Celestial Soul Portraits by Erial Ali. aka Really lovely photoshoppery sold as magical art.

quote:

How It Works
1. You contact Erial Ali - letting him know you wish such a portrait.

2. Erial has a phone consultation with you - where he finds out about you -
your interests, your passions, your fascinations, how you "see" yourself.

3. You send Erial a high-quality photo of yourself - an image that you feel is highly representative of "the real you". An image that represent how you like to be seen. This will be Erial's "starting point".

4. Erial meditates and "tunes into you", to "get your unique Essence".

5. Once Erial really "gets who you are", then, starting from the image you provided, he magically transforms it into a Celestial Soul Portrait of you!

6. Erial mails you a CD of this portrait. This CD is a very-high quality, very large and high-resolution digital image - enough detail to print out a VERY LARGE PRINT that looks magnificent.

7. You are then free to use that image on your website, print hi-quality photos of it, or even print hi-quality medium-size posters of it, which you can frame.
(Print shops can do this for you, or you can do it at home -
with a nice printer and photo paper.)


How it really works:

Take one lovely photo. Add lens flare, rainbow-hued highlights, lovely clip art and GIS-sourced low-res backgrounds, more lens flare, run it through a few filters, add MORE LENS FLARE... then wait a month before taking a couple of hundred bucks from the sucker for what must be less than ten minutes (lovely quality) work.

EDIT: Ooh! A self portrait.

This is probably the least lovely of the examples, even if only because it's not someone else's likenes he's taking a rainbow-hued dump on.
