I thought this would be a fun competition for those that are even mildly photoshop/MSPaint skilled.
For those of you not familiar with "If They Mated", <a href="http://www.nbc.com/nbc/Late_Night_with_Conan_OBrien/iftheymated/"> it's a piece that Conan O'Brien does on his late night show</a>. He takes two celebrities that are tied together somehow in the news, tabloids, etc... and merges(photoshops) their pictures together to show what their "offspring" would look like. Sometimes they don't do any photoshopping and show another celebrity, like if Hillary Clinton and Tony Blair mated they might show the offspring as Al Sharpton or Carrot Top.
For the first round of this competition, I'll need people to submit their photos that they want "mated". There are only a few guidelines for the photos:
- The pictures should be EoFF appropriate and should be a clean, relatively straight-on shot of your face/head so it is easy to "mate" with another person's face. See below for examples of good and bad submission photos.
- The photos must be of yourself. You can't submit pictures of other people.
- Try to make the submission photos as high quality as possible. A fuzzy, 100 pixel by 100 pixel face of you in the middle of a crowd will be hard for someone to work with which means no one will probably use your photo. That's no fun.
- Each person may submit up to two photos of themselves to add a little variety to the competition.

As this isn't an official competition or event, I'll accept photos until they finish trickling in and then move onto the mating part. To submit photos, feel free to either host them on your webspace and provide the link or attach the images to a post. Please try to avoid displaying the picture in-post if it's a high quality because I hate huge images that take up the entire screen and it's my contest and I can make my own rules up.
