FELT INSPIRED, HERE ARE SOME MORE FAKES...

 

Like the title says, I felt inspired to make more fakes just for the fun and it and overcome some interesting challenges with them. I am extremely happy with how all of these turned out. I feel comfortable saying that I have achieved that desired high resolution look after years of trying to figure it out how to do it myself. I think they are still some minor techniques I haven't learned to make them better, but I feel these are almost on the level of Zen's work in terms of resolution and filter quality. I hope you guys see that as well.

I won't go into detail on these too much. There's only one that I really want to talk about. I am of course talking about the Cara fake. It was easily one of the more unique challenges I decided to put on myself. I won't lie, I didn't believe in myself enough to think I could make it work. But goddamn, I think I did it; between the angle, the hair, and the overall quality, this could've gone wrong in so many ways. However, I overcame it all with technique and a helpful hand from AI (the original subject-Alex Grey-is a bright blonde, so altering every strand to match the dark brown required some creative use of Adobe Firefly 3, Hue/Saturation, and Selective Color adjustment layers). After all was said and done, I was proud of what I had created.

Speaking of what I created, I want to address something. Someone decided to remove the logo from my last Daddario and Moretz fakes to pass off as their own on ImageFap and CFake. Now look, if it's on some backwater forum, it's whatever. If you want to put it in a gallery of your own or just want to upload it to a place I don't upload to, that is also fine. But when you try and discredit the work I put into making them by removing my branding, you start to build resentment within me-resentment that often leads to other talented fakers to quit. There are so few of us left, and we should celebrate each other's work-not diminish it by removing branding or using them for poorly done faceswaps. Sadly, there isn't much one can do to get them removed, so I simply have to speak out against it given the proper platform. I know this won't stop it from happening, but I couldn't not speak up about it. I will warn you guys, if it gets to the point where it is blatant and no one seems to care, then I will probably decide to go private and only make these for myself. Hopefully it never gets to that point, but only time will tell.

Well, with all that said, I hope you enjoy these fakes, and as always, stay safe out there.
