Another one done for a request. I don't remember who asked me to do this one but Here it is.
Just like the last time, I did Mary Marvel ( http://heromorph.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=657 ) I used Adrianna Lima (Mmmm, Yummy) as the base model. I did most of it last night and finished the cape off this afternoon. Nothing Special, Just another quick one. |

| I'M BACK. I came across this picture and thought it was beautiful. I wanted to use it for HeroMorph. She reminded me of a female Doctor Octopus and there is one name Carolyn Trainer but she does not wear shades and has some lind of band around her brow. But I took the liberty to change it. So what I did to the picture was erase the girl who was in the reflection and put Spiderman from the movie in her place. Then I added the tentacle from a picture of the Doc Ock from the Spiderman 2 movie. I also erase the text around her. Enjoy. |

| An edgier, sexier WW for the times. Always said I would never do a Wonder Woman manip; there are too many out there already, but I came across this costume and thought it should be represented. I frankensteined this one quite a bit, because I already had the exact pose I wanted in mind. What took the longest time to do, was to find the perfect face and hair. Took me a couple days to find the right celeb face. Can you tell who it is? |

Started out with seeing the model (Nikki Ziering)...i liked her look and smile (although i didn't use a smile pic). The original pic was fairly clean....so minor touch up there. The hard part was she had clothing all around her neck and upper chest area. I had to clone and heal it out and recreate things like the collar bones, neck muscles, and various skin textures (anything below the chin and above the breastplate was recreated for the most part). I also made the skin a little more milky and warmed it using the dodge tool. The underlaying costume was originally a grey paint job. Shaded and lighted and used the color balance to get my colors. a little noise to create the textures...used a 1 pixel dodge and burn brush to create the seamwork. The breastplate and waistplate were created using a grey layer. I then highlighted and shaded them and used the color balance to create the gold color. I decided to go with a layered breastplate as opposed to creating on giant piece and curving it. The bracelets were created using the same techniques. I added some little sparkles to the metal with a doged outer glow. I added the larger face in the background and highly contrasted the image for a different look, it jsut needed something. Once finished I ran the entire image through levels, colors, and variations to get the finished product. Thanks to C2F artist Zac for his help....dan

| this is my latest as of 2/28/04. tried to do her cape, but haven't mastered material folds yet. her metal accents came out nice, though. I like doing the more obscure heroines, but finding pics is difficult. |

| Saw Janet's new costume and thought it was pretty cool. Simple yet striking. Now I know from history, that as I write this,she probably has gone through 3 more costume changes, but I hope she keeps this one in her closet. |

Enchanting!
Have to say that the headpieces on my last few manips have given me problems, but by the time I get to them, I've lost patience and am anxious to get to the next project. Maybe I should start with them first.
Interesting sidenote: Each time I try metalics, I do it a different way, and each time I'm relatively pleased with the results. Further proof that there is no one way to pull off a manip, but experimentation is key.
(still too chicken to attempt a hero with a cape, but soon...) |

While searching base models for a project, I came across this pic, and thought it would make a good Namorita.
It had a perfect background and the netting already wrapped around her. I thought this would make things simpler. I was wrong. Easier to just mask out the nude figure and go from there. Instead I spent most of my time trying to pull her body out from all those little holes in the net! AAAUUUGGH!
(Also felt it was time to switch my old "ETD" logo for my new "Matrixblur Bolt")

My first submission here...with the teamup coming up and others posting here as well promoting a peace i thought i would join in. anyway this is marrow after getting the crap beat out of her by wolverine. i opted for angelina jolie as marrow, don't know why just did. kept the outfit she had on, i think it works, it would work in the movies. i added some bruises, cuts, and various other lacerations and injuries. Primarily used the burn tool and set it to different ranges to achieve the look. the exposed bone was burned to give it that fresh out of the body look and then i just carefully transformed and masked them in. that's pretty much it. apologies on the background, i created it and masked around ms. jolie, but it never really looked good because of the limitations. thanks goes out to C2F artist Zac for the pointers and advice. Feel free to look at how i made this piece in my tutorial over at http://www.comics2film.com/ArtSchool/

