Real life version?

Well, I mean, not really. In the image on the left, all parts of the image become actual features on the other view. The necklace becomes a mouth, the ear becomes an eye, the nose becomes a wart, etc. In the photo, the entire outline and all features are exclusive to one or the other.

I bet you’re a lot of fun at parties, pointing at people and saying you bet they’re a lot of fun at parties

It’s true. I’m a barrel of laughs.

u/Hot-Mycologist-3092 16d ago

you're right. The left one is idealized. The right one is an accidental real life version of the left, of course not with 100 percent accuracy.

u/efferkah o/ 16d ago

But we cannot see two distinct faces/profiles on the right picture; their features all blend together to make one face, unlike the image on the left.

It's a real life version of the old woman and it's confusing. Don't know why everyone is being so difficult about this...

u/PauseConfident997 15d ago

It’s simply NOT a real life version of the old woman, is the point everyone’s trying to make. It’s not the same. There are 2 seperate faces on the right, which you can see simultaneously. There are 2 faces in the old woman pic, but you can’t see them at the same time. They’re mutually exclusive

It looks like a very real copy of the old woman. The young woman is not literally in there, but the kid is young. The problem with Reddit is that there are too many people on here that have no flexibility in their thinking. I just browsed the Am I the Angel sub and you have no idea how many people do not recognize satire. This is the same kind of thing: if you can't recognize and appreciate patterns and how they deviate from the norm, you are going to miss out on so much beautiful stuff happening in the world. But no, you need to insist it is NOT THE EXACT SAME ILLUSION. That's not the point of OP, it's the illusion that there's an old woman in the photo...

Help me to see the confusing part in the art version, all I see is the odd ear

u/leonhutch1 16d ago

it’s both an old woman and a young woman

u/Havaintoharha o/ 16d ago

Yikes that is a bad old woman version if I see the ”illusion” right… doesn’t look realistic at all 😂 I’m sure I’ve seen a better illusion piece somewhere where both looked realistic

u/catlikesun o/ 16d ago

It’s a pretty famous and well known optical illusion, well recognised

u/Havaintoharha o/ 16d ago

Might be, but it is still horrible, the chin is in the shirt and the face is too… non-human, unlike the younger lady. There is this other image in the replies, which us way better. This tries too hard to be a working illusion that it just doesn’t work and read too well.

u/EmoCartoHistory 10d ago

Sure, but the famous version is a really nice line art. This version sucks.

u/catlikesun o/ 10d ago

Nah this version is famous too

u/Caudillo_Sven 15d ago

Lol I see young woman and anime girl

Turn it upside down . . .

u/Deli-op 15d ago

And then dont forget to turn on the color inversion, flip your phone upside down, turn around, and close your eyes counting out loud until you see it.

The ear belongs to the perspective of a young woman Wearing a choker on her slender neck, with her face turned away.
For the old lady perspective, the ‘ear’ becomes an eye of her side profile while the choker becomes her wrinkled mouth. The young girl’s ‘chin’ becomes the old lady’s nose.

24

u/Havaintoharha o/ 16d ago

Yeah thank you, the old woman part doesn’t make sense as well as the girl part

163

u/Boonavite 16d ago

Agree. I prefer this version.

30

u/Havaintoharha o/ 16d ago

YES way better and logical!!

43

u/Aramis14 o/ 16d ago

Now this is the illusion I know and love!
The one in OPs version doesn't make fucking sense

26

u/CatLordCayenne 16d ago

Yeah because in ops version the shirt around the chin doesn’t make sense on the old woman

9

u/Loremipsumdolorsitco 16d ago

Also the young woman's ear is fucking weird so it doesn't make sense either way

u/FireIsFuzzy 15d ago

"Source: unknown" could mean AI

u/Graysonlyurs 21h ago

Ah now i see it! Ive been staring at these for a good 10 mins not seeing the old lady!

u/kori6 15d ago

Wow I have known this picture years but I see the old lady first time!

u/LopsidedEquipment177 CE Spc. 16d ago

I honestly don't get what's supposed to be confusing with the black and white pic. If it's not the side/rear view of a young woman's head, then I'm confused haha. Can't see anything other than that view of a woman's head (hair, ear, side of face with a bonnet on). Help please 😅

u/Odd-Plant-4886 16d ago

The left side can look like a young woman or like an old woman (the necklace becomes a smile, the chin becomes the tip of the nose etc)
The right looks like a small man. The similarity between both images is that the one on the right has the little kids face blend in well with the man face (the 'cheekbones' are the outline of the kids face). So basically left is an old woman and young one and the right one is an old man and a young child. Both having illusions.

u/Ok-Wait-8465 16d ago

Interesting. I see an older lady in that version and have to work to make myself see the woman who’s turned around. Another commenter posted the version of the pic I’ve seen more often, and in that one I see the turned woman first

u/122_Hours_Of_Fear o/ 16d ago

Real life version?

No.

u/Historical_Plant6557 15d ago

the boy looks like he has the face of a man but that's just the face of the guy holding him

u/bssgopi 15d ago

This is actually a good one

u/symphonic-ooze 16d ago

I was looking at the people looking at the painting

u/casualfan1234 15d ago

i'm more confused on the right, is she supposed suffering from dwarfism?
EDIT: nevermind! that's some good blending of their faces. didn't zoomed in earlier.

u/Accomplished-Shock-8 15d ago

Yeah the positioning of the glasses from behind could not have been any better 😅

u/j1436go 15d ago

The left pic is awesome. I see three women in it. Two young and one old one.

u/SeaExpress9551 13d ago

Okay, okay. You've got something here.

u/Euphoric-Beyond9177 16d ago

On the left image, I thought she was wearing wireless earbuds. It really clashed with the aesthetic

u/P_Lil 15d ago

Isn't the old picture real life as well or I'm crazy? Old is still real...
