making a skinny neck - roger901 - 11-25-2018
How would you go about doing this?

There's lots more going on than the long neck and it takes a lot of skill to pull it off.
I believe the head is enlarged and some of the facial features like the eyes.
AnMal from gimpchat wrote a tutorial for making "dollheads" which can be found here:

Enlarging the eyes can be done with the 'Warp Transform' Tool (formerly called 'IWarp').
Making the neck longer might be possible with 'G'MIC Seamcarve', and lots of Clone Tool and Paintbrush photo retouching techniques.
The LiquidRescale plug-in might also be a useful tool (i've never used it).

A few notes:
what i dislike about AnMal's tutorial is that she upscales the head...
If you work with a large image its much better to just downscale the body !
LiquidRescale works with making bodyparts longer, although the Interactive Feature appears to be a bit buggy when you try to undo something.
A much easier method is to slice the body into parts (original, head, neck) via selection, copy, paste, new layer.
Move the head up, then stretch the neck part until it fits, then compose everything into a seamless look with layermasks and retouch with the Healing Tool, paint in shadows, etc.
Can be seen here (PS tutorial but nothing that Gimp cant do):

For a really long neck use LiquidRescale.
Got no good looking results with using the Warp Transform Tool on the eyes.
