62/365 - On A Diet

uuufffffff!!!! adorei

My first attempt at erasing my mouth. It's not very good, I lost a lot of detail and...haha, I actually took the skin from my neck, adjusted the levels and curves, pasted it over my mouth, and then worked the stamp tool. I'm sure there are better techniques to doing this.

For FF: Hello, I am on a diet! It's an experiment to see if I have enough self-control to stay away from rice and beer for a week. I'm hoping to lose five pounds :) And ooh, I've been working out, too.

And for GTWL: Natural light. I might've edited the heck out of this but all my shots are taken in natural light (because I have a sucky camera, bah) heh.

Ooh, and for TOTW: Technique!

A friend also noticed that I have a big plate. The plate wasn't centered so I had to select it with the pen tool, duplicated the layer, and then transformed it to make it bigger and a bit more centered :)

Got the measuring tape idea here and the texture is from here.

Explored, thanks! <3

The no lip and intense eye look is creeping me out in a good way. No rice and beer for a week?! That's like hell.

This is great. Your expression is pure frustration, and the tape on the plate says it all. Nice texture/tones, as well, fits the mood. Well done!

No rice? That's insane?! D:
Good luck with your experiment, but I don't think you need to lose any weight. Great processing. Blurring out body parts can be a total pain. XD
I like your method more than mine: Heal for like 30 minutes....

you can delete your mouth if you take the skin from near of your lips and paste it over and over.. its like 1000 of layers, but it works lol

i like the idea btw

helgasms! says:

I know! And I dont know which one's harder to resist: rice or beer =p

Hee, thank you. I just dont want to have "I feel fat days!" (I think this is the aftershock of last week's PMS).

Haha, I was actually going for sad and not mad but I guess I'm not consciously capable of making a sad face!

Thanks, everyone <3

No way!!! No rice??? I might believe no beer but rice? What will you eat for a week then? And don't say noodles because its like the same thing lol

I've always wanted to do something like this but laziness wins a lot of the time.
