This is a gallery of “genetic portraits” made by artist Ulric Collette by Photoshopping together photos of his family members . This is a father and daughter portrait here of Daniel, 60 and Amlie, 33. Not necessarily a new idea, but definitely the most Two-Face looking execution I’ve seen. And speaking of Two-Face executions, *pointing gun* call it in the air — heads or tails. “Tails.” Too bad, you lose. “That’s not even a coin — it’s a shirt button!” Ugh, MONEY’S TIGHT RIGHT NOW. Hit the jump for several more but be sure to check out Ulric’s website for the rest.

Artist Creates ‘Genetic Portraits’ By Seamlessly Splicing Together Headshots Of Relatives

This is a gallery of well-shopped men’s magazine covers featuring Disney princes from artist Petite Tiaras (previously: princesses as fashion magazine models ). Although they’re not ALL men’s magazines because there’s a TIME and National Geographic at the end. Do men even buy magazines anymore? The last time I bought one was at the airport and only because my computer’s battery was dead the cover said there were weight-loss secrets inside. SPOILER: diet and exercise. Hit the jump for a whole bunch more.

Yes!: Poster-Size Prints Of You Riding A Dinosaur

This is small series of Pokeballs imagined by DeviantARTist wazzy88 that hint at the type of Pokemon each contains. Okay, maybe not so much hinting at as blatantly stating. Can you guess which type would come out of this one? A firecrackers type! “That isn’t a type.” Oh yeah? Well YOU aren’t my type, so there! “Oh no, I’m totally crying.” You’re gonna be. “Why?” I burnt your house down! “WHAT?!” You started this. Hit the jump for two waters, an ice, a lightning and THE POKEBALL OF TIME.

Remember Geekologie Reader Stefan Petit’s gallery of posters from the original Bioshock he recreated in Photoshop ? Well he just finished doing Bioshock 2′ s as well. Aaaaaand these are them. Man, I wish I could’ve seen Rapture in its heyday, that would’ve been the tits. Instead I have to settle for seeing THE rapture. “Soooooo…you’re not going to heaven?” What the — DOES IT LOOK LIKE I’M GOING TO HEAVEN?! I yelled at an old lady yesterday for walking with a limp. Hit the jump for a sample of the posters but be sure to check out the links to Stephan’s DeviantART/Behance pages for the complete, worthwhile set.

Bioshock 2’s In-Game Posters Recreated In Photoshop

Researchers at Dartmouth College have developed a metric to apply to altered images to address how much Photoshopping a picture has undergone, in an effort to provide more truth in advertising and prevent unhealthy body image issues. Hey, I’m 5′4″, 240-lbs and cool with that. Farid and Eric Kee, a Ph.D student in computer science at Dartmouth, published their research this week in the journal National Academy of Sciences. The tool would work on a rating scale of one to five. Farid and Kee created a base metric by analyzing and statistically measuring results from various before-and-after photos. They then correlated these findings with a study group that was asked to rank the amount of photo alteration on a scale of one (very similar) to five (very different). This numbered metric could then be algorithmically applied to photos of, say, celebrities and models to reveal just how much photo-manipulation took place. You want to know how much photo-manipulation takes place? I’ll tell you — TONS. It’s true, the last unaltered celebrity photo was actually taken in the 90’s. THE 1890’s. It was sepia-toned. Tool Reveals Which Celebs, Models Have Been Photoshopped [mashable] Thanks to Pat, who looks stunning even without photo manipulation. I’M SAYING YOU’RE HANDSOME, BRO.

This is series of paint splatter superheroes by artist Arian Noveir. Now before you go running off to the comments to complain there’s no way you could splatter paint like that, don’t. They’re DIGITAL . Although you could probably recreate them IRL with the right amount of masking. You know, if a person put their mind to it they could actually accomplish a lot with some paint splatter. One time I even delivered a baby on a bus with nothing but my own two hands and a little paint splatter . Just kidding, it was baby juice and I passed out as soon as I saw the woman’s vagina, but you get the point. The point is I’m no doctor and it’s not always cool to pretend you’re one. Hit the jump for a bunch more including Wonder Woman, the Hulk, Hellboy, Darkwing Duck (jk jk), Spiderman, Wolverine, Thor and Superman.

This is a video of the Cheers theme song set to Photoshopped pictures of Mos Eisley patrons. Not gonna lie, Most Eisley looks like my kinda place. If I don’t stand at least a 30% chance of getting stabbed in the back by a stranger I’m not interested. What can I say, I like to live dangerously. “Really? I got the feeling you just like cheap drinks.” I’ll risk my life for them! Hit the jump for the worthwhile video.

Ever wondered what a chick with a tail would look like? Congratulations, you’re probably a furry . REPENT NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. Just kidding, do whatever you want. I’m not here to judge, I’m just here to — actually, I don’t know why I’m here. Or how I even got here. Did you give me a ride ? PLEASE TELL ME IT WAS A PIGGY-BACK! This is one in a series of human/animal mashups by DeviantARTist lessthanhuman . So, what’s the ruling — sexy or no? Not gonna lie, I’m leaning towards burn it with fire. Did I say fire? I meant desire . JK JK, I meant actual fire. Or acid. Hit the jump for a couple more of lessthanhuman’s creations, including a werewolf lady that looks suspiciously like a girl I used to date (I think it’s the body hair), but if you like what you see that makes you a freak check out his DeviantART page for a whole bunch more.

Freaky: How A Lady With A Tail Might Look

Space isn’t actually colorless , I just made that up so people who only read the headline go spread misinformation and hopefully lose bets. But for the rest of you, nothing but the facts . My penis could feed an entire village for 18 months. Plus NASA uses Photoshop to manipulate shots from the Hubble Space Telescope to make us think space is actually cooler than it really is (SPOILER: I’ve been there, it’s a shit-ton of nothing). This time lapse shows how the image of NGC 3982–a spiral galaxy 68 million light-years from Earth, in the Ursa Major constellation–was made using seven grayscale images captured using three of Hubble cameras. The processing job took 10 hours of scaling, rotating, aligning, color processing and missing pixels and artifacts restoration. Scientists have to choose how to represent this information in a way that we can observe directly. Sometimes they will use a natural representation , which is very close to what we would see if we zoomed there inside the Enterprise. Other times they will choose representative color , which helps them see invisible features of the object–like those that can only be captured in infrared or ultraviolet light. And sometimes they show the image in enhanced color , a hyperrealist mode that brings a lot of hidden, subtle details. There’s 10-hours of edting packed into a 2-minute video after the jump, that talks you through the process. Basically the style of Photoshoppery depends on a particular photo’s intended use. Which, to the best of my knowledge, ranges from ‘look cool’ to ‘look really trippy’. Unfortunately, for those of you who were hoping for some insight, there was little talk of how they faked the moon landing, but my guess is in a giant underwater tank. “Like…the kind with a cannon?” *kicks you in the nuts so hard you cry sperm* Hit the jump for the informative video.
