Do you still recognize her?

 

I've always wanted to change my girl's expression in certain photos but I did not want to re-do their faceups or get another head since they are very expensive. Last night, I played around in Photoshop to see if I can alter Lily's expression and how quick/ easy it will be.

 

It’s amazing what you can do and it didn't take a lot of time. I think I will continue to experiment. But everything was done in Photoshop CS5. Took less than a minute for each.

 

 

Nothing beats the original though

What are your thoughts on expression alterations?

Some fun possibilities there, now we just need a juu-yuki tutorial!

I sometimes do that too with my dolls!

Photoshop is just amazing, and I love the edit where you made her mouth small and sulking

Wow, it's incredible the way she changed expression! And she's really okay in both of them

I particularly like the evilish one.

Nice work. Like to see more of what you can come up with.

Awesome

 

Please, post some kind of tutorial. I have a vague idea how to do this but I'm not very familiar with PS.

I really like the edits. 8D

 

I think it's a thin line when altering pictures. It annoys me when people remove the joints for example or do not write that they've edited the picture. People might get confused while looking for molds.

 

But then again it offers way more creativity than plain pictures :'D And I wish there were more good edits like yours

Wow, how did you do that? Especially the eyebrows... doesn't look photoshopped at all, great job!

I think your modifications are really smoothly done!

Amazing job! Thats the perfect way to change expressions on your girl just for some photos! Love it!!!

What a fantastic work ! It's impossible to tell it has been modified. Really great !

oh wow! I Do a lot of expression modification with my resin kids, but nothing like this! O_O you changed the eye shape so cleanly! that is un real!!

 

I did a tutorial earlier this year on how I do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YnFIvYJn10

 

Not sure if it's what you're doing here, but if anyone wants to try something similar, this is how I do it ^^;
