Updated Wardrobe with some new mag scans!!

.

.

So i was really inspired to do a Katou Miliyah makeover but half way during the tutorial i got sidetracked!

I thought i should share this first because it’s fun and easy! I’m going to teach you how to Vivi-fy your own photo!

This is Katou Miliyah in January 2010’s  S Cawaii (just realized it’s not Vivi, btu whatever, cuz if i write How to S cwaii-fy Your Pic it sounds draggy! Plus Vivi is the best mag!!!)

So we don’t even aim to go on the cover, because it’s so obviously Cheat One™. We will cheat subtly this time. We appear on the beauty editorial page. More feasible yes?

.

.

So!

This is how it is done!!

And obviously after max photoshopping. I was supposed to look like Katou but i end up looking a bit like Elli Rose -_-

.

.

Anyway! The good/bad news is!!

In fact, i’m not going to teach you, i’m going to spoonfeed you.

This is a template i did. Just save the file, drag to your photoshop, go to IMAGE then change the MODE to RGB. Then drag your camwhore pic underneath this template, and you can has Vivi!

.

.

Next up i will post a Cheat One™ make up tutorial to look almost, but not exactly unlike Katou Miliyah. Stay cheesed!!!

PS: Drop me a comment link if you really so eat-full-nothing-to-do go and Vivi-fy your picture cuz i wanna see!!

Like i said, it is addictive.

It was supposed to look like Audrey Hepburn! Went for this event thing where everyone has to dress like Audrey Hepburn, veru fun! More pictures soon. By the way i changed my parting back to left side. Cannot tahan the new parting it looks weird but then i changed it because i think my old parting was balding what turf!

And one of my Christmas wishes came true!!! I finally got a white Christmas tree omg so happy!

And now i just need a new Nintendo DS to complete my Christmas wish. See, i am simple, right?

I just shifted all the baubles and ornaments over. The green one maybe put balcony or i will just give to someone!

Budden hor, if i say i just PSed the green Xmas tree to white, would you believe me?

When i showed Oli Xiaxue’s post he said all the end products end up looking like herself! Then i think, it is quite true lo! If she keeps on photoshopping all the girls they will all become a variant of Xiaxues. HAHA!

I asked her why she never photoshop me (Traffic hike, What turf) and she said i don’t need it!  And she too busy to talk to me anyway so i did my own research and practiced for one whole day and these are what i came up with. And guess what? It is soooooooo easy i’m sure anyone of you can do as good. And it’s hopelessly addictive.

They are all overly photoshopped beyond recognition. Yup. That’s the whole point.

Also i promised on the Nuffnang featured blogger post that when they hop over to my blog they will see my real face. So the before photos below are all original and completely unphotoshopped.

Extreme Makeover 1

This one is done by Haze from Blush Berry. For my header. Super nice la i liked it so much! Quite amazing cuz it’s just a random photo i took outside Pavilion after a make-over. It’s also my inspiration to improve my PS skill! Now i think i can do quite well.

Compare

This “before” pic is the only edited one because i accidentally saved over the ori file so yea.

Extreme Makeover 2

This is from the same day. I think it is not very good yet.

Compare

This is 100% original.

Extreme Makeover 3

Compare

This one played with hair color a bit but not much difference la.

Extreme Makeover 4

Wanted a bit more challenge so i PSed Vene also. But then i think she looks kinda weird here. I’m only good at PSing myself.

Compare

Extreme Makeover 5

I think by now i have achieved a skill where i think i am unconsciously PSing myself into other people/characters. Role play. Remember.

I think this looks rather anime-character-ish.

Compare

Extreme Makeover 6

Ohhh. I kinda like this. It is a pic i would want to show my plastic surgeon. I think it looks like some Korean super star. And the perfect nose i want.

Compare

Job done: Face botox, Korean nose, fuller lips, fuller chest (i remember someone saying mine was fake cuz ishe thinks it’s Photoshopped,back in the MDG days. Nah give you. Faker boobs), hair hightlight etc.

Extreme Makeover 7

This pic has the ugliest original pic ever. The make up was 3kg heavy and cakey i looked like some zombie with infectious skin disease.

Compare

Nah.

Extreme Makeover 8

Ok this is my fav. Not because it’s super pretty or what but when i finally finished it i kinda shocked myself because the first thing i thought was “OMG that’s so Jolin!”

Job done: Sleepy eyes lift, grey-blue contact lens, Jolin’s nose, Shu Uemura’s falsies, Pink nail art, hair extension etc etc etc can’t remember.

Please try! It’s very very fun. but i must warn you that after you have successfully mastered the skill, you will never want to look into the mirror ever again.

