French Artist Adds Scifi to Beautiful Photos

Chrisophe Huet is a professional photo retoucher best known for his freaky, exaggerated depictions of superhuman, surreal images like this eyeball, which has bats, dragons, airplanes, spiders, and other creatures growing out of it. The former photo lab technician realized that he preferred drawing to shooting and developing photographs, and that's how he got into the retouching business. Now he's one of the best at his trade in the whole world. Keep reading for slightly NSFW images of a grown up baby popping out of a vagina, a giant scorpion having sex with a man, and more.

I hope I never give birth to something like this.

In the future, plastic surgery could be this easy.

Huet has worked for big name clients like Nike, Nissan, Rossignol, and PlayStation. Images via ChristopheHuet.com

Beautiful. I'll never look at scorpions the same way again. Or Mr. potato head.

I've seen these before, but they're still disturbing. Especially Scorpo-love. Eeek.

Does the scorpion's stinger come into play at any point?

Great, humans with bug fetishes. Really, how disturbing.

Amazing talent to capture some intriguing images within one another.

I just came across this using StumbleUpon not 3 days ago.

I've heard of beer-goggles, but WTF was scorpion-boy drinking? Lighter-fluid?

He'd better call her, too. The last thing a guy needs is a "Fatal Attraction" situation with a 300 lb arachnid...

Good call on the stinger curving appropriately.

That is an incredibly creepy and beautiful image.

@russdanger: 300 lbs.? Oh c'mon, she's not *that* fat.

If I recall correctly the last picture (*shudder*) was used as an anti-AIDS ad in France.

The eye is fantastic.

@twreckx: Yes, it was. There's also an image of a giant tarantula performing oral sex, I believe, on a woman. I assume that was also made by him. They freak me out.

Oh man! Where was the NSFW warning?! My boss walked by and saw on my screen a dude getting it on with a scorpion and gave me weird looks! D:

The guy with the plug in facial bits is actually a reality. Real facial prosthetics look just like the ones in the pic; many even attach the same way. Pics here (but NOT for the squeamish - lots of folks with major facial injuries): [www.hopkinsmedicine.org]
