    Please go ahead and laugh at it. My first morph that makes Keira Knightley's face look like a ghost.

    I'll confess it did throw me for a moment, but I think what really got me was the scale- it looks like Ms. Knightley's face is about two sizes too large, thus making the superbly developed body underneath it look almost childlike by comparison.

    Still, if this was your first attempt, it's outstanding- and lightyears (I'd say lighteons, but I don't know if that's a valid measure) ahead of anything I can do.

    Thanks for the comment. I thought something was wrong, I didn't realise it was the head size. Also because her skin is normally very pale white, i had to mess it up by making it more of a tanned colour to match the body.

    Well for a first attempt, you know, it's a first attempt.  If you'd like to improve I can offer the following suggestions:

    1.) Pay attention to proportions and ask yourself "Is this head really the right size?"  Do a compare and contrast with other pictures to make sure the head size is right.

    2.) It's usually good to match up the celebrities neck with the body builders neck, if that's not possible then erase the neck altogether and try to keep it aligned with the rest of the body.

    3.) Tanning the skin isn't enough to make the picture convincing, the hair color and the ambient color needs to match the background of the original picture.  You can't expect to match colors of a blue celebrity picture with one of a red background bodybuilder picture.

    4.) It's better to use a celebrity picture or bodybuilder picture that closely resembles the other, using pictures that are dissimilar rather than similar makes your job a hell of a lot harder.

    Hopefully these will help you to improve your craft, good luck!
