My stepdaughter Jen is a Death Note fanatic. Death Note is an anime that has makes you think. In the anime is some sort of 'queer' super genius named 'L' that she is in love with. I thought wouldn't it be delightful if I played a prank with her like I do with my kids. LOL...
So I took various pictures of Death Note toys and pictures of my children and photoshopped it together so it looked like they were holding it.
.
Here is my first attempt which is not bad; so I sent it to her MySpace. It still looks out of place, because the lighting was a little bad, but Jen's greed preceded her and she started demanding for an 'L' plush. What's funny is she was convinced for over a week that her sister Ryanna has a plush toy.
.
The next image was getting better, by then I have figured out how to make the light match for both image. But, L's arm looked a little blurred and it did not look right. It didn't get as much impact as the plush but I bet it made Jen wanting something from Death Note.
.
This is the final image I sent Jen. After doing it a couple of times, I have managed to make it look right. This is my favorite pic, because it actually looks like it could be real. I sent this to Jen who lovingly sent me a few choice words I have to consider.
She is coming over today and she will know the whole truth. I wonder how she will react when she finds out about how she got duped. I'll tell youi later.
