#faceclaims are both fun & agony SKGHKJSDH

[lilakennedy]

How did you do the face claims for your OCs? I made mine in HeroMachine 3, but I would like to see who the closest looking people out there are to them. Did you find a special website or something to do it?

oh!! i actually found most of mine (if not all) on Pinterest! 

just search up very basic appearance points (hair color/style, eye color etc) and then click through results and their recommendations! it took me...months to find some, because most of my facelcaims i stumbled across at random on my startpage! 

personally, it’s rare to find something on a first, direct search and usually the gems are hidden in the recommended that’ll get thrown at your startpage after the initial search.

or you might find an account that has a board/section dedicated to random faceclaims! like this one!

another way to get faceclaims/lookalikes that i know but don’t use a lot - are tumblr blogs!! 

here are some faceclaim resources on tumblr:  x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x 

and one more option - in my opinion the hardest to get right - is Artbreeder!

Artbreeder allows you to mess with all kinds of settings and create a portait! either realistic or stylized!

the mechanics can be tough to get a hang of, but once you got a basic understanding of all the settings/functions you can make some really decent faceclaims!! 

i have faceclaims for most my OCs already but i made some of mine for the fun, to see how close i could get to their actual appearance. 

if anyone wants to use artbreeder and/or struggles with it, i would love to help out! i’m not perfect with it but i at least know how to get past the terrifying abominations you can accidentally make,,,
