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.
This was done about 2.5 years after the first one (July 2001 to Jan 2004), but that's not as big a gap as it seems, since I wasn't doing much manipping until I joined C2F in June 2003. I only did about 8 pieces in total in the two years leading up that. This piece was about my twentieth manip.
The face (nose, mostly) was like that in the original, and I didn't manage to fix it.
The background (thanks for reminding me!) is based on Harley's and the Joker's hideout from the <i>Batman: Harley Quinn</i> OGN.
How much time between the first take and the second take. I think this one is much better then the first. The face does seem a little mishaped to me, but that just might be DB's Face. The background is really nice.
