Sorry for such a long delay between posting. I can assure you that the excuse is justified – in other words, don’t ask. I’ll probably announce it in a day or so, when the momentum is strong enough. Concerning the illusion for today, I believe similar one was already featured on the site few months ago – probably a slightly different motive was used, but the principle it works under, is identical. Those of you who are long time visitors, already have an idea how this works. The blurred dolphin below is just a plain illusion. If you move your head few meters away from the screen, you should be able to spot a race car. I’m not quite certain which type, since I’m not into them. For another similar illusion, check Marilyn Monroe illusion, as well as Cat Woman article. Comment your thoughts on which car this represents.

sup
so illusions are now just blobs of colors?
wow…this one sucks
To me it looks like a lotus elise?????
I wouldnt really call it an illusion but it looks cool….btw FIRST!
teller alert!!!
look @ the in the dolphin!
That is sweet man. Instead of moving farther away, you can just squint. Where do you get these?
When I first saw this picture I thought oh, a car being seen through a very fogy thick piece of glass.
Then saw the dolphin.
Maybe if gold and Grey were reversed..
I know what the dlay was for! Your’e pregnant, right?
I saw the car before the dolphin. This one was easy peasy!
No offense, but I kinda thought this was slightly pathetic and really easy to make your own of using photoshop. Not much of an illusion.
THATS cool
first post? thats pretty cool… at first im like wha?!?!? then i saw the blurry image of the car.
…a silver one
Cool. It also works if you squint or blur your eyes. BTW, welcome back. Thanks for the new illusion!
I have never spoke up before on this site, but I’ve been watching it for a long time.
This is probably the worst thing I’ve seen…
first comment? yay! by the way it looks like a normal sedan car but tuned up
thats really awesome
Lol, not the best illusion, but it’s cute x3
Fun picture.
It is soooo goooood to have you back Vurdak..
Plaese if you find the time – we are not none with the baked bean man…
Rikke DK
These are awesome. I love you man.
I came really close to the monitor and witnessed wheels and then I looked back and could see the car within the dolphin
I always look forward to these:)
And thank goodness..You have no idea how the delays impacted my days….Glad you’re back:)
I Think it’s an Audi
Looks more a ordinary car than a Race Car to me.
looks like an aston martin maybe?
awesome!!! keep up the good stuff.
is that an illusion or just 2 images badly superimposed?
That’s really cool. But I think the old Marilyn Monroe post was even better.
Lame.
Totally lame.
In the words of my favorite caveman
AAAH What?
this isn’t an illusion, it’s just very bad photo-overlays
That is rubbish. It doesn’t take ages to find and the car is barely there. Poooooooo!!!!!!
Am I first? yeah…. I can´t see the car…even though I tried from 100 yards away from the screen!
whats with the odd links? they don’t even have aything to do with this article!
wow.. cool
I don’t know about everyone else, but I have a harder time spotting the car than the dolphin! (I do see the car, though). Since the car’s so blurry, I don’t have any idea of what make or model it is. Cool illusion, though!
Rubbish, and well below the standards we’re used to on this site.
easy, found under a minute.
i don’t see the car can anyone see the car..?!
cool! when u look away it looks like a car, with the sun in the background! cool!
Pretty vague image but none the less i see it.
Nice one¡ Thanks
It just looks like a blurry picture that someone drew a dolphin over..
that sucked monkey balls. sorry it did.
A race car!
But… I think I see my grandpa’s old car when he went shopping yesterday, ’cause he run out of sockets, and found some beautiful ones, with coloured squares and lines. A race car, you say? Ok, I’ll clean my glasses.
;-)
Welcome back ^^
Btw, i liked this one…
this is the second time i tried to post therefore I must say that this site is just as lame as this illusion. come on it was a great thing about 6 months ago what happened. this illusion is stupid it is just a blurred out picture of a toyota supra with a dolphin drawn over it. wow my 2 year old can do that. any way fix the site it is boring. jeff
The Marilyn Monroe one was definitely better, but it’s great to have you back. I was bored the past few days.
And just how is this an illusion?
It is just a picture of a car, under a semi-transparent photoshop layer of a dolphin & a beach ball which has been subjected to an emboss filter.
Its pretty easy to see. Go cross-eyed and it gets easier.
First comment?
At first I looked at it and thought “What Car?” But I read the instructions and wouldn’t you know it, it worked. Thanks for the illusions.
This one doesn’t work as well as the Marilyn Monroe illusion but it’s alright
I don’t get it.
i see both, wicked still!
hehe. cool. just unfocus your eyes and you’ll see it. haha.
yeah tnx 4 the technique
w00t first comment?
uhh well I definatly see a race car, lol, but I can’t tell what kind. Good illusion though.
I see it, but it’s still kind of blurry. You don’t have to stand far away though, just squint your eyes.
how is this even an illusion??? its two pictures on top of each other, similar form, and one is just transparent, while the unfocused one is opaque. worst “illusion” ever
That’s a bit pants isn’t it. I could do that in photoshop in 5 minutes as could anyone with a basic knowledge of the program. Sorry not impressed at all!!
congrats. you can put 2 pictures together and look thru them. woopie!
wow if u squint your eyes you can see it :)
if u look at the fuzzy background of the dolphin u will notice that the blueish greyish part is acctually a car!!
THE CAR IS EASIER TO SEE IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE FROM THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE. THE TYPE OF CAR ISNT ANY SPICIFIC KIND, ITS SOMTHING YOU WOULD SEE IN CARTOONS.
loox like a nascar great illusion!
Ok, Now why did you stop with the so called illusions?
When did a drawing of a dolphin on top of a blurry car picture become an illusion??
you could see a car you have to move the page up and down very fast on the left side move your page up then down
4-door honda accord or my guess is Lexus IS350 (older body style)
looks like you forgot the dorsal fin
How amateur….
Amateur, lame, photoshop trick, who cares, it’s cool looking. I saw the car out of corner of my eye. Then I tilted my glasses and got the effect. Very neat seeing the dolphin and car appear in turns.
signed – the eternal 7 year old.
its just a picture of a car with tracing paper over it
okay people if youre so critical then dont visit this site if it sucks that “bad”…
-_-
Boooooooooooooring!
Well I though it was cool. X-P
its a porsche 911
is anybody else wondering why there’s a random soccer ball in the sky?
this one just like others was the easiest thing ever im in the same spot i was when i started on this site it has never changed how far away i had to go….. i notice them right away
You people should really cut this webmaster some slack. Look, that webmaster had a break from this site and when he/she came back to it, his/her mind was obviously somewhere else. So you can’t expect a great illusion right away. Sure it’s a dolphin with a blurred car in the background you can see well without squinting. But at least when you squint the car jumps in the foreground and the dolphin goes in the background. That has to have at least some degree of coolness. Come on people! Anyways, shame on you for being such a-holes about this!
they just layered it. the lines of the dolphin you see when you’re up close are harder to see from farther away, and the blurred color is clearer from farther away, though you can still see it up close. so NO, the dolphin isn’t an illusion, and the car isn’t either. i’m sorry but this sucks so much it’s sad.
What is wrong with you people? The car is intentionally blurred to provide the color for the dolphin, and I thought it was done quite well. When will you people stop judging others, and make your own?
no one cares
U can see it when you blur your eyes.
