quote: Also about the airbrushed covers, it's all gonna become CG anyway. It already is. My current project for school (due tonight and I should be doing it right now but here I am) is to mix paint to create skin tones from reference images - from the web, magazines. Fashion magazines are the most frustrating to find natural tones because either the light tint is strong, the image has been sepia toned, or in the case of a skin mag, the image was overexposed with a green cast (had never noticed this before). In one ad for spray-on tan, the girl's skin was carrot colored and run through a difuse filter like 43 times. Meanwhile, a respected news magazine's photographer use excessive amount of flash, washing out the subject. It seems to me that CG will soon be more real than real reality. If only I could apply post to my real-world face so that I look stunning and beautiful to everyone that sees me daily.....
