Great method actors like Emma Watson (of Harry Potter fame) will embed themselves so deeply in a role that they will look, dress and act in part non-stop for the duration of filming, even when the cameras aren't rolling.
Now as Emma Watson prepares for her most challenging role to date, 57-year-old male truck driver Roscuro in the upcoming film, The Tale of Despereaux, she asked Aviary's resident plastic surgeon Meowza to perform the emergency sexandectomy.

It's every Harry Potter fan fic writers dream come true! Here's a video of the operation:
This work made heavy use of distorting, blend modes and smoothing.

Great idea Zach. We've been having so much fun with the programs that we kind of honed in on silly pictures. But your suggestion is great and we'll try to showcase those types of uses.

great work meowza. that really looks good, but... could you maybe try doing some other things with Aviary. I know you guys with worth1000 and everything, that you are all about doctoring up photos, id like to see some true image generation, like buttons, wallpapers perhaps, or icons, like the ones you guys have for the various applications in aviary. that is what me, as a web designer, is most interested in. thanks, zach
