Gorillas and werewolves

I've been looking at animal pictures to get some inspiration for my digital editing on faces. Not that I want to make myself look like an animal, rather animal-like. I would introduce animal features to my own face, but only through digital drawing and using elements of myself from photographs of different angles... Even though I came up with this this myself, it is not my original idea. This is where the dissertation research comes handy. Apparently, both of the photographers/artists I was researching for my dissertation - Danile Lee and Eva Lauterlein - used the same technique to create their Manimals and Chimeres.Daniel Lee was looking at a lot of animal pictures and found models that had characteristic features already, so it was easier to edit them. Lauterlein did not use animal features at all. Instead she photographed the same person from different angles and edited these faces into one. They look eery and strange after closer examination, and some of them a bit animalistic.

Also, there's this new drama series on BBC3 caleld Being Human. It 's about a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf house-sharing. It follows the now established TV drama scheme - extraordinary characters living their "normal" lives, just trying to fit in. Mysterious things happen to common people and in the centre of this is the human tragedy and family drama. Think of Lost, Heroes or any other TV series with similar build-up. Anyway, I thought it might be inspirational, but it hasn't been much...
