A few words about me for anyone
interested. I've been making nude celebrity fakes since 2002 after seeing a few fakes on the internet. I liked what I saw & decided I wanted to learn to make fakes myself. I started with a free program from a magazine cover disc (MicroGrafX) then moved onto PaintShop Pro. Now though I use Photoshop for faking. I make fakes when time and privacy permits, which isn't as often as I'd like so I don't have as many fakes as some more prolific fakirs yet. However with guest fakirs and an growing archive section there's plenty to see. Until the recent closure of The Shadow Blades forum I was a Clan Elder, admin and longest continually serving member of the Shadow Blades Faker's Guild. I was also an admin at celebfakirs.com for a while when it first opened, though that forum has also now closed . The NFC (New Fake City) is one of the main places I now like to hang out (and compete). In November 2006 Celebfakirs.com published an interview which I'd given them a month or so before. For anyone interested in knowing a little more about me, I've included the interview below...
The Interview
twoDice: Before I posted my first fake I played around with various identities, considering several aspects like getting a yahoo email addy for the name, what sort of logo I’d use etc. After discarding dozens of possibles (some didn’t sound right, some were taken) I was getting frustrated. I was quite heavily into
tabletop RPG games at the time and sitting at the PC during a break in
play, trying to come up with a name, I was throwing a couple of dice
around and thought “hey those ‘two dice’ would be easy to incorporate in
a fake as a logo”. For some reason to do with a font I was using I
decided I was gonna write it with a small “t” & Capital “D” and stuck
with it. twoDice: That was Shania Twain
by Tasty Fakes, I don’t know if Tasty Fakes was a site name or a fakir
name. twoDice: After seeing that
first fake I started looking for more. I hadn’t had a PC for long and
didn’t have a clue about newsgroups but I started to find a few and
realized there were plenty around. Finding the newsgroups opened my eyes
to just how big celeb faking really was. twoDice: I was keen to learn
image manipulation (for tweaking photos and stuff) and using naked girls
and celebs to do that appealed to me…a lot. I’ve always been keen on
naked celebs, hitting the rewind button frequently during the juicy bits
in films. I’m not at all artistic but this was a way I could create
something, even though it was only combining materials that already
existed. As soon as I tried it I was hooked. twoDice: That was Sarah Michelle Gellar, made with MicroGrafx 4 from a magazine cover disc, on a Windows Me system that had a habit of crashing almost every hour. Those were the days.
twoDice: Somewhere around the
middle of 2002, I think. I posted it on one of the faking newsgroups and
received some very positive feedback and some constructive criticism
which encouraged me to try again. Several well known fakirs were good
enough to pass on advice and tips and spent time helping with my
"works-in-progress" which proved invaluable. I learned a lot then but
faking is a continuous learning experience so I'm still learning, like
most others in this game. twoDice: I’ve been influenced
by loads of fakirs, some by the advice they’ve given me, some from the
tutorials they’ve made, some just by looking at their fakes and deciding
what effects I like. Far too many to name. I’d have to mention the guys
on Yahoo, particularly AM who’s been providing constructive help and
advice and helping me spot all the small details in my fakes for several
years, helping make me a better faker while I’ve tried to do the same in
return. Thanks bro. twoDice: Every time I think
that someone is looking like the best around, someone else posts a
flawless masterpiece which makes me rethink. I doubt any one person is
the best but there are some excellent top-notch fakirs around right now.
I don’t get to see as many fakes as I’d like so I’m probably missing
plenty. Some of my favourites are Proto, Hypo, TFP, Dr. Heinz, AM,
EvilEye, Fredd38, Mr. Owl etc twoDice:
Vincent & Proto probably. twoDice: Lots of more recent
fakirs are picking it up rapidly. A few shooting stars I’m very
impressed with include Splanky, Holden, Teeceethree, DSNY. twoDice: Hard choice but I think at the moment maybe one of my Jennifer Garner Sauna series, this one turned out pretty good.
twoDice: Joining the Shadow
Blades, winning a Player’s Player Award in KNFC3 & getting to know so
many cool people in the faking community. twoDice: When I joined the
Shadow Blades someone made me an avatar of this cool looking blue dude.
I loved it but didn’t know who it was. After asking around I found out
he’s called Dice from the Midnight Club racing games (though the body is
normally adapted from Vin Diesel). I’ve stuck with it since. twoDice: Jessica Alba, Kylie
Minogue or Kristin Kreuk. Hard to choose just one but the selection
process would be a long and enjoyable event. twoDice: Angelina Jolie for the
thrills and excitement. twoDice: Probably still faking,
hopefully a lot quicker and a lot better than now but who knows? Things
change. As long as I’m enjoying it and still learning new skills, I’ll keep doing it. twoDice: It’ll still be around
but the quality of the pictures and the tools will be so good that
almost anyone will be able to do it. Maybe there will be programs that
do it all automatically for you. Where would be the fun or skill in that
though? twoDice: Yeah, visit my
website, it’s free, lol. twoDice: Well for most people
it’s porn and that’s the way I saw it when I started. But after looking
at an image on +800 zoom it’s all just a bunch of pixels. Faking has
spoiled porn for me. Now I always think “hey, that’d be a great Bodyshot
for xxx” or “how could I use that BS?” etc rather than enjoying the porn
itself. **************************************
