where I got it, it was a long time ago.

Holy crap that's creepy, mostly because it pulls off so many elements so well.
