roninphy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Welcome to the Fantasy Models in Fur Thread. There are several existing related threads that discuss or comment on the edited picture gallery here at the fur den. I started this thread to discuss and show case what I call "edited portrait composites" . Perhaps the best examples of these images are produced by Tweety who has been both a pioneer of exceptional photo realistic celebritycomposites and a very positive influence in my own exploration of this photoshop fueled genera of images. The object is to explore the artistic possibilites of photo composites in a realistic fashion. Portrait composites are parody, intended as a form of satire. The intention is to poke fun at our perceptions and expectations about celebrities and others who are "public figures". There are quite a range of images in the gallery but I am interested in distinguishing 'portrait parody' from 'cartoon -like' parody usually involving interactions between several figures( this genra and these images ae specifically not the subject of this thread). What I am interested in finding out is how people react to various images in terms of the content and the associations the images evoke for various people. Let me start the ball rolling . The following three images of Famke Jansen by Tweety define a style and an examination of Famke Jansen in a photorealistic mode featuring her in a number of different furs that all reveal something about how she appears when showcasing (or perhaps showcased in)different types of fur. The images rannge fro Elle fashion to a more casual candid style http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10148/Famke_Jansen_4.jpg http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10148/Famke_Jansen_3.jpg http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10148/8.jpg Newly posted images Jessie Jane is an Adult movie actress, who has has morphed in reality as well as in this parody composite. Comparison of picture of Jessie early in her career and today suggest that she has had extensive facial and other plastic surgery. This image explores this theme and adds a black mink tube bra to the feathery mirabou jacket she was wearing in the base image. There is something surreal in her expression - unaltered in this image. http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/FMF_Jessie_Jane_mink_lingerie_.jpg A fashion style image of Yasmine Bleeth, a favorite of the FMF and Stuff readership. Though less popular today. http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/FFPP__Yasmine_Channel_fox.jpg A fashion portrait closeup exploring the intense contrast between Elene's bright blonde hair, the golden netting and the very spikey white fox fur. A study of soft and angular in a high key image. http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/normal_FMF_Elene_White_fox_.jpg A playful mixed media composite of Adult star Rita Faltoyano in the context of say a Julia Stegner fashion model runway shot. http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/FMF_Rita_Faltoyano_coyo.jpg This last one is an exploration of combination drawing and composite - this time to try to bring to life a literary character . The original image ( now much altered) was used to illustrate a Science Fiction story written by the late H.Beam Piper. For those of you who read Fantasy the character here is Polyamour from Lilith St Crow's series of novels. Here Polyamour is a redhead wearing a leather mink bustier. http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/FMF_Polyamour_mink_bustier.jpg I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

roninphy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) This one really got me :I think it is the theme and multiple alternating textures (soft and hard). Black stockings, reflective spikes of soft black mink, the black silk fringe and the the shiny black leather harness and the silver handled coiled wire whip........ (click picture or url below) http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/FMF_Erin_Wasson_black_mink_furkini.jpg By the way the base fashion image had the black leather and the "accessories" no fur though.

Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Some of these are real quality: some difficult to tell they are fakes; and some even look like paintings. I have just posted a pic of Carmen Kass (as you obviously appreciate supermodels) smoking in a lovely golden island fox...but its just a collar. Could that be morphed and mixed with golden isle fox pic and a full coat put on her? Pretty please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roninphy Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi Tweety Your two new FMF pictures are flat out fantastic! I know you like Natalie as a subject and she looks divine in her luxurious fur hat . Kate is just stunning , I like the composition and the the way you make the whole image seamless. Kate is just utterly surrounded the most appealing fur. I 'll be watching for your next post. Best Roninphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninphy Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Jessie Jane Dyed Blue mink This one was stimulated by a runway shot where the fur way outclassed the original model IMHO- so I thought that introducing adult star Jessie Jane would make the image more lively. The result is posted in the gallery and shown below (Click the picture) Cheers Roninphy Edit: Worker 11811 - Repaired broken link.

Worker 11811 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 White Fox; I already noticed that picutre. It is my belief that it was *NOT* Ronin's intention to post a full size picture. I believe it was because of a mistake in coding the tags. One wrong letter and they screw up on you. I WAS going to repair that link but I wanted to give the poster a chance to fix it himself. I didn't want to get into a "simultaneous edit" situation. I will, now, go ahead and make the change. Edit by White. Thanks Worker. Had just realized that myself. You will see my note in the back room forum that we need a little more info on this in our new rules area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninphy Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hi Guys Thanks for correcting the linking code in my previous post. I did follow what I thought were the coding rules. My making a case or keystroke error is the probable culprit here. I will PM you about the amended coding graciously supplied by Worker because on my screen it is slightly different than the guidelines you referred to. Of course it is also possible that I am just being a unwitting "Crash Test Dummy" when it comes to HTML (LOL) Thanks again All the best Roninphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I don't remember exactly what the problem was (loss of too many brain cells in my college years) but it was a very minor mistake. I think it was a missing slash mark in one of the tags. ( I think you typed "" was called for.) Minor problem. No worries. I make that mistake quite often, myself!

