Been kicking around online for months now, lemon_lime35 re-showed it to me, I find it so soothing to watch. <333 The morph does some very interesting things to some great works -- I keep finding myself pausing mid-transform and being captivated more than that than the originals comprising it ( Read more... )

That video is awesome. And you're right... those morphing faces are done amazingly well.. it's almost spooky.

It's amazing how homogenous women are in classical paintings o_o I never realized it before, but they could all be the same woman, with a little tweaking.

There's maybe five in there that are really distinctive (one of them is seriously fugly) the rest, you're right, they're really really similar. But its kind of to be expected since most of these are based on European white women, not a lot of ethnicities covered etc.

Even so, there's a very broad spectrum of looks when it comes to European women! I think there were just standards of what a woman's face "should" look like in art back then. Cupid's bow lips, heavily-lidded eyes, oval face, thin nose...

That is true, a Spanish chick, by and large, will look nothing like a Norwegian woman.

You do realise you've just described every single 'heroine' from romance novels, right? XD CONSPIRACEEEEEEE
