Eyeball
Sorry for the late post today – it was クラスマッチ (Class Match) day today. Once a term, the kids all play against one another in their gender-split sports by homeroom. It’s like a lesser, rougher version of 運動会 (Sports Day). Way lesser. Anyway, it meant I was outside in the cold gymnasium all day long. So…here’s what I did just to see if I could: I turned my eye purple in Photoshop. Geek.
Weird, huh? The one on the left is untouched. The one on the right is obviously retouched – both the eye and my skin. I lightened myself up a bit, because the blue / cold tones of the purple clashed with my warm / orange skin. Had to go pale. Anyhoo – I just followed some random online tutorial. Is it me, or does the original eye look larger for some reason?
A few years ago, I once picked up like 5 different colors of opaque disposable contacts from the optometrist’s office which changed your eye color. Back then I remember liking the purple one, but figuring that I’d be attracting attention that I didn’t want if I wore them. (I actually liked grey the best. What is wrong with me?) I rather like my brown eyes, though, so I’m quite content. This was merely a cerebral exercise. Ok, enough with my nerditry.
