It’s a pretty standard exercise to see published celebrity images that have been touched up with photoshop to make the celebs appear thinner, often going to impossible limits. Well, but then not everyone likes seeing people thin. So artist David Lopera went the opposite route and decided celebrities needed to get a “bit” chubbier.

Movember is, in our opinion, a very appropriate time to play around with mustaches. Of course, celebrities ought to have the cake in the act, like this set where some celebrities were given very cool mustaches, no matter how poorly photoshopped they might appear (we’re talking to you, Willaford Brimley). But then again, we couldn’t draw a line straight in photoshop, so we’re not really the ones to judge.
During Napoleon’s invasion of Russia, English artist George Dawe painted 329 portraits of Russian military officers for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. Artist Steve Payne used digital portraits of these paintings mixed with the magic of photoshop to give celebrities their style as Russian military generals. Call it wonderful execution, but most of these celebrities appear to be rather suited in their uniforms.
Celebrities do get into renaissance style clothes for one shot or the other, but imagining a number of them in renaissance-style portraits could be an interesting take as well. These images are from Worth1000, the home of some the most interesting images on the web, and a boatload of those you tend to see in thousands of those forwarded emails.
