How to add realistic tattoo in photoshop | fake tattoo tutorial in photo...

[thesoundofaghost-mp3]

May's tutorial on how to take 2000s looking pics! This is not just for scene and/or emo kids, although ofcourse yall can use this!

Here are a few things you can do to make pictures look like they were taken in the 2000s!

What better way to look 2000s than when you use 2000s technology?

Exemples of things you could take a pic with are: an ipod, or any mp3 player actually, 2000s looking cd players, PS2 controllers (make sure it actually looks like you're playing or believe me, someone will notice!) or xbox controller (if you use older consoles of any type, the vibe might look more 90s but if you manage you can still make it work)

If you can't take a picture next to or with 2000s technology... anything? Well maybe you can take a selfie with a fliphone, or a T Mobile Sidekick (if you have one, lucky you!) or even a Nintendo DS if you've got one of those with the camera! Mirror selfies were also a thing of the (mid?) 2000s if they were taken with an actual camera! Let's also not forget the webcam pictures!

Here's one I took for example:

Special "effects"/ Editing:

One thing that makes almost all pictures look so much more aesthetic/better: putting the flash on! I promise it works almost all of the time, the picture will look more high quality and clearer even though it is the same quality as without! If you think your outfit might not be too great or you'd like to make it look like it was taken with a low quality phone, blur the picture! It could also just look artistic, which works just as good.

As for the editing, Glitter, like edits made on Blingee, turning up the contrast, putting a filter (or a few) that give off a blue hue or darker, add in your FriendProject profile number, or your nickname in a grungy font, or photoshop yourself in front of a cute butterfly background!

The poses and angles!

Taking a picture with only this information might not be enough to make it look as 2000s as you want it to be, so now let's see another thing; the poses and the angles! Especially when you take a selfie, do not understimate the power of the "myspace angle" as you might've heard before, the super high angle from which you take the selfie, in which you could include your whole outfit. I know, out of experience, that the position in which you have to try and stand to get your whole outfit in the picture is very, VERY uncomfortable, but trust me it's worth it!

Here's an example:

Other angles/poses you could use are for example the ones in which you position the camera, phone or whatever you take your pictures with at your feet, put a timer or make someone take the picture for you, in an angle at which your feet will look bigger than your head and your whole outfit will be visible again! This one's hard to explain but here's an example, again from one of my pics because I couldn't find one from someone else: (putting "myspace picture big feet" on google, does in fact, not work)

Shoutouts from most known myspace celebs were a big thing back then, with the name of someone (or their own, partly to prove they aren't catfish) written on their hand or a piece of paper, as well as showing off fake tattoos made with sharpies, or something like "I love you!" on the palm of your head, so standing there showing it, could, somehow be a pose? I guess so... oh well, this is still something that would've been on this list!

There are many more (like for example the ones where your legs look broken as you sit on the floor, or the one where you are showing off your room plastered with posters..) but just know not to just stand there looking lost (unless that's what you're going for), be either VERY dramatic with the poses or super casual, no in betweens or you'll probably look awkward!

Dramatic makeup and hair!

Of course... To keep on being dramatic, because the 2000s very much were, (as every decade, in their own way, but you get what I mean) hair was often in crazy colors and or haircuts! Even if you were neither emo nor scene, celebrities like Christina Aguilera or Kelly Clarkson, to Matt Tuck (that's right!) had highlights in their hair, or just dyed parts of their hair, usually blonde, black or red, but chalk haircolor exists in many colors, so go crazy on that!

See here:

Not only that but side ponytails, extensions, crimped hair, face framing bangs, spiky gelled hair etc. Even if you aren't emo or scene, your hair can cover one of your eyes for the picture!

Makeup had to be very visible, especially as a scene kid or emo kid with the overflowing amount of eyeliner, and colorful mascara or anything that you could find to be original and "artsy" really, but also for any other person! Makeup looks that were usual attire were for example: LIPGLOSS, blue, purple, white or eyeshadow, frosty pink lipstick, a lot of mascara, colorful eyeliner, rosy cheeks, or lined lips (darker on the outside) but none of that would be complete without thin eyebrows! Fake tans are also a go-to if you're feeling it!

