Salon - - Pixelated Celebrities Game

Ok, I stole this idea from here, but that's ok because he stole if from another site

Here's the idea:
Look at the heavily pixelated image, guess who it is. You don't have to post an image, just a guess. Winner gets to post the next image for everyone else to guess, then the next winner posts a pixelated image, etc.

It's a famous person, in a relatively-famous image.

(in case future winners can't figure out how to pixelate, it's Filter>Pixelate>Mosaic. And don't forget to rename your file so the filename doesn't give it away)

This one isn't all that pixelated, if it gets guessed too quickly the next one can be a bit more pixelated.

Humphrey Bogart?

Looks like you two were typing at the same moment, but Hephaestos hit "Submit Reply" first

I made this far too easy. It's your turn, Hephaestos.

I think it was plenty pixelated enough, just a pretty famous portrait as you said.

So I'll give this a shot.

I don't know about everyone else, but I could use a hint

Kind of hard to gauge how tough to make these.

Here's a copy with a bit more definition.

Candice Bergin?

Hephaestos · #9 01-31-2005, 03:01 PM

Nope.

Good try though I think.

When I showed it to my SO she guessed Princess Di, which while also incorrect I thought was pretty close considering.

The first one had ten-pixel pixels and the new one six, because I thought five looked like a dead giveaway but maybe not. I'd never seen this picture of the subject before I hunted it up the other day for the contest.

Boy George?

Janet Petty · #11 01-31-2005, 05:04 PM

Putting my foot in my mouth here and guessing (with your clue) Sarah Ferguson maybe?

Scarlett Johansson?

Hephaestos · #13 01-31-2005, 05:25 PM

Nope on all three counts.

Moving it down to four pixels...

Hephaestos · #14 01-31-2005, 05:31 PM

(Which, unfortunately, looks even more like Scarlett Johansson, good guess.)

Doug Nelson · #15 01-31-2005, 06:13 PM

Brooke Shields? (I'm starting to worry I won't know who it is even after it's been correctly guessed)
