Title: What Might Have Been
Post by: Jamie-o on May 22, 2010, 01:59:51 AM
I was thinking the other day about the problems inherent in attempting Stealth, and one thing I thought about was the lack of childhood photos.  So, just for fun, I decided to see if I could doctor a couple of pictures to make them less obviously girly.  Here's my first, ham-handed attempt, before and after:

So, let's see your photo manipulation skills put to use.  What might you have looked like, if you'd been born in the right body?

Hell I don't really have any childhood photos anyway.

Although, the girl I'm seeing now came over yesterday to visit me and I showed her my father's art gallery. "And this one is me as a child with my mother looking over me... Uhm, I looked different then, obviously. Huh, note to self, careful on that one's back story."

She already knows about me, so she laughed.

All photos of me were burned in a house fire.  Oops.  Curiously, all pics of my siblings remain, and my one missing sister....

LOL

I doctored a pic of me as a toddler (the shirt) where I have a distinctly  mad face.  I suck at photoshop though.

I was lucky to always have pretty short hair, though not a boyish cut.  Oh well.

I was in junior high before I was allowed to grow my hair. That is when I got more choice in clothing too. I go to pick which color of shoes I was getting.

I was lucky enough to be allowed to have a boy hair cut and wear boy clothes more often then not, but  the pictures where I was forced to dress girly (like for holiday gatherings and such) all have magically disappeared  :icon_suspicious:

I think that's believable enough.  He does kinda look like you.

I kind of cheated by just cropping the pink shoelaces out all together! :P

I saw that photo on DA (the dragon.) I love that one.

Oh, and my photo doctoring skills are trash. So I probably won't bother.

I really like to photograph/ photoshop in my spare time... And coincidentally, a lot of it has been manipulating myself to see what I would look like as a female (whether if I was born naturally a girl, had to have ffs from my current state, etc).  I saw this thread and thought that I would pop in two pics I have manipulated to make myself female *I removed the backgrounds for identity purposes.  But, I think you get the idea:

This is what I think I would look like around age 16-17, and I added a bikini:

And this one would be around what I would look like age 13-14:

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1032.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa402%2Fforallittook%2Fsusnsi.jpg&hash=55dfb160cb68437e71fe5faaa01e0951400fd984)

Obviously, these have been photoshopped really heavily!! But, hopefully this would provide some 'stealth' cover if I ever did so... :) I think the two pics look a little bit like different people, but that is just because I used different styles for the editing

Wow.  You're really good at that!  And you would have been a very pretty girl.