Now, if you're too scared to use hairchalk or dye your hair, and you aren't too good at makeup, no worries, you've still got other options!

Props and accessories!

Big sunglasses.. yes, even indoors! Rimmed glasses, Colored lenses, "Bug eye" sunglasses, there are many to choose from! Scarves, very unnecessary but pretty cool looking! Hoop earrings were also in! For guys too, jewelry was often worn, for example diamond earrings, shell necklaces, as well as the typical "gangsta wear", you would've guessed it: the dollar sign necklace or chunky golden chains/necklaces. They were ofcourse not first worn during the 2000s, but they were definitely still very much worn then! Other jewelry often worn were silly bands, wristbands, kandi bracelets and necklaces. You can even wear fake piercings!

As for headwear, still many to choose from, like trucker hats, both for guys and girls and anyone who'd like to wear those, bandanas, fedora hats, (do not recommend, 80% of the time you'll look awkward, but you can't know if you're part of the 20% that could rock the look if you don't atleast try, I guess) "baker boy hats" and big huge bows for all my scene beans out there. Belts. BeLtS! A lot, too much, 3 of them, or one big one, just find whatever you have and wear the goddamn belts! Fishnets! Fingerless gloves! They were very much in, and not just for scemo kids!

Not only is it about things you can wear, but also things you can use for the picture, you can look cute while holding a plush toy, (bonus points if you've got a gloomy bear, hello kitty or gir plush!) mysterious while holding a notebook/ diary of some sort or nerdy with your favorite book, but a lot of pictures get much more fun when they are super random, for example like kiki kannibal, just casually holding a lamp in her garden...

Clothing!

Now, this one will be short as I will mainly give you guys links to some articles that talk about 2000s fashion, but here's a thing: If you're going for a very "in your face" kind of style, go fully crazy lol! Scene kids get your neon green tights or red ripped skinnies out and wear all of the colors, preps wear your shiniest Playboy logo shirt, goths and emos you better wear your nicest black knee high converse, all of it!! Go fucking over the top because truly, it was rarely ever over the top in the 2000s! Also, did I mention? Cringe culture is dead, nobody cares if you somehow manage to truly go a little too far! If you're feeling yourself, don't hesitate to show a little skin, (I don't mean totally naked, duh, especially if you're a minor plz no it's usually a very bad idea) ain't nothing wrong with mini skirts or crop tops! (guys, GUYS please wear them too if you feel like it, I promise you a lot of us think that's hot okaythatsall)

Anyway, here's a few articles on the fashion/clothes! Most of these include also accessories etc but you'll find a lot about clothes!

Includes men's clothing too!

https://www.complex.com/style/best-fashion-trends-of-early-2000s/

Yes.. I know.. Buzzfeed.. But oh well, it's still showing the clothes and fashion like we need! There isn't much for guys here, but there is inspo to take from it lol!

https://www.buzzfeed.com/leonoraepstein/forgotten-early-2000s-trends

Now, I know what this one says... apparently all of these trends were"mistakes"... Well who's gonna laugh when 2000s style makes a comeback? Definitely not them, once they look back on this article!

https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty/fashion/g2898/worst-2000s-fashion-trends/

This article includes men's fashion and also includes a link to buy the items! That is, if you've got 35$ to spend on a cap for example... Which I don't, but that's okay, it's got pretty good examples of the fashion!

https://spy.com/gallery/2000s-fashion-trends-throw-back-style/

And since I couldn't find a good article on 2000s alt fashion, I made a Pinterest board with a few exemples for Scene, Emo, Goth, Mallgoth/Goth, Visual Kei and Cybergoth! There isn't a lot yet, but you'll get the general idea :)

https://www.pinterest.fr/mayskelly/2000s-alt-styles/

I hope you guys like it, and try it! I think I may share my favorite attempts if enough people do it on my instagram story and here, and tumblr as well if anyone participates in this!

You are now welcome to start working on your creations! Please remember that while you are welcome to work on/finish them early, you may not post until the appropriate day. If you are interested in participating in the event at all, please read the text below the cut, which details important event and participation information.

Like previous SQWs, I will be making a masterlist of entries at the beginning of the week and updating it as the week progresses (generally at the end of the night). The official tag to track is #swanqueenweek, so if you would like to see things as they are posted (as I queue the entries to be reblogged), please track that tag.

Participation will also run similarly to past events, and you can read the FAQ for some of the general questions (or send me an ask/IM). Now that the prompts have been posted, you may begin working on your fanworks as soon as you’d like. While you can make them as early as today, please do not post until the appropriate day in your timezone (i.e., don’t post for day 1 until January 29th in your timezone). If you want/need to work on your creations early because you won’t be able to post them yourself, or you want them housed on the SQW blog, feel free to submit them. You can do this at any time, and I will hold on to your creation until it is time to post.

If you are interested in or planning to create some form of fanwork for the 8th SQW, please note the following guidelines on how to participate.

Anyone is eligible to participate in SQW. You don’t need to have declared participation or registered in any way. You do not need to be on tumblr, and if you post off-site, please just drop a link in the submission box (or send a fanmail message).

I will be going by EST, so no posts will be reblogged until midnight EST of each day.

If you post your creation to your blog to be reblogged here, please tag it with “swanqueenweek” in the first five tags. (I’ve seen posts that say the first five tag rule is no longer applicable, however I haven’t verified this, so to be safe please still use the main #swanqueenweek tag in the first five.)

I will make periodic announcements when the queue is full/empty so that you have an idea of if your post was seen, but you can always submit a link to the submission box to make sure I see it (if I’ve already queued your post I’ll just ignore the submission), or send me an ask/IM checking on if yours is queued. I will respond as soon as possible to let you know.

You do not have to participate in all seven days, you can pick and choose the prompts you like/are inspired by, one for each of the eight, or multiple creations for each day. Go crazy!

There are no minimums/maximums for participation.

You may make late creations and post them any time after the day of the prompt has passed (e.g., post a Day 1 creation on day 3, or a day 4 creation three days after the event has ended, etc.).

Creations can be stand-alone, or they can be connected, either by content or by post (e.g., you can make it a multi-chapter fic with each chapter being a prompt, or you can make a post that just collates all content).

There is no content restriction, but please tag your submissions with any necessary warnings/ratings/etc. to keep this a healthy environment for all!

This time, our prompts are pretty general, but as always feel free to interpret the prompt however you see fit.

You are welcome to collaborate with others. This event isn’t strictly for collaboration the way the Swan Queen Big Bang was/Supernova will be, but you are more than welcome to buddy up with someone else if you’d like.

Creations must be made specifically for this event. You may not add on to a pre-posted fic/art/etc. to fit it to the prompt. However, if there is a project you’ve been working on and it has not been posted prior to January 29th, you may use that work.

There is an AO3 collection for all Swan Queen Week creations and one specifically for the 8th SQW here. When you post, please feel free to add yours to this collection, which is linked in the sidebar of the main blog.

If you would like to participate, but don’t want to make a fanwork or don’t know how, there are plenty of other things you can do to be a part of the 8th bi-annual SQW. Below are a few suggestions:

Betaing: If you are interested in volunteering to be a beta between now and the end of the event, please let me know and I will add you to this resource list. When you send me a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what you will/won’t beta, and an estimated turn-around time.

Consultants: If you are interested in helping others either learn a new skill, or possibly serve as a sounding board for ideas, let me know and I will add you to this resource list. When you send me a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what kinds of stuff you can help with (e.g., photoshop, music suggestions, video editing, etc.).

Creating Tutorials: SQW is obviously for celebrating our favorite ladies, but it can also be an awesome catalyst to learn a new skill or pick up some new tips. If you’re feeling uninspired by the prompts but still want to participate, tutorials can be a really helpful thing for those wanting to get their toes wet.

Pimping: It seems a bit obvious, but people need to know the event is happening to be able to participate! SWEN is an ever-growing family, and our newbies need to know this is going on. Pimping out the event to other sites or on your own blog will help spread the word and let all those new to SWEN about SQW.

Excitement Posts: Are you just so excited for SQW you can’t stand it?! I don’t blame you, because our shippers definitely know how to celebrate. So, fanperson it out in a post!

