Fun with FaceApp

A Blast From The Past, Part 4

But there was nothing more passionate or sexy than a woman in red...

[brianbraddock1980]

A Blast From The Past, Part 5

Some exotic body paint perhaps?


Or next to nothing at all?

[brianbraddock1980]

A Blast From The Past, Part 6

Then I figured, less was more.

[brianbraddock1980]

A Blast From The Past, Part 7

The day was waning more than my energy. I was charged up.



But I needed a minute. I covered Kristin the way I might any other priceless statue and stopped to admire my handiwork.

A Blast From The Past, Part 8

My time with Kristin was coming to an end. I took a few more parting shots. Just for the memories.




I couldn’t leave her unclothed out there. It was Canada after all. And cold. I gave her a kiss and left before the time started again.

Wow, you really got it with Bettina and Nina. Fantastic stuff.
And Jeanne is probably rather unknown outside of Germany. I might be doing more with her.
And please let me know if I should do someone for you.

My mistake, wrong spelling. Her name is Jeanne Goursaud.

Thanks for the compliment. That was fun to do. And by the way, Jeanne Goursaud is stunning! I’d love to see more of your work with her.

As for inspirations, I’d love to see your interpretations of someone like Camila Cabello or Zoe Saldana. There are a number of Asian women that I’d like to showcase, but getting them to look like the original has been difficult. Because I’d love to see some women like Arden Cho (a personal favorite) or the members of BlackPINK.

Yes, they are Hard to do. Zoe and Camila are also not easy.
Here‘s Zoe anyway.

Back in the US first thing we did was bump into Zoe Saldana. What could we do but turn the camera her way.


She looked a little puzzled but cute.


It almost felt like Christmas in the summer prepping Zoe up.


In the end the statuesque presentation was a no-brainer.

[heines]

We had promised a Camila Cabello presentation. So we froze her as she was about to complain our camera. After it clicked no more complaints.


Special care was taken to present Camila as dolllike as possible. So she got wheeled into the medical unit.


So hello dolly.


The final presentation left no questions as to who was the finest doll in the museum.

[brianbraddock1980]

The only thing better than one Camila Cabello display in the museum was two of them. My team and I brought my Camila to Germany to have a very special display.

Return To La La Land, Part 1

Driving to LA is always an adventure, even with time stopped all around me. But seeing the rising star Jessica Rothe as she sipped her wine was worth the trip.


My team packaged her up and get her ready for transport.


And got her started with some fashion shoots...

[brianbraddock1980]

Return To La La Land, Part 2

I gave her a few looks to accentuate her natural beauty

[brianbraddock1980]

Return To La La Land, Part 3

And to have a little fun...

[brianbraddock1980]

Return To La La Land, Part 4

And showcase Jessica’s sexier side...

Welcome to Austria

Next on the european freeze camera trip was Austria. The tough and rather statuesque Lilian Klebow was our first frozen doll. She looked rather astonished after we froze her. A little tip within finger and she wobbled stiffly.


When we got her in the museum she looked no longer tough but cute and surprised.


Let‘s make that facial expression a bit more ladylike, Lilian.


And here we are, what a statue.

[heines]

Meanwhile back in Germany we had a new round of freshly frozen contestants to choose from.

Jana Pallaske


Tanja Wenzel


Paula Beer


Jessica Ginkel


So, who‘s next?

[brianbraddock1980]

Man, you’ve got some beautiful women in Germany! My picks would be Tanja or Jessica since I’m partial to blondes.

[heines]

The Tanja Wenzel doll

As the camera clicked, Tanja sported a totally surprised facial expression, mouth and eyes wide open. Why me?

Let’s put some make up on you, Tanja.


What’s next?


Result. What a statuesque beauty.

[brianbraddock1980]

Great stuff Heines!

Filipina Beauty, Part 1

A trip back to the Philippines is just what the doctor ordered. I needed some rest and relaxation. And that’s when I saw the lovely Kim Domingo.


The tall and statuesque model/actress was more beautiful up close.


We brought her to the suite and went to work with her expressions.

[brianbraddock1980]

Filipina Beauty, Part 2

I brought out her supermodel persona on the first set of shots.

[brianbraddock1980]

Filipina Beauty, Part 3

There was only one other way to take the lovely Ms. Domingo...


And that was the sensual end...

[brianbraddock1980]

Filipina Beauty, Part 4

My team set her up for the final set of shots...



And we got what we needed. A new addition for the museum and memories to last a while...

[heines]

Blonde on blonde

In keeping with our blond German doll theme, Jessica Ginkel was next. We froze her while she was busy on a phone.


She looked goofy but cute as we wheeled the stiff blond in.


After a bit of making up she looked positively statuelike.


And now for a sultry presentation.

Question: I’m working on the next chapter of The Fraternal Order and I need a photo manipulated for the cover to use on Deviantart. Not sure how faceapp works, but can you guys alter just the eyes without changing the entire face of the base model? In the story I have the figure posed on a bed and the viewer is looking down at her. She's described as having a blank or dreamy look on her face with the irises slightly rolled up into the lids. In the pic I’m using, the model is flat on her back, but her eyes are wrong (nearly closed). I’ve noticed that most of these pics you guys post are head-on, so maybe Faceapp won’t work from such a low angle (?)

Hi there.
It‘s not impossible. You can be lucky, if you‘re using a second pic of the same model. Like this:

Original


Morph and big eyes functions


And the angle might be a problem too. Maybe you could send your base pic (And another pic of how the eyes should look) and I‘ll see if I can do something.
Possibly photoshop or something like that would be another option.

Thanks for the reply, Heines. I emailed the pic of the model I plan to use along with a segment of the scene that she's posed in. I do have a bunch of eyes that I've cut & saved when I was trying to paste them on in paintshop, but the results looked pretty hideous! Think I'll stick to the writing aspect...

No problem. I'll try over the weekend.
