The Celebrity X-Ray Thread

Awesome job as always C-through

 

C-through, you are the best! You should open up your own gallery!

 

Thanks - I stayed away for over a month and didn't even log into Phun after the last "discussion" because I was again a little PO'd at the way things were going. Hopefully things will change for the better, and constructive criticism can be taken for what it is, and not a slam (or just ignored completely).

I would hope that anyone that posts here would also post the original along with their modified versions so others can see what you started with, and hopefully give it a try themselves. Also full names (first and last) are important so when searching this looooong thread, images can be located without having to go manually through a lot of pages of posts.

 

Well C-through, there will always people who can't take any, and some do. Don't let it get to YOU! WE NEED YOU AND YOUR TALENT! I was having C-through withdrawals!! Don't do that again!!!

 

great work as always.. if you ever have time, a tutorial using this would be mega helpful!!

 

Excellent work as always C-Through

i've been waiting for it Opo, TY!

 

This last one is semi-fake. I could see some hint of nipples, but not enough.

 

I didn't see enough detail unfortunately - perhaps if they were higher quality, but I don't do fakes, partial or full - sorry!

C-through my friend you truely are the best at what you do. There have been people with skill who have posted on here but I really think your one of the best. Was wondering if you happened to have the time and if you found the right pic could you try a pic of ether Lacey Chabert or JLH or both. Only if you have the time and if you happened to come across the right pic of them that is. That would be outstanding if you happened to try this. Was all so wondering in all the time you've been doing this work have you ever done any of the women from TNA wrestling and if you have howed they turn out.

If you could post a reply saying if you happened to have the time or didn't have the time to try the JLH or Chabert pics or even if you know of any pics of them that would work. All so if you've ever done any of the TNA women and if have who and how did they turn out!

That would be great if you happened to try this but if you can't thats cool to. I will still enjoy like many others in here to see what pics you post next.

Keep up the great work!:-o

I don't follow wrestling, let alone the women of wrestling, but it seems that most of them that are hot eventually either end up in Playboy, or get exposed in the ring. Their celebrity status is usually limited to the core wrestling fans, and is often less than some of the current reality "stars" at least till their 15 minutes of fame is exhausted.

I've got a large group of women I always look at whenever their pics are posted in the celeb section (and elsewhere) and I'm always on the prowl for good candidates but they don't always work out, or have enough detail present to properly do a pic to my standards. I do look at most of the new celeb threads too, but primarily focus on the ones I care about as I have to be somewhat interested in them to make it worthwhile to me too.

I always look at any new JLH pics (among others) when they pop up, but she rarely gives me much to work with, unlike Britney or Jennifer Aniston. Paparazzi pics are usually the best source as they are often caught off-guard, and may not be wearing clothing that stops the bright flashes from penetrating, or they aren't wearing nipple tape/pasties when they aren't planning on being photographed. Photoshoots & red carpet events often don't yield good results unless they don't properly plan out their wardrobe, or they are intentionally wanting to show off for the publicity (they are all media whores to some extent). It also seems the longer a celeb has been "in the game" the less likely they are to slip up, and wear the wrong things that make them more exposed.

You can post requests, but more often than not the pics people want done just aren't possible, so it just clogs up the thread.

 

thanks for your reply and am looking forward your next pic.

haha.... i like the use of the word 'Enhanced'........

 

'Enhanced' in my pics is just colorized & shaded to represent what's there. The details are bought out and represented in the BCS image, but they don't look that great generally as tweaking the brightness & contrast alters the color quite a bit, so I take it further by colorizing to match the surrounding skintones, and adding shadowing as if they could be seen through to that level. I don't draw or paint anything in, but the shading & selective lightening is done with the burn & dodge tools after the details have been determined. Any colorization is done to an entire layer, and different degrees of lightness & darkness are achieved by burning & dodging as necessary. Some may argue that in the above referenced image you can't see the outline of her breasts to show what I have, but it's just a matter of going by the available data (the visible curvature of her breasts & cleavage) and essentially connecting the curves that is between them to get the natural outline of the breasts. Areola size can be picked up through subtle nuances in the shadows & surface features, and once that is determined along with nipple position, they can be colorized separately from the surrounding breast tissue to appear more lifelike.

I also use the term enhanced because it is not a true X-ray, but it is certainly derived from that process. I will usually desaturate my images to eliminate any color artifacting during the BCS X-ray process, and just like the old B&W films that have been given new life through adding color, I do the same. If you click on all three images, and cycle through them after lining them up, I think you'll be able to see that the details fit, and the key items are not just drawn in like what some others do. This is why I insist on posting the original image along with the BCS (what I consider the "proof") layer, followed by the finished product.
