Wongmo = Leokane = AQN = Shuffhausen = Steven Walsh?

Look at the 2 pictures....




Same shirt and tie.

( It is obvious that Wongmo's head has been put over Steven Walsh's body )

Similar clothes, true, but Walsh is far younger than Wongmo.

That I'll grant you; and a background thrown in.

EDIT: Actually the ties do look kind of similar; how hard would it be to simply change the colour? And Wongmo's shirt is a more washed red than Walsh's; I was thinking that they simply took Wongmo's head and photoshop it onto someone else's body - guess we now know who!

Well I guess I could see this if Wongmo was wearing a wig, cut and pasted shirt, colored tie, and really scrunched up his face a lot.

[Edit] Not to mention Wongmo would need a Michael Jackson bleach job.

Yeah, just noticed the touch-ups after closer inspection. The question is, why is Shuffhausen's shirt higher-res then Walsh's? (noticable on left side of pics, the shoulder.)

I think their clothes are simply the same because the PM's needed to give Wongmo a bit of a makeover from the new age guru into a more mainstream kind of guy; so the PM's simply took the Walsh image and used photoshop.

EDIT: Spelling

Hi guys, this may be just the PM's using two pics to make another, but it might also be that they are hinting at something, a link between Dr.Schuffhausen, Wongmo, and Steven Walsh...who knows? anyway I just thought it would be cool to try and mimic how they made the pic, so I did this in literally 5 minutes to see how easy it was to get something to start looking effective...It might just be the PM's making pics with no real meaning behind doing so, I'm not trying to pick apart the game, or how they do things...it really was just curiosity and a bit of fun...anyway heres the pic:

Adressing both of these, I have had a lot of experience with photo crops and different kinds of picture edits, and it is really easy to change the color, you just need to have both color scales and just click on one for the other. The high res isn't high res, they just used a smudge tool on the shirt before they pasted it on Wongmo/Schuff.

It could be that since they're using all sorts of stock photos, they just needed to give a different look to wongmo so they played around a bit. might just be nothing except our paranoia...

Okay, it's Darkshadow, not Dark Shadow. And you answered me backwards.
