FAKED SET: HEAVENLY EBONY

 

    Well, I hoped to get another set for you guys this week, and I managed to make good on that promise. Since Asian Persuasion was really popular with you guys, I thought that I would make a spin off featuring some absolutely beautiful black babes. In order, we have Zazie Beetz, Jurnee Smollett, Kylie Bunbury, and Rochelle Aytes, and I think I did a pretty damn good job with all of them. 

  There were some rather interesting challenges with these fakes. Most notably, the hair of each had to be extensively edited-much more than other fakes. In the case of Rochelle, it was a mere matter of ensuring that the hair color was consistent across both subjects. Now most of you can probably tell that the base model is the renowned Nicole Aniston. I've used her for several actresses across different fakes, such as Katheryn Winnick, Scarlett Johansson (which I actually used this exact image for), and Margot Robbie. Somehow, she has a body that can fit for several subjects, and once that is set in, I got to go with it. Now it was interesting to try it for Rochelle since obviously, Nicole isn't black. I figured I could get away with it since I've done something similar for Kristin Kreuk-whose base model was Remy Lacroix. Honestly, I'm not sure if it's convincing or not; you can decide for yourself. Circling back, the more challenging part was that Nicole is a blonde, while Rochelle has dark hair. To fix this, I resorted to clone stamping, the remove tool, and taking it into Faceapp to apply the final color and shine/texture. This was much the same for the others, but the remove tool was used much more in those, along with some warping for the Bunbury fake. Again, I can't stress enough how useful the AI tools in Photoshop really are when used in conjunction with the traditional tools. Funnily enough, it looks like they updated Photoshop with some new AI tools that look like they have some potential in this field. I'll have to give them a try the next time I make some. 

 The only disappointments I have with these is that I had to rush through them to get them done. I really wanted to take the Aytes and Bunbury fakes and try to change the size and style of the breasts to make them different. I really liked what I was able to do with the Courteney Cox and Evangeline Lilly fakes I made a while ago, but that program no longer works. So I either need to figure out how to do it in Photoshop proper, or I need to bite the bullet and try to in-paint them using a LORA in Stable Diffusion. Sadly, I don't have enough time to try either methods right now or in the foreseeable future. I'll cross that bridge when there.

 As for the composite projects, they won't see the light of day for some time. I just haven't had enough time to dedicate to those properly. These fakes can be made far more quickly and turn out well, but those need to be edited extensively to turn out any good. Hopefully, the finished products will show that the time put into them was worth it, but it's still far too early to tell. For now, I hope to get another set ready for next week, as after next Thursday, I'll be recovering from an operation and away from my home for around ten days. I'm not excited for that, but it needs to happen. 

So until next time, enjoy these fakes, and as always, stay safe out there.

P.S. Almost forgot, I did edit Margot Robbie into that Fukuhara fake from Asian Persuasion. Enjoy:
