Give Mr T a Magnum PI tattoo


Recommended Posts

Well, I get close.  Remove Mr T's existing tattoo, then I match the colour tones of Mr T's arm to Magnums face, posterise Magnum, up the contrast on Magnum, then copyandpaste Magnum on to T's arm.  A couple of sweeps of 15% opaque erase allows highlights of arm to show, but then the tattoo effect fades.

How would you do it?  Ideally I'd like to erase only the lighter areas of Magnums face.  Or only paste the dark areas of Magnums face onto the arm.

Hi Nickpan,

 

This might be the my favourite ever forum post!

 

I have done a very terrible version that you can see below. I will also include the Affinity Photo file with Save With History enabled so you can see the steps I took :)

 

Don't worry if you don't like mine I think a few of my colleagues have also had a go and will be posting theirs shortly!

 

I went for the aged biker tattoo look

It's a shame the Displace filter never seems to work properly for stuff like this or you could get better results

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
