I call this a "Double Trouble Special"

 

Apologies for the delay on this one. I was busier than I thought I would be last week. Between work and personal favors for my family, I had little to no time to work on anything here. Hell, I'm still going to be somewhat busy for the next few days, but I really wanted to get something out. So I decided that I would only do two fakes for this post, but I would compensate with a pair of celebrities for each. I'm not going to lie, despite the fakes being relatively simple, I'm really happy with the results.

I wanted to spice things up with who the subjects would be, and for the first one, the pair of Margot and Samara came to mind instantly. It has been a while since I've faked Robbie, and I've never faked Weaving before, and given that they could practically be sisters with how similar they are, this is one I felt I had to do. The only part I had issue was with their hair-particularly where it meets. Given how I rely on AI for the hair in every fake I do using the Remove Tool and FaceApp, it was rather difficult to create a natural divide between the two as the AI only sees it as one (if that makes any sense). I think I managed it well enough, but maybe just don't look too closely at it.

Next, I found a good image of Lena Paul to use, so I knew that Elizabeth Olsen was obvious choice for the next fake. The question was who exactly was I going to pair with her. ScarJo was a natural choice, but one that has been done to death. Willa was my favorite choice because that is a pairing worthy of many goon sessions. There was one of the two of them made by PronFakes (I believe) way back in the day, and to say that activated the neurons in my lizard brain doesn't do it justice. However, I didn't want to fall back on the favorites like usual; so I needed to think of someone I've never done who would pair well. Then it hit me, The MCU's new favorite milf after Wanda: The Invisible Woman Susan Storm-Richards, played by Vanessa Kirby, was the perfect choice for this fake. What else can I say? It turned out great. In particular, I had to make the model-Abella Danger-more pale for this to work. I've had troubles in the past trying this in my numerous failed attempts to make a ASOIAF fake, but it actually worked with this one with only a few edits with hue/saturation and selective color adjustment layers. I'm thinking I was just overthinking the process before, so I'll be giving the ASOIAF fake another shot when I have the time. There are other issue with that one, but I'm sure I can work those out eventually. Here's hoping that works out.

If I manage to squeeze more fakes out here soon, it will most definitely be around the end of the week. Otherwise, expect the next post around next week. Until then, enjoy these fakes, and as always, stay safe out there.