For that imaginary fame, make yourself an iDoll.

As if the Harajuku Doll is not enough, i’ve decided to post up more dolls.

I was reading my Aki Mui Mui’s blog and i found this avatar of hers highly intriguing.

She Blythelized herself.

This is the original photo.

That’s sooooo cheesarific right?!

Forget about Simpsonizing!

iDollizing is way cooler.

Dollify yourself ala Blythe & Pullip Dolls. Which girl doesn’t wish she looks like a doll (though the dreadfully out-of-porportion Blythe’s are kinda eerie sometimes)!

Blythe Dolls.

Pullip Dolls.

Yes. The kiasu Cheesie dolled up herself and now has her own iDoll series too. Cheese’em out.

(click on the picture for original).

The 60’s Retro iDoll

The Tokyo City iDoll

The Chibi iDoll

The Kitty iDoll

The Lolita iDoll

If i’m free enough i will post up a tutorial on how to iDollize yourself. If i’m kindhearted enough i can even help you iDollize yourself. If i’m evil enough…

I will make this the second Cheesie Meme!!!666

Muahahohohuhu.

Granted. I’ve decided that everyone is entitled to impeccable porcelain skin, super thick eyelashes, smooth, silky, glossy hair, spare-tyre-free abs and mile-long legs.

Therefore. For those who have yet to realize the power of digital surgery, i’m here to show how you may stretch your legs to whatever extent you like. Literally.

Truth to be told. My face was naked when i took the pictures, because i was in a hurry to get the blog post done (while my ideas are still flesh and while i still naively believed that it’s plausible for me to look like the hottest Taiwanese vain-pot singer), so i didn’t bother to even put a scrap of make up on my face.

Yes you read it right. All make up was done digitally. Amazing, isn’t it?

Ok. View at your own cheesretion.

Let’s skip a few steps and start with the one with digital make up on my face already (sorry i can’t show my naked face. Bad skin week. Unless you wanna see the breakfast you ate this morning, on your computer keypad again).

The BEFORE picture.

Oh yea my legs are shorter than Paris Hilton’s miniskirt.

Step 1: The Basics

1. Remove any potong steam object with Stamp Tool.
2. Liposuction. Remove excess fat on any part you like with Liquify.
3. Whiten skin and with Replace Color and hue & saturation

Result:

Step 2: Enhancement

1. Add a tattoo using Art Brushes.
2. Adjust lighting using Burn to create shadows.
3. Create Hair extension using Hair Brushes.

Use any brush pattern you like. It’s too small to be seen clearly anyway. Reduce Opacity to blend into the skin.

Add more hair. Choose the Hair Brush that suits your hair.

*All the brushes can be downloaded from Deviantart.

Result:

The first level of Photoshopping is completed. It’s up to you if you wanna do anything to the background.

Step 3: Background Changing
1. Remove background with the Magic Wand Tool.
2. Use the Gradient Tool to create a denim-color background.
3. Adjust color.

Make sure you take your picture against a plain background so it’s easier to remove the background.

Create Gradient layer.

Adjust the color using Dodge and Burn to blend the gradient nicely, as well as create shadows.

Step 4: Super looooooong legs!

There are a lot of ways to do this but this is what i found the easiest.

1. Shrink the body (for extra leg room). Or you can move yourself to a bigger canvas.
2. Use Marquee Tool to select your legs.
3. Cut and Paste.
4. Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch.

Use Transform to shrink. Make sure you press Shift while shrinking.

Select the part you wanna extend. Then you have to do the amputation. Muahaha.

Cut and paste. Join the limbs together.

Stretch it! This part is tricky though. If both your legs are parallel, It should be no problem. However, as you can see that my left leg is bending, while you stretch it, the lower part of the left leg will become thicker (read: FAT. 0.o). Therefore, you need to do another Liquify job after stretching to slim it down.

if you the fancy super duper mega ultra long leg effect, you can cut the calves to stretch them a little more.

Repeat the steps.

Finally, add logo.

DONE.

The final art. Ahem.

*Enhanced picture. Balanced the leg and uhm, stretch it yet a tad longer.

(Click for larger image. Not very perfectly done though. Sleepy la.)

Well. Just to make my point.

Congrats! You are now qualified Digital Surgeons and now all of you can send your pictures to Levi’s for model application. Please send a copy to me!

One last piece of advice. Don’t photoshop too much if you can. It’s addictive and you may like what you see in your computer screen more than you do in the mirror.

P/S: Erm, don’t pester me about digital make up. It’s really easy. Just burn and dodge here and there, and some stamp tooling (i prefer that to healing brush).