I will be honest, I've only read one Fathom comic book...and I really couldn't get into it. I do however like the artwork of Michael Turner. This image just lent itself to Fathom, hence the manip. I was really intrigued by the challenge of creating water as if it was part of the body. I think it turned out alright, I went for more of a power signature on it rather than just a lifeless water body. Done in photoshop, layers, layer modes, color balance, brightness/contrast were used to create the effects. i want to thank C2F artist Zac for the help, had some issues with what really could spruce this thing up and he gave me some ideas that i really hadn't thought of. oh yeah the background is done in bryce, i wish i could photoshop random water that good.

| I just want to thank BA for his advice and tutorial about creases and wrinkles. This is my first manip trying those techniques. I still have to practice it a bit, but it is clear to see how they make all the difference in putting the finishing touches on a manip. Now on to learning capes! |

From Cyberforce (thanks WH).
At first, I couldnt get the metalic look right, but some encouragement and advise from fellow heromorph artists (WH and Brick), I kept at it and got what I think is one of my best manips. In fact, I like her pose so much, that I'm going to use her in my first ever fight scene. maybe with Zealot, if I can find a suitable model. One with a full backside view. If anyone has one, I'd love to see it. |

| OK, so now i've caught up on unposted manips. This is Eternity, one of the extremely powerful abstract Cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe. This manip might look easy, but it took an insanely long time to do. I plan to do almost all of the major Cosmic beings, including Infinity, Eon, Ego, Abraxas, all those, plus Silver Surfer, and if i'm feeling ambitious, maybe Galactus or the Watcher! |

Another of my older manips. Couldn't go into too much detail on the process.. It's been too long.
Head is CZJ. Body is some unknown model. Clothes are painted on (except the boots which were just recolored and touched up --badly.)
The toughest work on the piece was with the background, cause this chick was posing in this old putt-putt course or something, and the "cave" walls had holes in the plaster where the chicken wire and stuff showed through... |

Might as well post all of my Batman related pics...
This is Bats visiting his parents' grave on the anniversary of their murders. It was the response to a challenge to do a piece with dark lighting. It is, indeed, really, really dark. Apologies if you have to play around with your monitor settings to see it properly!
This was ninety-something percent Bryce. The main things added later were Bats' cowl and the edges of his cape, as well as the rain effect. I did this only a couple months ago, but with the benefit of hindsight and C2F reviews, I probably should have done more post-production.
Overall... There's a number of problems with it (I'll let you guys look for them this time, LOL), but I still quite like it.
More later. |

This is Dream of the Endless, of course. The face was once Johnny Depp, but I doubt you can tell any more. (But would anyone look like Dream does?) The skin and eyes were recoloured. The whole face was stretched out a lot, and deep shadows added in strategic spots to create the appropriately gaunt look. The hair was done from scratch, as were the chest and cloak. The ruby was made using the same texture I used for the diamond effect for my Emma Frost piece, and then smudged, burnt and dodged a lot.
The text is taken from the prologue to Season of Mists, in The Sandman #21. I think it's the best description of Dream that Neil Gaiman ever wrote. And the same section also has fascinating descriptions of most of the other Endless... So there will be more of these. Eventually. |

Another piece I wasn't initially sure about posting. But what the hell... This was one of my earliest attempts at a cape, and it shows. The fall of it is all wrong, and it doesn't cast a shadow. Shame, cause I think the costuming is otherwise pretty good. I really ought to do another version of Cassie, to do her justice. Eventually. :p |

I wasn't originally going to post it here, but the 90k version on C2F is... well, it's crap. I wanted to post the full version somewhere. Shiny stuff done with a curve, everything else is standard costuming and/or recolouring. The background's Bryce, but I don't really like it now. Too generic. And I suddenly noticed that she's not casting a shadow. Oops. :p |