Further Prompting: Maybe you have a plot bunny but no time to write it. Or you see a screencap that is just perfect, but don’t like making graphics. Send them in, and for those creators that are just a bit stuck, maybe your specific prompt will get their juices flowing. Please also feel free to send in suggestions for types of creations people could make that maybe are less obvious (e.g., fake facebook threads, fake trailers, poetry, etc.).

Just as a reminder, SQW is meant to be a fun event to flood our dashboards with Swan Queen, but it can also be a great opportunity to put yourself out there and try something new. If you don’t know how to make something, or are nervous to post, I hope you feel comfortable enough to give it a shot. (Participating in SQW is a great way to pick up some lovely SWEN followers, hint hint!)

There will be a gifset promo post like usual coming soon, but if anyone else would like to make promo posts or anything feel free to do so, and drop a link in the submission box (or tag it #swanqueenweek) and I’ll reblog it here.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, you can always contact me. Have fun planning your creations, and I can’t wait to see them!

Evaluation

Our brief was to choose a piece from the BMAG ‘I want, I want’ exhibition and develop a narrative from there to then present in a flipbook.  I chose Rachel Maclean’s Feed Me video. My final outcome is a flipbook which narrates a character going through different social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and it ends with an overload of use, throughout the emoticon on the head indicates the actual emotion of the character although her facial expression doesn’t show it. I conveyed this by having symbols from each social media popping up on the characters facing like a tattoo. As flipbooks were new to me I started to research different types and try and work how imagery can be made animated. I then researched Rachel Maclean’s Feed Me and found out the reasons why she conveyed certain themes such as paedophilia, this idea about happiness, society’s problems and consumerism and this idea we always need to be fed like greed. She took inspiration from children’s TV shows like Teletubbies. What stood out to me which I further developed was the way the characters had smiley faces indicating their emotion on their foreheads like a stamp. A part in the video where the grandma asks the granddaughter if she’s happy and she said yes however the smiley face indicated she was sad was what I was drawn to. I felt like the piece was quite disturbing in some parts and it really made you think it was difficult to sit through the whole of it as it was odd. From picking the piece I started to develop some initial ideas from the idea about fake happiness and trying to show yourself as something you are not. I thought of the flipbook having a character where on every page something was added eg makeup, clothes, waist trainer to convey this idea. I also thought of the idea of a line of puppets moving across the page suggesting everyone follows the crowd just to fit in but one who is different is actually happy. I also began picking out social media symbols which are easily recognisable this was because thinking of a narrative I felt like the way the character in the video was saying something different to how she actually feels is similar to the way social media is used as a platform where people hide who they actually are and quite often convey they are happy. At this point I was confused in which idea to further develop. During the tutorials Jo suggested that the idea of placing emoticons on the face was different and to further develop that. I then began to experiment with this idea of the character from the Feed Me video showing an opposite facial expression to the way she was actually feeling which was indicated by the emoticon on her forehead. I used pencils and pencil crayons on the eyes, mouth and emoticon for them to stand out. I experimented with Photoshop to combine the imagery which at first I found hard but I worked it out. I did actually like the outcome of this however as I liked the social media idea I started to develop placing them on the face and whilst doing this I thought how incorporating colours of the app could be effective in adding to the hair. I looked at the common features of the app and what people would recognise as I would want my audience to know which social media is which. I used watercolour to experiment with and I really liked the soft skin tones it created, as I had only used watercolour once before in the previous module I felt like my skills have improved in creating that 3d facial structure compared to last time. I used gouache and acrylic to add the symbols for them to standout. I also looked at popular Snapchat filters which are used by everyone for example the flower crown and dog filter are easily recognised and I experimented with pencil crayon for this, again like the watercolour I liked the soft tonal effect. At this point again I became a little bit stuck in how else to develop my work as I felt like in the time I had I could’ve done more. As my project is based on these symbols it linked quite well to tattoos I researched tattoos in weird places which were more jarring e.g. in the mouth, eyes etc. I experimented with acrylic paints and I really liked using them as they blended in well, although it was suggested in the tutorials that some of the colours would be a lot darker which I understood. Some things needed to be improved for example the writing on the teeth rather than just placing them there needed to form some shape so they looked as though they were actually on the teeth and same for the lips and around the hands. I considered and improved this when working on the final pieces. After the tutorial I was more confident in creating my flipbook