One of my favorites here. Leah Remini is just HOT! I changed the background using the Hue slider with some Saturation. Then I faded a Paul Stanley emblem into the wall. Just turned down the Opacity and erased some of the overlaps off of Leah's body. A tough job, but someone had to do it! Added a quick tattoo on the shoulder and applied the greasepaint. The text was done using an effect I created in the One Clickers Styles for Photoshop set for sale here on Digital Tropic.

 

Buffy the Demon Slayer was the image I used to do the Tutorial on how to make your own Celebrity in KISS Makeup. Actually pretty easy on this one. I change the tone of the background to more of a red. Put a Gene Simmons face against the background and applied the famous makeup.

 

This one actually turned out to be a lot of fun to do. I started off by changing the Levels to give the overall picture a better colorful look. I used the clone tool to get rid of the Maxim info at the top. I then just cropped off the stuff at the bottom. I then placed the Ace Frehley poster behind the couch using masking over the corner of the couch. I then added the album on the couch and guitar leaning up against the wall. Pretty easy stuff. I then changed Jessica's outfit to be a dark blue instead of black to fit more with the Ace theme. I then proceeded to paint the face. All I can say is what a hotty.

 

A couple of cool techniques were used in this one. As you can see I changed the background to purple. I did this duplicating the original layer then using Colorize in the Hue Adjustment tool. Then I just used the eraser brush with to erase the top layer and let the purple shine through. Looks as if there is a purple light on her backside. I also used the Overlay on the tattoos so they look like skin. Overall a very easy transformation. I wasn't totally happy with the makeup, but its ok enough to use for the KISS Freaks feature.

 

Really another very fun one. Is she a knockout or what? Anyway, besides the makeup I removed the microphone and replaced it with an Ace Frehley Epiphone guitar. Gave it a little electricity using Xenofex filter. I also removed the background using the Extract feature in Photoshop to eliminate it and the wording. I then created a similar and more technical looking background and created new lettering. The parts where the hands overlap the guitar were done using a mask, copy and paste. Then I just got in close to clean it up.

 

This one was a lot of fun. I changed the color to a brighter blue really make the image stand out by using the Brightness/Contrast function. I then created the makeup and added some depth to the face. Then for the lettering I used the same technique that I used in the Neon Text Tutorial on this site. I think it turned out rather well.

 

Not a whole lot was done to this one. Basically just added the makeup and a name title at the bottom. Mariah rocks without a lot of work.

 

This hot photo of the stars of X-Files seemed like the perfect fit for the Celebrities in KISS Makeup feature at KISS Freaks. Not my best work, but I think its ok. I was pretty happy with Gillian, but David I feel could have been better. Anyway, after changing the background to give it more color I began to transform each actor. Nothing really special here just a makeup job.

 

James Gandolfini is the star of the current hit series on HBO, The Sopranos. Again another image for the KISS Freaks site feature, Celebrities in KISS Makeup. I really kept only one thing from the original image to the left, the actor himself. All of the rest I just recreated in Photoshop 6. Not very difficult at all.

 

Cindy Margolis was the star for the March 2001 Celebrities in KISS Makeup at KISS Freaks. Cut the background & recolored the outfit to resemble a more gold look. Then we took the cover of KISS Hot In the Shade album from 1990 and used the Spinx in the background. After giving the background a little texture there was nothing to do expect add Cindy's incorrectly spelled name. Yeah I know I spelled it wrong. I will correct it soon.

 

Nicole Kidman was the victim of the February 2001 version of Celebrities in KISS Makeup for KISS Freaks. I really liked the original picture, so I thought I could turn it into something cool for the Celebs feature. Removed the background, painted her up and added a few graphics. What a hotty!

 

The new Charlies Angels sparked this idea. Another one for the Celebrities in KISS Makeup at KISS Freaks. The idea is I wanted to combine a couple of their movie posters to create a cool image. The best picture I could find included the Producer. So I thought I would take him out and put me in. The KISS Freaks Angels!

 

Jennifer Love Hewitt was another of the Celebrities in KISS Makeup I did for my KISS Freaks site. This picture lacked the color and impact I wanted. So I made the background a brighter red. Her dress color kinda sucked too. So I changed that to green. Over all I changed about all of the colors. Of course I added the KISS makeup also. I think it turned out great. One of the first ones I did.

 

Carmen Electra is one of the Celebrities in KISS Makeup I did for my feature at my KISS Freaks site. As you can see before is a very plain boring Carmen. If thats possible! :) Then on the right she is transformed into a major KISS fan. Not bad huh?

 

The before bulldog clipart was found on Art Today. Great site by the way. The after on the right is after some editing in Photoshop. My idea, make him look bigger and friendlier. So I flipped him, made him smile and gave him some highlights to make him look more animated. Once completed I used the graphic for a website interface.
