I took a photo of myself for the purpose of photo manipulating myself into a man. It's always interesting to speculate about yourself as the other gender, even more intriguing to actually see it manifest in a picture. I had great fun doing this and generally conclude that I make a rather dashing man.
I called my male self Michael because I know that this is the name I would have been given had I been born a boy. It turned out a damn convincing picture and I'm half considering using this in the future to temporarily convince people that I have a twin brother or something...
*Sigh*. No. Actually, I made my eyebrows a bit thicker, squared my jaw off, made my lips a little thinner and lighter, accentuated some of the folds around my eyes, put more shading on the neck to suggest and Adam's apple and slimmed my cheeks down a little bit. All of these are subtle but noticeable traits that are the genuine differences between men and women, which, to be fair, aren't that profound. The point was to make it ME but also a man - recognizably both. If you made too much of these features it would result in exaggeration and it simply wouldn't look realistic - in fact, it would look fake. What would you have done differently?
Oh shit. Well if you put it that way... I would've just cut the hair off a little, but yeah, that would probably look at little fake. I do see all that you were saying now.
Besides, whilst I could have made the hair shorter it would have looked a little unnatural - also you can't forget that guys with long hair do exist - in fact, most of my male friends have long hair and realistically if I was a guy I would keep the long hair too. Even if I would have had my hair short before, Pirates of the Caribbean would have inspired me to grow my hair. I honestly think this is what I would look like if I was a man.
Also, usually I have my hair in a slightly shorter, more styles fashion would definitely looks feminine. Soon I guess I will be having my hair cut to that again, which is why I decided to seize this opportunity and take a picture of myself with this more natural looking styles, slightly unruly... because guys with long hair tend to just let it hang rather than trying to do anything with it.
I know they can't be identical but they CAN look a hell of a lot like each other. After all, non-twin sisters might look a lot like each other despite the age difference so twins, either male or female or mixed, even if they are dizygotic twins could resemble each other a great deal. It's not that unlikely.
Scarily convincing. Haha mini perfectionist says the skin tone seems a bit odd where the beard meets the rest of the face but apart from that its fab. Also... how did you get a photo of my dad when he was young. Seriously though, it looks like him. O.O

Heehee, yeah, I know it's not perfect but at a glance it doesn't make that much of a difference. Viewed like this you can see how I did it but I think that if I just gave you the man photo and said it was a guy you wouldn't notice anything about it - it's convincing enough for you to take it at face value.
Hehe. ^_^ That must be pretty cool. Apparently my male self looks like a lot of people including Johnny Depp, a friend of a friend and also (more understandably) like my dad when he was young. Heehee.
XDD That's a pretty good CG. I got a hair cut recently, so I don't look as much like a girl as I used to. I miss having long hair T3T