roninphy Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Two new FMF Danielle Lloyd and Doutzen Kroes These Fantasy models in fur explore two different current photography genres High fashion what our French friends call"haute couture" and Penthouse/ Playboy style genre. In the first image FMF and Style Model Celebrity Danielle Lloyd is crossed over into the ' Haute Couture zone" The fur and lighting in the original image were superb but the original model had a humorless expression ( akin IMHO to "I just had a case of prunes for breakfast" also her blouse was uninspiring. I thought an "improvement was called for" I hope that you like the crossover result posted in the composite images gallery here. http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/FMF_Danielle_LLoyd_Black_fox_coat_.jpg The second image does the logical reverse. http://vdsden.thefurden.com/cpgfd/albums/userpics/10364/FMF_Doutzen_Kroes_white_fox_fur.jpg Runway Supermodel Doutzen Kroes placed in a Glamour men's magazine context in this case a Playboy/ Penthouse setting and pose. No pixels were stapled, spindled or mutilated in the production of these images. Cheers Roninphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninphy Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) One satiric element of FMF images is the is the chance to visually address Hollywood Hypocracy particularly in the matter of those celebrities who have a sudden "conversion" to an anti fur position. I was thinking about this and was stimulated to write this comment by seeing Chubby's great edited image> I mean this one says it all! : Chubby's Charlize [url(click the picture to see gallery image )Working the same theme, but with a different approach I have done several Charlize in furs images over the last year or so. I am struck by the wide range of expression and mood that can be created by combining a known celebrity with a specific fur and setting. Charlize has been particularly vocal about her new allegiance to the People Eating Tasty Animals platform. It is more than a little ironic that she has previously posed in fashion magazines wearing furs. I guess I have just been playing with the notion that has yet to to become apparent to Ms Theron- She just looks better in furs ! Ah... what it must be like to have your " press agent " do your thinking for you ...... Cheers Roninphy Edited July 9, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninphy Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 FMF Kimberly Donley as a high fashion fur model (Click on image to see larger gallery image) I was struck by the possibilities in the dark/ blonde contrast in her hair and went with the subtle white and black color interplay in her silver fox coat. Kimberly appears to me to be both elegant and vibrant somehow more real world that is without the emaciated otherworldly appearance of some of todays top runway models.

roninphy Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 This one is a little bit of a double pun. Iceland has two rather large north Atlantic neighbors to the west namely Canada and the US. So when I saw an image of Esther Canada(s) I thought of the national colors of Canada (red and white) and came up with this image. Esther Canadas (Click on image to see larger Gallery image) I avoided the impulse to tack on a maple leaf for good measure ! For my American friends the double entre is here is Esther Canadas all decked out in red white and blue (eyes) for your fourth of july celebration!

Cheers Roninphy This one stirred up a little action - though not on this thread, I got a PM from an individual who thought I would enjoy a certain U tube video. Pure People Eating Tasty Animals polemical pablum. Its a nice trick that PM routing with a misleading message because the mods wiil stamp out an open post - but the PM is off the radar. Anyway small fascist minds are hard to figure. I did not send a flaming response or respond at all by PM just this public point "a thing of beauty is a joy forever " More Charlize Theron in furs ! She just looks better in furs ! Cheers Roninphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninphy Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Monica Bellucci is one of my favorite celebrities. She is an excellent actress and has demonstrated enormous dramatic range from Malena to the Matrix and beyond. As a model she has been photographed by all the contemporary greats and is an unabashed advocate of furs. In her personal appearances she often wears fur particularly rich dark sables and mink. I have just posted a new FMF of Monica Belluci in the Gallery (Click Image to see larger Gallery Image) In this image I was aiming for a more painterly effect, utilizing a darker color palate to enhance Monica's Classic features and natural brunette colors. I was seeking a way to cast her in a more alluring pose( a la the dark lady series I posted here earlier) I think her natural colors are enhanced and emphasized with her outstanding dyed dark green mink. I have posted several other Monica in furs portrait type images in the Gallery. Most are done in a Tweety influenced style casting Monica as a runway model or in a pseudo fashion editorial. My goal is to create images that are believable fakes as it were. (No sly augmentations or distortions please !) (Click Image to see larger Gallery Image) There are are more Monica Bellucci images in the Gallery search" FMF Monica Belluci"to see them all Cheers to all Roninphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
