Episode Art - "Family Photo" (Patreon)

(DEEP DOWN, I LOVE YOU ALL THE SAME)

----

To create the joke family photo at the end of the 'Interdimensional UFO Portal Tutorial!' episode, I used a real Kramer famiy photo from Instagram as reference and found a stock image that evokes a similar kind of idillic vibe.

I painted out the dad, replacing the missing brackground through various cloning techniques.

I then took a photo of myself outside, trying to match the lighting conditions and the pose (you can see the printed-out stock photo I was checking myself against on the stool next to me).

I composited my photo into the stock image, making minor color adjustments to get the contrast and the skin tones to match as closely as possible.

As a final step, I cloned one of the kids twice and the dog once to make it more funny in that weird sort of Internet way, ya'll know what I mean.

Andrew Kramer later confirmed via Twitter that he found the video to be hilarious and not at all creepy.
