brand new pic. only took me about 2hours.
the main thing that i wanted to get across was that the venom suit (ultimate spiderman that is) was not black but a dark velvety purple.
ialso added some noise to the model so that he blended more into the pic. |

Salutations Heromorphers. This is my first submission (be gentle).
To be honest, if someone had said to me that Daisy Fuentes in a bat costume with a cape stolen from Alicia Silverstone on a background of Paris (minus the eiffel tower) would make a good idea for a manip, I wouldn't have believed them either. |

Jaime Pressley as Emma Frost, caught in the middle of transforming into her diamond skin.
Face, hair and body Frankensteined together. The skin tone was all over the place, so I desaturated the piece to B&W and then recoloured everything. I did the usual stuff for the costuming. The diamond effect (which I'm really happy with) I created using a crystalline texture I made (a metallic Bryce abstract that I carved up into lots of little triangles) and a translucent mask. The light glinting off her hand I did based on a tutorial at Shiver 7 (http://www.shiver7.com/tutorials/), and the little refraction spectra were from scratch. The background (smudged Bryce, as usual) is the Xavier Institute from Grant Morrison's New X-Men.
For the logo-conscious, this was one of my first pics with a standardized logo. (I think Harley Quinn 2 was *the* first.) Yes, it's still just a handwritten B, but it's the *same* handwritten B I've used in every pic since.
I still really like this piece, though I've done better since. |

Elektra, walking away from a recent assignment.
Can't remember the model's name, but I think someone else has used this exact pic for another manip, so maybe y'all can enlighten me. Costuming done the usual way, background done the usual way. Sai made from scratch. Uh... can't really think of anything else to say. I like the bloodstain on the sign.
Um... no, that's it. |

Hello, heromorphers. This is my first post.
Catherine Bell is really fantastic but I frankly do not see her as Wonder Woman. Well... this is not a forum so let me focus in the photomanipulation. This was made for a competition that I won in a bizarre way (nobody else had participated) in http://users3.ev1.net/%7Edukeofdeception/ and based on a Stuff magazine cover.
By the way: I did not see a single prize OR an email from this duke of the deception, a disillusionment in the straight use of the word. |

| "Alone" - Milla Jovovich as Penance

It's been a while but at last I managed to finish a new manip. This time of Penance from the Generation X Series.
I won't deny this one's been a challenge - I started out with a pic of a nude Angie Everhart and built up the costume from various other pics. I think there's about 50 or so layers in the costume alone. Her spines are a blend of sea urchin's, porcupines and any other spikey images I could find.
The model is Milla Jovovich, about the only one with that otherworldly quality that Penance needs.
Comments appreciated! |

Harley Quinn's desk
This was a direct follow-up to my second version of Harley. I put the Harley + Ivy photo, and the gun in the background of that piece, but they proved more or less invisible. I thus decided to submit a close up, and added the Joker manip just for fun.
Harley and Ivy were two women posing on a cruise; I slapped Drew Barrymore and Laeticia Casta's heads on them, and did the costuming the usual way. Ivy's wearing poison ivy leaves, of course. You can also see what's left of the ship's original owner behind the girls...
The Joker was a heavily altered Willem Dafoe with a grin taken from another photo. The suit I cobbled together from various photos. The background's Bryce.
The gun was made from various Bryce primitives. It looks more like a toy than a real gun, but that works for Harley.
There was no real post -production on this piece, it was just a straight Bryce render. Looking back, I probably should have done more touch-ups. I was going for more of a photorealistic look here, but I don't think I really succeeded. I'm still putting it in the photomanip section, since the main elements here are manips. |

You guys may have seen this one before...
This was sort of a redo of my first pic. Drew Barrymore as Harley again, with a base photo taken from the same photo session. I think it's a bit better than the first one. :)
I first cleaned up the base pic. The costuming was then done the usual way (for future reference, this means: colour change, burn and dodge, smudge, add wrinkles + seams with yet more b&d and smudging). Any shading or lighting that's in the costume is my work, cause the base pic had really, really bland lighting. The background was done in Bryce, all from scratch, and smudged to get the painted look. The photo of Harley and Ivy was a separate manip. I reused it for another pic, as you will see... or will have already seen, likely. |

