When we were first introduced to the concept of additive art I thought of a common joke relating to a series called Fate. That joke being that many of the female characters have the exact same face as one of the main characters called “Saber”. So I combined fifteen different characters with this “Saberface” into one image and as you can see there is absolutely a visible face. The only reason the face isn’t more clear is due to the difference in the source images and some lack of skill on my part.
These are the fifteen source images. It took some transforming and rotating to get the faces to overlap but it was made much simpler by the similarities in their faces.
This reminds me of Disney’s “sameface syndrome”, wherein every heroine female has a cute, soft face with a button nose. This game takes it to the next level. If you showed me the source images I would’ve thought they were all the same character! Good job highlighting this undeniable problem in Fate’s character design.
Well done for aligning the faces so well, considering such a variety in angle and position. I like the use of addition as a tool for a study, or to prove a point. I’ve only seen Fate UBW so far, but it makes me wonder where else this phenomenon could be spotted. Perhaps in the Mobile Suit Gundam series…
