Body/Morph Project NMED 1000

This was my first attempt at the 25 Years+ Image. I didn't feel like going crazy with the plastic surgery so basically I just whitened my teeth and the whites of my eyes, used the healing brush, clone stamp and blur tool to omit my zits, freckles and scars, colored my hair a slight modern tint of pink, plucked my eyebrows with the clone stamp and added a futuristic background. I did not age myself because I figured that with the cosmetic surgery available in 2035, aging can be prevented even more effectively than it is now.


Because I did not make any drastic alterations to the 25+ years image, I decided to go the aging route, making this image 45 years in the future. It was the last image that I worked on so it is slightly different than the rest of the group but I attempted to tie it in by having a blue background and using an image in which I am wearing the same outfit and have the same hairstyle. I greyed the hair by desaturating it, and I used another woman's skin with the clone stamp and a low opacity. I used the burn tool around the eyes and to create more veins in the hands as well as accenting the wrinkles of the poncho that I pasted in. I wanted to find a rocking chair or a wheelchair image that I could put behind the figure but could not find one at the right angle within the time I had.


I probably spent the most time on this image. It took me a long time to find the images for the gills and the fins and then blend them with the picture. It also took a longtime to shave the head bald. I could not really find any other underwater images that worked better with the figure so I kept the bubbles but I did center the text and stamped the fish fin pattern on to the pants.

And finally, the Cyborg. As you can see, I kept it quite simplistic. I found a motherboard image to show through the face and I changed the color of the iris' as well as making the pupils red lights. I lengthened the hair and fixed up the facial imperfections. I attached some cords and an eyepiece to the head but felt as if the image was more effective without these added accessories so I cut them. I wanted to include a power button and I found an image of the Buy Now button and so I thought it would add a new element to the image so I stamped it right on the forehead.
