Ok so here is the making of:
Fire: She is a 2-part Frankensteined base model. The top section of her body is Sylvia saint and the bottom half is a gymnastics girl. I created the flame by using the Eye candy fire filter and a variation on this tutorial (
http://www.photoshoptechniques.com/texp/fireptk.php ) The fire blast was made using the same techniques.
Booster gold: Another 2 part Frankenstein top half and bottom half both from the same model and picture but repositioned for a suitable pose.
Ice: Standard manip nothing fancy.
Blue beetle: Standard manip again nothing fancy.
Martian Manhunter: A 2-part frank, just an arm repositioning actually, then standard maniping.
Despero: An 8 part Frankenstein monster. With effects out the wazzoo, it was fun setting him on fire and freezing him as well.
Energy effects: mostly multiple layers with various blending and opacity settings.
Background: A lot of work, I cracked the cement, added the crater, changed some signs and billboards, added in the rubble pile and debris. And More.
That????????s the quick run down.
Hope you enjoy!
