Britney Spears Retouch Options

[markmejia]

There's been a lot of retouches in the showcase booth lately, so I thought I should post up another one of my own.

I've been dying to set up a hover-page like technic's, so here it is.

http://www.paperthin.org/retouches/britney_spears.php

If you're using IE, then sorry if the image blinks on you when you try to hover over it. Firefox users should be able to hover over it smoothly, though.

So yeah. Extreme face lift / face-o-suction, thinner eyebrows, higher tubes, slimmer body, slightly less pale skin. I have a feeling, though, that I made her a look a little anorexic. Oh well. But my overall goal was to make her look as she did in her earlier years of stardom.

Comments and criticism greatly appreciated. :)

Edit: If the hover-page isn't working for you, here are the direct links.

Dude, this retouch is absolutely amazing. I couldn't resist commenting on this one! I loved the part where you fixed her eyebrows and lifted her boobies up. Also making her stomach and arms thinner (oh, how she looks like she just went through a before and after picture during liposuction!) I think you did a really great job, and it was nice to see her not as pale as before. I really liked how you fixed the color of her lipstick, her ears (fixing the shape) and fixing the shape of her head. xD I think you did a marvelous job on making her look young again. :).

I can't see it Let me get onto firefox and I'll edit this mmkay.

Nope. I'm in firefox and I still can't see it. But I'm sure its good. Is there any possible way you can just upload the retouch to imageshack and place the link here? If not its fine

Ahah ok so you edited it before I edited this. It looks outstanding You made her look attractive! Ahah. Fantastic job

Hahaha. Well I'm relieved to know that the dramatic boobies-lift looks natural. And yeah, her brightass red lipstick stuck out too much, so I thought I should tone it way down. But thanks a lot!

There. I added the images' direct links in my original post.

holy shit, you made her look like she was a teenager again. I bet she would be happy to receive such a great photo of herself.

xD It looks amazing mark, seriously. God she just looks so much happier and looks better in the after picture.

[dustbunny]

wow her retouch picture looks really good. I like what you did with the chin

[flyestillusion]

nice retouch. the only thing that looks funny to me is her shoulders on the 'after' like they're to broad after you made her thinner. but the rest looks great!

[S-Majere]

Oh wow, you made her thin and gave her extra-perky boobs! This is brilliant, Mark!

[weed]

wow, she hasnt looked that good in a LONG time, youve really done wonders for her, i like how you made all her fatness instantly

I also see you gave her an instant facelift which she so desprately needed.

overall you did an amazing job even britney would have to kudos you on.

[technics]

Amazing! I love what you did with the body and the eyes. The only thing I would've done was add a little more color to her skin with this one. But amazing work.

[lkajsfklajskds]

omg, this is flawless.
my fave part of it all is the body! you slimmed her down and bad her boobs better.
yay!

[markmejia]

Thanks guys.

Oh yeah, I really wanted to full-blast the tan I gave her, but it didn't look too natural, so I had to lower the opacity to this. Do you have any skin tone enhancing methods you can suggest? :\

[none345678]

wow! the body and eyebrows are my favorite part

[technics]

Thanks guys.

Selective coloring works well. I just usually mess with the reds and yellows. Hope it helps.

[superstitious]

Most excellent retouch.

I'll post an update soon.

Thanks Toby, haha.

I hope you're not mad that I used PT. I know I should've asked you first, but I can't go on AIM, and yeah. And now that I'm apologizing, I'll also admit that I stored an mp3 file of my singing on there for cB Idol. XD

[Joss-eh-lime]

i miss the old britney!

[bijou]

I agree.

I liked the raised brow but it could be fixed up a bit too, it's a bit blurry and the arch could be a bit better. The hair is untouched; it's brassy and she has wisps at her hairline in the middle. I would have made her left breast look a bit more even with the right. The way the light hits it, it looks a bit deflated.

The improved jawline, eyes, waist and arms are very good. And the skin still looks like skin, it's not plastified. She looks much better, she's uber pale in the original. Really nice job!

Thanks a lot. Thanks for the advice as well; I'll open the image back up on Photoshop later to check it out.

[Heathasm]

[absinthe]

I like it. The only thing that bothers me is how chunky her neck looks. XD!

[anzbex]

[foxx]
