I made this image edit when Arnold became Governor. It's based on a movie poster from "Pirates of the Caribbean". As you can see, I had to do a lot of work with Maria Shriver's face, both because the direction she's looking in the original image isn't 100% the way I needed it to be, and also because it is such a small .jpg image with compression artifacts. So I had to alter the face, add a skin texture layer, hand paint hair and details, fix the eye, open the mouth, etc. Much of the same process went into Arnold's face. All in all this image edit was probably a full day of work. I tried to alter the text in the original image so it would rhyme with the theme of the image edit. For instance, "The curse of the Black Pearl" is now "Of course I'll be back, girl". The image edit was slightly updated Dec. 25th. 2004.
