[Graphics] Quick Solution for gender-bender

SECRET Tutorials

Hi guys, Katakatica here :D So, a few days back I recieved a quite shocking request: it was the put DO on the poster as a girl. Not having seen any edits before, I decided to make my own. I have to admit that I did it without glasses so this version is far from perfect, but the technique may be of help to you in the future, although it is pretty simple.

Step one:

Search for renders/PNGs that match in: size, position, and coloring (they can be edited, but it's still easier that way.

What I worked with are: They can be found on deviantart :P but, if you want to practice cutting, then you can cut them out, too :D

STEP TWO:

Positioning your character(s)

Just put them so the girl's image overlaps the boy's you want to make 'girly'. Be careful of resizing their images.

STEP THREE:

ADD layer mask, and erase (with a soft brush, low opacity) most of the girl's face. This is going to take quite a bit of time. Try moving the pictures around if the result you get isn't perfect :p

BE CAREFUL:

- eyebrows MAY fit both pictures, so try experimenting with them

- ERASE everything that's not needed (eg. clothes, hair, hands etc.)

BE CREATIVE: 

- skin colors don't match? COLOR COLOR COLOR.

Ideas to deal with it:

- Simply add a black and white layer on top, adjust the brightness and curves.

- Use selective coloring on both until they match

- Use gradient maps, PSDs :D OR create your own coloring :D

POSSIBLE RESULTS:

Feel free to ask me question if something wasn't clear is sounded silly. What matters, I think, is that the pics fit :D The results will get better with each try, don't worry :D

Chapter 13: Can I send in the homework as well? :3
(I actually blended, but since I usually use renders instead of blending, I guess the task should be reversed for me :P)

Chapter 5: Hi, I'm a new subscriber here lmao and I'd like to ask for an advice: I just came back from a looong hiatus and got back to rewriting my fic. I have known that my title "Rain" is so overused and I had really wanted to change it. However, I fear somehow that maybe my old subs wouldn't recognize my story or something? I had also, kind of, set the plot basing on the title already. Sooo question, do you think it's advisable to change story titles, especially when they were published long ago and when it's not even completed yet?

Chapter 5: I've got a question. What about titles that combine two different languages? No, I don't mean putting Korean in the title.
I want to start a story called "Stuk and Left in Pieces". Stuk is the Dutch word for broken.
Do you have any advice for this?
