I saw this base image of an underwear model and I thought he might make a good john stewart GL. And then I had the idea that for some reason he has ended up with two power rings (perhaps Kyle Rayner) was incapacitated) Anyways that's what I thought. This is another of me trying to keep my hand in until I get really inspired.
I should have waited before uploading this.. or I would have noticed I hadn't added my siggie thing... my bad!
Heh but i do get to add some taglines like they have on movie posters.. taken from comments on the previous submission ;) please feel free to vote again ;)

| Inspired by the sassy, sexy Cat that appears in the Spider-Man 2 video game. A lot of frankensteining went into this, but I did all of the hair and fur by hand(by mouse..?), as well as some of the shinies in her outfit. I am pretty happy with it overall, though my edges are still rough, and the cat looks fake. |

Paris Hilton as The Riddler. As you can see, she's stolen a certain Gotham bus, and giving last minute instructions to her henchmen...
_A lot_ more effort went into this one. The bowler, the cane, the effin' front window - took most of the weekend. I'm tempted to post the base just so you can see the work involved. maybe some day I'll add the henchmen outfits. I also thought a Bat Signal viewed through the windshield might be cool...
Sorry for the repost, but the title was wrong... |

1. Source: Unknown model from Google (type 1065550699 and search for images).
The background were taken from here: http://celepar7.pr.gov.br/portalcomunidade/paginas_comunidade/pg_gralhaazul.asp
2. Commenting image: this is going to be enormous. Gralha is the name of a bird that inhabits Brazil. Unfortunately I do not have the minimum idea if it is known by some other name in English. The shape of the animal can be seen here: http://www.pr.gov.br/seec/gralha/gralha2.html
O Gralha (The Gralha) is indeed a brazilian comic super hero. Some of his authors adore super-heroes; others hate them openly. Still thus, the Gralha is one only. For more details about this character, visit (written in portuguese): http://www.omelete.com.br/quadrinhos/artigos/base_para_artigos.asp?artigo=315
3. Making of:
The same old speech. The Gralha's drawing was made by me. The "real" Gralha demonstrates as how it can be ridicule (for the brazilian reality) the concept of a super-hero. With the background and the two Gralhas, I noticed that the composition was very confused... so I decided to add these black bars to simulate a page of comic book and the problem was fixed. |

I said I was gonna do more of these, didn't I? Here's Gallery of the Endless #2: Delirium. Unlike the folks at C2F, you guys get actual legible text, ain't that great?
Del's my second favourite member of the Endless, and my first choice for the sequel to Dream. The model's Chloe Sevigny. I recoloured her skin, and did all the hair, clothing and jewelry from scratch. So were the butterflies, though those were partly based on photo reference, except for one. I'm inordinately fond of the safety pin she's wearing on her necklace, for some reason. The background is just random splotches of colour. I had something else in mind, but the text ended up obscuring it too much. I actually created it by making a copy of the pic, blurring the hell out of it (gaussian), adding a lot of noise, blurring some more (radial) and then using a fairly random curve. Try it, you can get some fascinating Jackson Pollock stuff that way.
The text is from the same source as last time, the prologue to Season of Mists in The Sandman #21. |

thought you all might be interested in this. superman was lifted from a comic so that's why he looks abit cartoony but the main thing i'm quite proud of is the explosions, just a little tweaking like the adding of a lens flare at the point of origin and the reflection on the plane.
it was quite a fun piece to do actually, makes a nice change from T&A pics. |

Just resubmitting a larger version
Oldie. Rebecca Romjin Stamos. I think this is one of my favourite of my own manips.
Additional Art Notes: Well, it was about a week, and over 120 layers in the making, but finally here we have Rebecca Romjin Stamos as Barbara Norris aka Brunhilde aka Valkyrie. Starting with an image of RRS standing in what looked like a wheat field, first thing i did was remove out the original collar line of her swim costume. Now it was time to start the suit. I had a couple of attempts before I decided on what you see here. I used the faux leather texture to fill a new layer. I colorized this layer blue, then cut away the extra to leave only the areas that would be the suit With the initial cutting complete, I duplicated this layer twice. the original layer's mode was set to color. the second layer's mode was set to burn at 25% opacity. the third layer's was set to multiply at 75% opacity (obviously i had a bit of experimenting, but these produced the best results. The metals were all created with various layers of gradient fills and the burn tool. The cape was attempted using one of the tutorials Dperciful posted to the hints'n'tips thread(here: http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/Forum7/HTML/002595.html) Added additional texturing to the resultant material. The background is actually three seperate photo's of the Highlands up areound Ullapool - The sky and big hill is a layer, castle ardvreck & the water & hill on the right another layer, and the grass closest at the bottom on a third layer. I actually went as far as texturing Dragonfang (seen behind the title) before I remembered in this piece it would be in a scabard which is bound with rectangles with a deformed leather texture as is the sword handle. The font is Skeksis.
Edit: clarified Hints&Tips thread mentioned at C2F. |

Just keeping my hand in with manipping really. Here we have Marcus Schenkenberg (whom I've used before - see my 'Blink' piece) as a younger Man of Steel. Had to do a fair bit of cleaning up on the original image as there was a lot of text to remove. The costume was made by first creating a composite texture made up from three separate elements - leather, faux suede, and chainmail (much reduced in size) - to try and give it some texture (similar to spidey's movie costume which I love the texture on the blue sections) Then I created a layer to apply the texture. Using the lasso tool to create appropriate areas, the texture is applied at various angles to match the body shape at that area. I then mask of the extra leaving the areas that would be the suit. Using the same mask I duplicate the original model layer, tweaking the muscles and smoothing/smudging where necessary. this layer is then duplicated again with the original layer's mode was set to multiply and the second layer's mode set overlay. The logo was created from scratch in vectors a while back for another project, simply here reduced and distorted to fit the chest then used to create selections to apply the soft embossed feel.
I tried to give the cape a believable flowing feel, not sure if I did, but I like how it turned out. It started with a solid block of color on a layer behind supes. Using the lasso tool I created gradually darker blocks of the red (using HSL adjustment) to give the feel of folds in the cape. The same method used to create supes shadow on the cape. Then used free hand soften tool to blend all the shades together. Over the whole lot applied a gradient fill to darken the cape further where it curves over the shoulder to light at the bottom. The actual shoulder pieces are on a layer to the front of supes, again beginning with a couple of solid blocks of color. Used gradients, the lasso and HSL to create the tighter folds and wrinkles (where it's stitched/joined to the costume). Over the whole lot I introduced some granularity. This had the effect of giving the cape some texture post smoothing.
blended in the flag in the background to further enhance the 'belief in something larger than yourself' feel.
Edit: Added more creation notes on costume and cape. |

Basically found a Poser model of John Stewart and whipped it up in Poser 5. Posed him and rendered. That's it for Poser.
Photoshop: Created the entire background in Photoshop (it's an old space background I did a while back, found it useful here). Slapped John in the pic and touched him up in photoshop. I smoothed out the suit, evened up some muscle lines and took some liberty with adding some division lines and some minor seams to the suit. The power signatures are my standard outer glows set to linear dodge. Added the text with a black backdrop so it would deaden the brightness of the stars and not take away from John. Thanks to B for the input. |
