How to add sideburns to Mauer's cyberface.

[Homer]

okay, i've looked at your mauer mod, and as i've said before, you will just need to practice and learn how to blend better. one thing, see how the eyes are filled in with the flesh color? you need to do that to yours. secondly, looking at your texture, i notice that it's very smooth around the borders where you tried to blend. look below, you'll see the original mauer face and the mauer face where i added sideburns. i'm posting a bunch of pictures to show you how to do it. in the process, i am hoping you get some tips on how to blend things better. the less you have to use the smudge tool or the paintbrush, the better your texture will look. as you can see, your current face looks blurry in the game around the edges where you blended. in order to prevent this, you have to maintain the the textures as much as possible, either through the eraser or through the stamp tool, or the clone tool instead of the smudge and paintbrush tools.

i have many more tricks, but unfortunately i can't put a whole tutorial together of how i do everything. i wish i had fraps, but even with it, i still need captions. so this will have to do to start:

now, to the tutorial:

anyhow, this is obviously not comprehensive in making a cyberface. so just keep practicing. the more of you guys that can make quality faces the better.

well damn, we should've titled it "How to add sideburns to kbbaseball's cyberface"

well, i hope at least someone will learn from this. or at least realize how easy it is to sample something from another face, such as hair.

oh, i guess i should've added a preview of this too. i never actually tested it in game until now. again, i still like the original mauer face, it just needs a little re-shaping.
