[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

OMFGGG AMAZINGG

lol ok so I did a little experiment with the second pic xD I fixed the shadows on her nose, changed the eye color, shortened her neck, shortened her waist and widened her hips slightly to balance the figure cuz ayu is quite proportional also just minimally smallened the lips and fixed the shadows under them, oh and I shortened her thighs....I dunno about you guys, but i can actually now look at it....

Before&after


big version of after


if they really ****ed up all these things with photoshop, and made her into some weird human creature, then I gotta say, they need to be kept away from photoretouching....

I much prefer the original >.<

^ To be honest, I don't see much difference. Ayu still looks totally inhuman to me in this picture (and the second pic is not much better).

The thing that really gets me the most is her skin. Who has a skin that's so smooth and shiny and perfect?

I don't have a problem when people use PS/Topaz Clean. I use it myself when I make graphics, but I know when to stop and that's when the person starts to look like an alien!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I don't notice much of a difference either. Really, I don't think it's that serious. Stars are photoshopped to death everyday.

[PoetGirl]

Lol at her waist/stomach. I mean, women body is not shaped like that and its ugly. I liked pics during the shooting and the final work is horrible lol.

[Kazeyomi]

To be honest, I like her hair and contact lenses too. The pics wouldn't be that bad, if they didn't been so retouched. Don't know if it's made on purpose, like a alien-siren as someone said. So it would make perfect sense imo.

The idea is great, but I don't like how her body looks on the 2nd pic.

I've edited both pictures with her natural eyes color and smaller lips (and the body on the second picture):

Dear Ayu's stylist for lands of eden,

Remember to book Miliyah Kato or Rinka for next shoot.

Remember that turning Ayu into them via photoshop makes her look like she should be covered in green blood.

Okaaayyy, bye~

and yey for @kaled's edit. That looks so great

100x better!

I second the Sunrise/Sunset cover comments. That would have been brilliant, this exact look but with a (real) beach background. Who want to make fake Sunrise/Sunset covers for iTunes?! LOL

[mi|kshake]

I agree with Ayu Love, I really like the "fantasy" look of the pics but I hate what they've done to her waist in the second pic. I know she's been working out and all but that just looks so unnatural!

EDIT: The contact lenses have really grown on me!

mi|kshake~

[TeamAyu2004]

those for the covers would of been amazing...
I think just fixing the hair would of made those covers 100x better, but oh well!

Also, the second picture where you can see her stomach really well, it looks like some fan boy had way to much time on his hands! lol

Why well done you! I like them!

[rookies]

^ These covers are so many times better than the real covers. I remember how awful the real Sunrise / Sunset covers were. :/

[Midori-chan]

I don't really understand the fairytale-concept so many people here talk about. I mean, come on, she is dress in jeans, t-shirts and a bikini.

The "forgiveness"-PV was fairytale-like.

These pics look like every other magazine-shooting in an exotic place to me. I don't see anything "magical" about them.
