ATTEMPT #2 TURNED OUT MUCH BETTER...

 

So I was indeed able to get back in quick and work on something. I decided to go ahead and give it another try with Winnick. I was pleased with what I did yesterday, but I wanted to make one that still looked as realistic as my usual work-as I felt yesterday's looked almost too artsy. So with a little more free time on my hands, I managed to make this.

Instead of Nicole Aniston as the base, I went with Tasha Reign. I feel she's a decent backup for my Winnick fakes, and the image I found was a decent quality. I used the same headshot as the one from yesterday, but I changed the angle to best fit the image. Again, I cannot stress how amazed I am by the accuracy of the generations. Once I figure out how to best word the prompts for achieving exactly what I want, these fakes will exist on a whole other level. I hope to be able to use it to create more thematic fakes. For instance, if you've ever seen Shrek2099's fakes (https://shrek2099v2099.blogspot.com/?m=1&zx=fc071339f86e9a1d), you'll know that they like to create fakes based off of many different superhero films or series. I could possibly do some similar things with some basic generations. Hell, I could've probably put a mask on Winnick here and had her cosplay as Black Canary (who she absolutely should be casted as). I've always enjoyed those kind of fakes, but I never felt I had the skill to fully pull them off despite some previous attempts. It'll be interesting to see what I can come up with. As for the rest of the fake, there isn't anything notable to say. I just made my usual edits, but I forgoed applying the Camera Raw Filter and the Shadow/Highlights. I felt it looked better without them. 

I'm likely going to be returning home tomorrow permanently as I'm healing rather well. Once I catch up on some work, I'll be diving more into this. I think I might create a couple more fakes of Winnick using other images from this set. If I do, I'll release them on this post and I'll update the title to reflect that. Until then, stay safe out there.
