The one where Kat & Alliah have a baby 


(Friends title reference, kudos if you got that)

Through our research and experiments blending our faces together we reminisced about those weird online generators named things like “WHAT WILL OUR BABIES LOOK LIKE *heart emojis*” or “MAKE ME BABIES dot com” you know, real high quality stuff.

That said we couldn’t forego an opportunity to try one with two of us to see what would happen with the algorithm blending our features esp if they are quite different. Alliana and I did it together. Personally I think it’s quite a cute baby but, I’m it’s parent so I might be biased. 

Was interesting to see how the algorithms tried to blend our features. Looks not unlike the “faces of the future” project in some ways, no? Our faces couln’t be more different really. Alliana’s features are much softer, her nose flatter. Almond eyes. Meanwhile I have a massive nose, big chin etc. A “bold” face for better or worse.

You can also see totally where my hat got into the photo. would like to know something about how these algorithms work actually. Default photo blending... 

Just good fun, but worthwhile fun.
