Type makes an ugly woman

Typically, I see lots of type art featuring famous people so this is a nice breath of fresh air. This simple cartoon-ish profile is made possible thanks to the curvy lines of the san-serif font. The way some of the lettering blends together, forming shapes such as the lips or wavy hair. Even alterations such as half of the letter k to create high cheek bones or the letter n cropped to form the top of an earlobe.

Manipulation of this scale seems easy but to the trained digital artist it would take effort of a large kind. Most if not all of it would have to be converted to shapes for stretching or cropping. Followed alignment and placement of each letter. The careful planning into designing this is far more challenging than creating a type montage of a living human being because 99% of them are based off existing photos or still of the subject matter. This picture had to be created out of the artist's mind first which adds some props to the talent.
