| Normally, for most of my stuff, I use photographic backgrounds. This was an experiment in creating a background 100% digitally. I think it would stand well on it's own. Not so sure with her in there (even though that is one of my favorite lightsabers...) |

| She's handdrawn, everything else is digital (Background was screencapped from KOTOR II, if I remember correctly). I had to find something for her to lean on and was just trying different texturing effects... |

Hi again,
Batman and Dredd. Several crossovers were done, but my favourite is probably still the first.
I modelled both The Batman and Dredd in Amapi D7 and Carrara 5P.
This is the first version of Dredd that I've done and am not that happy with him anymore.
It's time for a re-model me thinks.
I rendered this several times in Carrara photorealistic and non-photorealistic, then compisited them together in PS7.
Thanks for dropping by. |

| Challenge of the Artists:The Super Skrull vs the Fantastic Four

Done as the second Challenge in dperceful's Challenge of the Artists tournament. For this challenge, I opted to draw something, in order to get me more into drawing stuff rather than manipping. I mean, manipping is uber cool and fun to do, but my first love is and will always be drawing. This picture, while done with the intent of using it for this Challenge, also doubled as my 1-point perspective project in my perspective foundations class at the Academy of Art. Sweeeet.
As for the technicals, I started on 11x17 paper, and hand-drew the entire image myself, using rulers to get the perspective right (the vanishing point is near Super Skrull, in the middle area). I wanted a bunch of different scales to show how there's depth, so Johnny, Sue and Ben made up the big areas of interest in my foreground, the Skrull and Reed made up my middleground, and then the buildings mmade up the background. After drawing the picture, I scanned it into Photoshop Elements and proceeded to color, using a bunch of different layer styles and effects, while using the trusty D&B to keep my shadows and highlights in check. All in all, about 5 hours drawing, 4 hours for color, about 10 hours total including scanning, touch-ups, etc. |

| Challenge: Absorbing Man vs Thor

This was for dperceful's first challenge in the Challenge of the Artists tournament, Absorbing Man vs the mighty Thor. Here's the rather long-winded notes:
For my first foray into the Challenge, I wanted to have a battle scene of Absorbing Man and Thor, where thor was ambushed, with maybe the other Avengers coming to help.. For quite a few days, I was torn between whther I should manip it or draw it by hand, but ultimately I chose manipping. I used Photoshop CS primarily, and close to 120 or so layers in total. First, I drew out a thumbnail of the battle, which I then threw into PS. Keeping it as a guide, I started searching for base pics, and I happened across a bodybuilding site with a ton of poses by just googling "bodybuilder poses"
I found a back pose that was perfect for Absorbing Man, so I took it, repositioned the arms a little, and erased the legs. The pants are from a medical scrubs online catalog with a sand texture added on top, and the boots are Lugz from an urban footwear website. I made the ball and chain from scratch, using liquefy to warp the chain. Next, I found brick and metal diamond plate images on the web, and overlayed them onto the arms and ball. I used liquefy to warp the guy's face as well, and the clone tool to strech and shape his head into Absorbing Man's egg-shaped dome. Some dodging/burning to fix shadows/highlights was added as a finishing touch.
Next came Thor. From the same site, I found two separate poses, one for the upper body and one for the legs. With a little franking I was able to shape the pose into the one shown. I copied the body layer and desaturated it for the costume, erasing parts I didn't need, like the arms. I separated the costume layer into the pants and top, using hue/saturation and color balancing to color them. The helmet, belt, and boots were created from scratch. A Dolph Lundgren screencap from the "He-Man" movie provided the head, and a redhead from a hair styling website provided the hair. The helmet wings and hammer are from the Thor hammer prop set. I made the shoulder parts of the cape from scratch, and the cape itself was from a medieval costume site, recolored from green to red. I also copied a portion of the cape to make it look like Thor was holding it in his left hand. Again, used D/B to fix and enhance the contrast. Some lightning from a weather photography site, with a little blue outer glow, finished off Thor.
Lastly, the brick wall and background. I started off with the NYC background. I took a picture of Times Square from the net. Next, I used dperceful's destruction tutorial link in the Artist Help thread of C2F's DCG forums to take some chunks out of some buildings, though it's been mostly covered by the brick wall and characters. I added tiny pictures of other Avengers on the roof of a building on the left, Captain America, Hawkeye, Iron man, Wasp, and Vision. Threw all that onto a Filter-render-clouds background.
The brick wall and flying debris was last. I found a brick wall desktop background on the web, and skewed/perspective'd it to look like it's going away from the viewer. I then cut out a random hole in the wall. I recopied the layer and moved it underneath and to the right, to give the brick wall some thickness, using the clone tool and D/B to rework the wall. Filled the hole's empty space with black, and rendered some brown/white clouds to create dust. Next, I modeled some crude bricks in Blender, some 3d modelling freeware I found out about in high school. I took a picture of maybe 5-6 all flying at the camera, then moved the pic into PS and duplicated it a bunch. Lastly, added some motion blur to make it look like the bricks were flying. Added my signature as some graffiti and that finished off the background. 12ish hours and 120+ layers. |

I thought I'd start posting here for a bit as well as C2F, as the turnaround is faster here and the filesize limit is bigger.
Did this a while ago, back when the first shot of Topher-Venom surfaced. I took the publicity shot and isolated the head. Next, I built the torso from scratch, and franked the arms and legs from yet more bodybuilder pictures, making them considerable smaller and leaner than the original base photos of the bodybuilders. I thendesaturated the entire body minus the head and recolored it to a tealish black. I next made a small hexagonal pattern , shrunk it down, and replicated over the entire body, limb by limb to get the suit's texture. I next took a picture of Spidey's symbol, franked in the extra leg segments pointing inward, inversed the black symbol to make it white, and added it to the chest. The tendrils are all actually just one tendril that I made, replicated, and transformed/liquefied to change their shapes. The pool of symbiote is also just a blob of black and white that I transformed/liquefied. I then found some pictures of an irregular brick pattern, and used that to make the floor, wall, and window, adding some home decoration columns as well. The bells were made from a picture of an old church bell that I recolored and replicated, and the lightning was a pic I got from a weather photography site. All in all, a good 10 hours or so.
Kinda wish it was bigger. Oh well. |

I call her "Captain Fathom", an amalgam of Captain America and Fathom. Red, white and blue bikini-style costume (such as you would expect Aspen to wear). Shield with "ying-yang" design from the Fathom comics. Lavender hair because it looks kinda neat.
Hand-drawn with mouse. Afterward, the mouse ran off, am offering reward.