however I found coming up with a narrative and working out how to actually create the animated imagery difficult. I felt like my first narrative idea overcomplicated when using a flipbook the details may not be necessary hence I changed my idea to keep it simple yet still be able to convey that effect of overuse of social media throughout the flipbook by adding the symbols on the face and them popping up like a notification as they do on the social media. Joel’s workshop helped in order for me to understand movement from and in between frames, I worked out how if the symbols popping up worked and changing the hair colour did. I also experimented working out the amount of frames and what movement would occur e.g. closing and opening of eyes etc. From this I finalised the idea that the flipbook would show the character using the social media and then closing her eyes and opening them to then show her switching to normal and another app. Empathy workshop helped me to identify my audience and what I needed to convey, I thought more about their interaction with the world for example as my audience were young people and social media users who could relate I began to think that in this digital world social media and phones take over lives etc  therefore having a flipbook may be different to how they usually access information when at the same time it takes the attention away from using something digital and just passing by therefore handling it physically gives them more time to process the information. However to reach the wider audience having a digital version is important as if they use their phones a lot they can access it easier. The research of the social media artists like Banksy and Asaf Hanuka showed the way social media is an addiction and placed at such high value this helped in order to see what is already conveyed and related by my audience and what works. As I used both acrylic and watercolour I wanted to experiment to see which one I would chose I liked using watercolour as I liked the soft effect it created allowing the symbols to standout. Acrylic paint was good to use although the colours were bolder so I felt that layering more paint may not allow the symbols to stand out like I wanted it to. I also experiment with paint markers for the first time which I found different to use at first I couldn’t get the blended effect I wanted however using water as a base helped it to. As I had already developed the face with symbols on it with watercolour and liked it I decided to do my final piece in the same medium. When developing the flipbook I thought about the main facial expressions that would be used and I used watercolour on the face, I left the eyes, lips and hair colour blank so that they could be changed as they would in the flipbook. I then checked whether the movement in order worked with the facial expression on a Slideshow putting them in order. Next I rotated the imagery after scanning them to fit them to do fit the hairstyle as it wouldn’t fit on the portrait version. Then I started with face with the most amount of emojis and on each other page reduced them to where there was none. I felt like this method worked to make sure there was a good pace. I did this for all of the apps. With the Facebook app it was however thinking of how to get the hair from a dark brown to white which I thought like in hair dressers it was to lighten it throughout the pages.  I also had issues when thinking of how to end the flipbook, as it was focused on this over use of social media I thought that having a mix of symbols appearing on the face so it fully covered it to create this jarring effect and make it quite uncomfortable. I also thought about changing the whole hair with different colours to show how social media was taking over the character whereas the emoticon showed her actual feeling. I felt like as I had limited time to create the flipbook I did rush the illustrations hence the hair and some of the faces didn’t come out as proportionate as I wanted them to. I liked the first few watercolour illustrations which I spent more time on were better so I realised I need to work on my time management. Also when aligning the images I felt like if I had drawn the hair as a template they would’ve been aligned a lot better to have a neater movement between frames. Also some of the imagery had different lighting which I would’ve improved the next time if I did the module again. I feel as though the idea behind the flipbook did match what I wanted to convey however the illustrations could’ve been a lot better if I had spent more time on them. Also I would’ve liked to have included more social media’s such as Youtube and Snapchat. The movement between the images could’ve been a lot tighter and if I was to do this project again I would’ve wanted to improve that. I also would’ve wanted to add more movement from the character for example her turning her head 180o and the symbols appearing on all parts of her face like I explored around the ear etc. Also with the digital version of the flipbook I would’ve wanted to experiment with adding the actual notification sounds to coincide with the popping up of each of the images so it conveyed it like it was popping up like actual notification as it does on a phone. Something I researched at the beginning of the project was the Human flipbook and I really liked how it was presented on a t-shirt so if I did do the project again I would’ve wanted to have had my illustrations on something like a t-shirt (which links to putting on this fake emotion – putting on shirt) or even think about using makeup/face paint on an actual face and photographing this. However I feel like I have learnt a lot in considering moving images and thinking about narratives and the approach I took that works is not overcomplicating my idea like I have done in previous modules.
