Would anyone like to morph my friend for fun? I had a huge crush on her and wanted to ask her out but stuff got complicated and it never happened. Just wondering if anyone wants to do any editing for fun.

I’m not any good at doing muscle morphs, but it you have a few good photos of your friend with her hands above her head I might be able to do a superstrength morph (i.e. a picture of her lifting something heavy with ease).

I love JDM’s morphs. He used to check in more here. jdm022.com My favorite morph site. I wish he updated more. 🙂

i can do a morph for you over at my DA site, you would have to compensate me for it since i’m really busy

my DA is GrandMasterLucilious.deviantart.com, send me a note if you want to discuss this further

Jdm apparently updated his site two days ago.

You should post what pics you have so the resident photo manipulation artists can see what they would have to work with (myself included).

I might be willing to do it but I will personally need to see what I would be working with and what you had in mind. I have my own list of do’s and don’ts and will’s and won’ts as will other artists here. Photo manipulation can be a ton of work and very time consuming so there has to be something in it to the artist.

I personally am intrigued and will settle for you un-learning the misuse of the term “morph” which is a particular pet-peeve of mine that I am constantly pointing out.

A “morph” is a term used to refer to a computer generated animation that gradually transitions one image into another image before your eyes. Michael Jackson’s Black Or White video is a perfect example of that. I have linked to the end of the video starting at time index 5:27 where different faces morph from one to the next. Morphing involves computer programs that apply mathematical algorithms and use fixed markers like eyes, nose, mouth, etc as guides to identify similarities and to transition pixels and regions from one image into another in a process of steps that occur frame by frame.

Morphing is very different from “photo manipulation” which is what you are referring to. A “manip” (for short) has various types. A straight manip is warping and resizing regions of a subject and applying different tools and techniques available to the artist by their chosen software to create an “Enhancement”, or “Reduction”, or a “Reshaping”. There is “Frankensteining” which is cutting out desired body parts from two or more subjects and recombining them into a re-imagined new subject. And there is “Airbrushing” which is re-painting areas of a subject to add, remove, and reshape.

Just a sidebar, but within the GTS and SW communities, they use the term “collage” for their photo manips, which are just straight cut and pastes of selected figures to the new background.