Drew Barrymore as Harley Quinn, my favourite character.
This was my first manip ever. Please keep that in mind as you look at it! Personally, I look back at it now and wince... but I thought I'd post it for comparison purposes, since one of the other pieces I'm posting was a redo of this one. Sort of.
I basically just painted over everything, no proper techniques or anything. Just loads and loads of smudging. |

This was done by request for WarrenPeace. Hope you like it. This was a really fast manip. I don't know very much about this character and reference pictures were really hard to find. Anyway
Here it is. Just bumping this back up to the top, cause it got pushed off the front page really fast. |

The third X-Statix girl. (And the last pic I'm posting for a while; don't want to flood the site too much!)
Winona's face, somebody's hair, somebody else's body. Costuming done the usual way. I extended her hair a bit, and made part of her breasts. The background's a photo of a supernova with a spiral effect done, and some post-production. It's supposed to be her teleportation effect.
This is the best manipped of these three pics, but Dead Girl is better overall IMO, because of the background. I really love how some of the wrinkles on this one came out, though. Problems... the face is too bright. |

I did this after a fellow artist (and good friend) at C2F asked me for more X-Statix pics. This was a couple months after Dead Girl.
Alyssa Milano's head on a nude model's body. Costuming done the usual way, generic Roman-type background done in Bryce and smudged.
This is okay, but not as good as Dead Girl. The nose and neck are wonky, the background's too generic, and it's too smudgy in spots (even by my standards). I also should have made the energy brighter. |

First HeroMorph posting!
This is, as the text says, Milla Jovovich as Dead Girl. It was about my ninth or tenth manip. Milla was originally posing for Versace. I gave her a slight haircut, got rid of her dress, then added the costume. I did the background in the 3D modelling program Bryce, and smudged it to match the painted look of the rest of the piece. Yes, it's supposed to look painted, not photorealistic.
My main problem with this piece, looking at the piece now, is the logo. It's floating, and completely lacks depth. There's also some ugly edges around, God alone knows why I never got rid of them. (shakes head)
This was the best manip I did for a very long time, and I'm still proud of it. |

The Next installment of the Batman Villians series.
More coming Soon. Really soon.
You can find the base of this manip here ( http://www.atpictures.com/display.php?g=kenneth&img=k19.jpg ).
Not really much to say, Since the base image was only half a face I had to recreate the other side, Added in the hat, Found a background, made some adjustments to the background- Lighting, tint, putting hats on everyone. Applied lighting to the Hatter (face and hat) Found A cool font. wrote a crazy poem and tried to incorporate a couple of quotes from Alice in Wonderland in the poem. And I was done. A rather simple project.

another nova from me. i have a thing right now for fiery femmes, my next one will be fire star.
quite a simple pic, the base was just some chick jumping in the air so i desaturated it, inverted it and using the curves, created a more metallic look.
the fire was done using the clouds filter and different lighting effects but what i like the most is the reflections. it makes her more a part of the pic rather than simply being placed on top of a baxkground.
oh! and i did the background from scratch in case anyone was wondering.
enjoy! |

DISCLAMER: this picture was waaay oversized when i posted it originally. so here's the optimized-for-web version, sized down considerably. i will now re-post the original description MODERATORS PLEASE DELETE PREVIOUS POST *ahem*:
You want obscure, here's obscure. I'm not sure how many Heromorphers are Hero Alliance Fans. Alot of great artists got their start on this comic. This group manip depicts some of the team's members, standing in front of the ruins of the Guardmen Complex destroyed by a villain named Sepulchre, killing most of the team. This is how Hero Alliance got their start, in the wake of the Guardmen disaster. I love these characters, and alot of detail was lost in the grouping process, so if anyone wants to see an individual manip or two let me know! Also, some of you may noticed that the bases for Victor and Kris are identical to the first two manips i ever posted here. I think if you compare my old Victor/Kris manips to these, you can see marked improvement. What do you think? Enjoy!
