Skintimate: Forearm Funk

Skintimate PSD
Hmm, if only we knew who did this we could ask them how the model lost most of her forearm. I'm leaning towards a previous shaving ad photo shoot getting out of hand.

HEEHEE!
FIRST
(my girlfriend can do that!)

B Dubs said...

It appears that both her left arm AND her left leg were involved in that accident.

PhysioProf said...

She clearly had part of her left forearm surgically removed and inserted into her right forearm.

photos said...

She's a hybrid with square arms...

Nothing PsD here...

David Feingold said...

She can touch her toes without bending over.

weebesom said...

Please, no more "my girlfriend can do that" comments.

Frithstool said...

That is just so many different levels of FAIL.

David said...

Aw, come on, it's all completely obscured by her left knee. Who knows what's going on down there? Her whole left arm could be hidden behind her left calf while her friendly shaving midget is stretching up with the razor. There are all kinds of perfectly rational explanations for this apparent train wreck.

ambrmerlinus said...

I'm more concerned with what happened to the arch of her foot.

Vance Maverick said...

I, for one, find the everlasting "my GF" comments very funny. True, we don't need more than a couple of them per post.

Blissful Builder said...

Her left thigh also looks like it came from a different person entirely because it is almost perfectly cylindrical, unlike her right thigh that looks almost human.

Why do this? How hard is it to just take a photo of a human model who is shaving her leg?

VW: Pesse (pretty much says it all)

Current Resident said...

Girls*, do you ever giggle in ecstasy while shaving your legs, like this model?

(*and any guys who shave their legs)

Doral said...

Her feet are not in proportion. Even if her leg was obscuring her arm , it would still leave her forearm short in proportion to the rest of her body.

@current resident: that's not a giggle face; it's a satisfaction face: exactly the same expression a guy would have after a particularly satisfying fart.

Who's shrunken head is on the dressing table?

gods dj said...

Looks a bit like Bill Clinton's.

Howard said...

I think the pickled shrunken head belongs to the voodoo man who gave her the short arm in the first place. "Hell hath no fury etc. . ." That's why she's laughing.

zobabe said...

Looks like she shaved off her tan, too. Oops!

talesofawellfedgraphicdesigner said...

I wonder why it's so hard to have an actual woman sit on a bathtub and take some photos of her. Surely Skintimate makes enough money off of their overpriced smelly shaving gel to hire a photographer and a model.

Brandy said...

I think the parts of her left arm are actually added on to her right arm! Yes, models are long, lean and willowy, but dang! Girlfriend got some loooong arm there!

Evergrey said...

I did not know M.C. Escher made bath tubs!

Fuzzy Duck said...

Forget her left forearm, how is she managing to levitate out of her bathtub?

Anna said...

She has her forearm removed and that's why she's crying...

bunnywuffles said...

I would think it is nigh on impossible to sit on one of those bathtubs in that position. They are a lot deeper than is suggested by her right foot.

Anyway, the water is running, it would be far too slippery to balance on such a narrow ledge with one foot off the base of the tub and the other on tiptoes.

And who has a bath dressed in sexay underwear? That lovely silk will surely shrink and she will never be able to wear it again :(

And in any event, who, WHO thinks shaving their legs is an event worthy of bursting into spontaneous laughter while (supposedly) alone in the bathtub?

Gah, do I demand too much realism from my adverts?

wv: boollies
Am I being a boollie to the amateur designers?

Rob said...

I don't normally like to make "not a disaster" posts, as they invariably make the poster look like a doofus, but isn't her forearm just angled towards the camera a bit and therefore foreshortened? (i.e. her elbow is some distance behind her knee, not right pressed against it)

It just doesn't look unnatural to me. The fact that her arse is levitating off the bathtub is a different matter, of course.

Ryan said...

Forget about her, what's with the tiny creepy ghost-like figure on the mirror-desk behind her (right above the razor in her hand). Looks like a ghost of Burt Reynolds (even though he's still alive).

Does anyone else see that?

Charlie said...

I am not a photo design person or pro photographer... but this happens often enough, I just have to ask... why do these people feel they have to alter body parts like this? Is there something I am missing. Why not just put photo in with some blemish retouching or something like that? Why is this type of altering even considered? Sorry for being dense. Just have no idea.

Nina said...

@ Fuzzy Duck: By getting rid of all the fuzzy, heavily soaked hair on her legs. That's also why she's ecstatically laughing like that. Wouldn't you?

LiveStrong said...

Have you guys ever heard of 3D perspective? There's nothing wrong with this picture...

Rob said...

Ryan - that's not Burt Reynolds, it's Statler from the Muppet Show.

Archimer said...

@ Bunnywuffles: "And who has a bath dressed in sexay underwear? That lovely silk will surely shrink and she will never be able to wear it again :("

Clearly, she bought it one size too big and is trying to shrink it down to size! No problem here, not at all! :D

Check out the photographers website.

The guy is awful.

Pheeets said...

@LiveStrong: Actually I'm very well-versed in 3D perspective, as well as anatomy, and I imagine many people who post here are too. That's exactly why this looks so wrong to us, and not just for the arm. Her foot and the way she's "sitting" on that tub are also way off. "3D perspective" doesn't explain this disaster. That model was obviously mangled, copied and pasted into that tub by an amateur.

Button Ginger said...

Thanks for the link which takes us to the artistes who want credit for this.

Three people think this is soooooo amazing that they want to be associated with it.

Including a photographer.

Wow.

Kasey said...

Some women prefer to shave on the edge of the tub like this, so the clothes don't bother me. I've never been that happy to shave my legs, though.

Samara Alice said...

Ok this is pure crap.

BUT for everyone that everytime complain about oh how easier it would be to make someone just pose for the pics: guys, the company just send you some awful pics (if you are lucky. otherwise it will be just a 'concept') and a bit of text, you have to put it together in some hours. END.

Want to hire a model and a photographer and pay them? go for it. Companies find it's cheaper to hire YOU to create something from nothing (or from random stock photos)

OMG. I followed that link - check this one out:

http://www.briankuhlmann.com/#a=0&at=0&mi=111&pt=1&pi=10000&s=9&p=0

It should be under Fashion, Book 1 and is image number 10 if the link doesn't take you directly there. What is going on with those legs?!

Garik said...

I think that shaving foam is also pasted over her leg.

Morgan said...

I don't think you're supposed to be able to reach your knees from a standing position.

roballen said...

I would also like to point out that shaving one's legs is not that much fun. Definitely does not warrant the laugh of joy the model is experiencing.

Or...perhaps she is grimacing in pain from the operation to drastically shorten her forearm.

WV: diefir. As in: I'd diefir summa that there Skintimate.

Olga Benário Prestes said...

Looks like a giant woman in a dwarf's restroom.

psd fail

kamcuat said...

She’s probably shrinking along with the room an Alice in shaving land see she’s super happy to shave! Less leg to work on lol

Rose said...

Did anyone else notice the leg of the desk is curving mysteriously towards the girl?
