Libera members as toon characters

[Padmachou]

Someone posted on youtube a video with Libera members' photos that went through a "toon yourself" application, similar to "The Greatest Miracle".
Can you guess which boys these are ? I find some pictures really similar to the boys !
I would be surprised if you don't recognise boys number 4, 5, 10, 13, 15, 18, 22, 25 and 26

Don't forget to tell me your score ! I could not play really, for the video gives the answers, but I don't think I would have recognised the boys number 1, 6, 12, 19, 24, 27 and 30 without the photos...
Plus the app has a tendancy to change the kids' eyes color...

Very nice game, Padma!

Okay, I had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 25, 28 correct on first attempt. For 11, 12, 16. 23, 24 I needed a second try, after reading the list of the names (btw, you missed one name, but it doesn't matter, because the one who's missing is one of the two most recognisable boys IMO. ).

I'm hardly familiar with 9 and 19 yet, so I wasn't able to guess these. And I confused 14 and 29. Oh my, usually, I'm not too good at recognising faces.

I still can't recognise 26 and 30 even after knowing who these are. While many others are amazingly similar!

There is one mistake in your list: No. 27 is almost right, but it's his brother.

That was fun, thank you!

[Padmachou]

Thank you for pointing the mistakes, I rectified the names.
I'm impressed by your skills ! Did you watch the video ? I find it helps to see the picture used in the app when you can't recognise the boy.

Edit : quite understandable that you confused two brothers

[filiarheni]

I watched the video at the end, when I had all the results. And there it was interesting for example to find out that I still wouldn't recognise 26.

Edit : quite understandable that you confused two brothers

Yes, I was fooled here.

[Padmachou]

Edit : quite understandable that you confused two brothers

Yes, I was fooled here.

I had the same problem with the Collins' brothers, and it wasn't even a tooned photo
About your problem : I think they are about the same age on the pictures, that sure does NOT help ! One is supposed to be older than the other

[theriverflowson]

Thanks Padmachou, that was quite fun, although I felt the urge to immediately hit every spoiler to check if I was right

Some toons were easy to identify for me, like 5, 7 ,13, 18 and 20 - no question about them. Funnily, I had no problem to identify 1, but no idea why since it's not really close if you are honest. In some other cases it was a good way to refresh my memory by bringing together names and faces.

Interesting exercise. Most are recognisable by their hairstyle rather than their face. The ones I didn't get (and still see no resemblance) were Alex G, Joe, Luke and Sam.

[The Furby]

Great game ! Thanks Padma (and thanks djkoy who made the video )

I got them all except one - #19 (and I can't see any resemblance even now).
Some are VERY recognisable, #4, #16, #18...
I wasn't sure about #9 & #17, and like others #1 gave me a hard time.

[filiarheni]

Most are recognisable by their hairstyle rather than their face.

Right. Yet there are some whose facial expressions do confirm who they are, for example #4 or #8. Or regarding #22, whose smile was perfectly caught.

At the beginning I wasn't sure how long this goes back into the past and so I assigned #9 to Alex Leggett.

I would be surprised if you don't recognise boys number 4, 5, 10, 13, 15, 18, 22, 25 and 26

Although I'm aware of this fact, I'm always amazed how similarly and then again how differently our look at people is. You found #26 so easily and me ... still can't see him there.

Funnily, I had no problem to identify 1, but no idea why since it's not really close if you are honest.

I wasn't able to identify him for a while, but was really familiar with his posture, sitting there like this. Perhaps this was the point for you to recognise him? I just couldn't get hold of who it was out of my memory.

Where is Robert btw?

I think that is exactly why it was easy for me to recognise n°26. I guess if you are familiar with the original picture it helps. Then again, I am crossed at the app for removing freckles, that is, in my opinion, why some boys are difficult to recognise when it should be easy, and that is what happened to poor Rocco. I think of Dominik and Tadhg, too.
While hairstyles are significant yes, BUT hairstyles can change in time, what a trick

About n°1, I agree that the picture is not "really close" to Alex Gula, though there is some energy, in the quiet radiant facial expression that resembles him. It is curious how or brains work, indeed, as Filiarheni pointed out.
And then there is Peter Kielty : the app's picture resembles him more than the original photo Am I right or will someone disagree on this one ?
