| "Well, that was easy!" by Pijon and B B Other Comics 2016/10/28 1:17 2330 6
Hellboy glories in his defeat of the mighty Googam, Son of Goom!
(But Abe Sapien suspects his ally may have overlooked something...)

A collaboration between myself and Pijon. He did the linework, I did the colours. We've been wanting to work together for a while, and finally found the time to do so. Hope everyone enjoys the fruits of our labours! |

I have no idea where this came from.

Embiggened and ready to kick butt!

A "rendermanip" (for lack of a better term) of Kamala Khan, the new(ish) Pakistani-American Ms. Marvel.
Why? Because she's awesome, that's why. |

A pic of the awesome new alternative universe Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman -- long may she wall-crawl.
(Update fixes a couple minor issues with the hood and seams.) |

| Sky-Rider of the Spaceways B Marvel Comics 2012/9/14 19:19 2227 6
Pijon was bugging me to do more 3D... (Well, okay, he mentioned it once on another site. Close enough) ...but sadly, I've never really dabbled in 3D costuming. My skills in the medium are basically limited to creating environments and rendering naked dudes.
So here, then, is a naked dude in an environment.
(Figure in DAZ, background in Bryce, minor postwork in Photoshop.) |

| Batgirls B DC Comics 2012/9/5 18:52 3071 8
Batgirls #2 (Cass Cain) and 3 (Steph Brown). Again. Just because. DC keeps giving me such excellent reasons to want to remind people of their existence...
Still kinda in a drawing mood, I guess...
Sketched and inked in Illustrator over a 3D reference; coloured in Photoshop.
Thanks to Starchild for an advance critique of the inks, and to OCP for a critique on my previous drawing that I could belatedly incorporate into this one!
[Added 09/03, edited 09/05 to fix (hopefully) a minor issue pointed out by Thayne that was kinda sorta irking me...] |

| Purple B DC Comics 2012/8/26 14:49 2379 6
My favourite colour.
Steph Brown again.
Just trying to shake some rust out of the old pencil and learn a bit of Illustrator... drawing's not really my forte, but I like this. |

| Kate Bishop: Hawkeye B Marvel Comics 2012/8/23 18:56 4859 14
This is Kate Bishop, aka the awesome new girl Hawkeye from Marvel's excellent (if oft-delayed) Young Avengers series. I found some excellent archery stock photos by Kxhara on deviantART (http://kxhara.deviantart.com/) and decided I had to do something with 'em. |

| Cover Flip Challenge: Moving Day B Monthly and other challenges 2012/8/19 18:07 2187 7
I was planning not to do any more of these, to give myself more time to work on "proper" art... then I saw this... could... not... resist...
Original is Hulk Special #1. |

| Cover Flip Challenge: Alfred E. Neuman, Agent of M.A.D. B Monthly and other challenges 2012/8/18 16:53 1997 4
Desecrating the great Jim Steranko's Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #4 by crossing it over with the purveyor of another well known set of spies...
Thanks to DarqueImages for the idea of replacing Nicky-poo with Alfred E. Neuman. I'm ashamed I didn't think of that myself!
[Edited to make Alfred's face fit in better; 'twas annoying me.] |

| Cover Flip Challenge: Secret of Obama B Monthly and other challenges 2012/8/18 16:01 1832 3
Poking a bit of fun at the kookiest brand of conspiracy theorist whackjob... How much you wanna bet there's people out there who seriously believe this?
(No specific political message here, folks. I'm Canadian, so I don't like either of your parties! )
House of Mystery #101. I saw the cover and just knew I had to do something with it. |

| Cover Flip Challenge: House of Bieber B Monthly and other challenges 2012/8/16 19:07 1943 5
The victim is House of Mystery 269 plus a bit of (gods help us) Fame: Justin Bieber. No, i don't know why the latter comic exists. It clearly has no right to. |

| B's Influence Map B Monthly and other challenges 2012/8/15 21:22 2504 9
'cos 5x5 grids are for sissies.
Divided by medium, of course. I tried to mostly stick to formative childhood influences, but there was a few more recent favourites I couldn't make myself leave out. Such as those that convinced me to again take up the virtual paintbrush last year, for a start...
And there still wasn't enough room for everything... I'd particularly have liked to add some non-comics writers. That would've gone something like: Tolkien, Pratchett, William Gibson, Philip K. Dick, Le Guin, and that Shakespeare feller. Maybe I should've included Antarctica...
[EDIT 08/16: I decided this map need a compass rose and some dragons.] |

| Cover Flip Challenge: My Little Wolverine B Monthly and other challenges 2012/8/15 21:08 1945 4
Tee hee.
This was actually the fourth idea I thought of for this challenge, but I did it first because it was the only one for which I immediately knew what cover to use. The others are hopefully forthcoming. Apologies if I've offended any My Little Pony fans who've infiltrated HM. I know nothing about the show save that half the internet adores it and that it goes with Wolverine like a honey badger goes with the Hubble telescope (thus making it the perfect choice for this image).

| The Black Bat B DC Comics 2011/9/25 23:42 4533 7
Cassandra Cain, formerly Batgirl II, in her new identity as the Black Bat. (Or possibly Blackbat. DC doesn't seem to be able to decide...) Another character I love who's currently in limbo thanks to the absolutely-not-a-reboot.
DAZ base, photoshop costuming. |
|
| Batgirl! B DC Comics 2011/9/1 10:34 4377 13
Been a while since I did one of these...
This is Stephanie Brown, MY Batgirl, star of the best book on the stands over the past two years. Now unceremoniously dumped in limbo so DC Editorial can indulge their Silver Age fetish by going back to Barbara Gordon (who in any case is far, far better as Oracle). Figured I oughta pay tribute before she goes...
DAZ base + Bryce background + Photoshop costuming. The face is based on Mia Wasikowsa.

| Black Mary B DC Comics 2007/8/30 13:41 4448 11
There was a bunch of images of the new bad girl version of Mary Marvel floating around, so I figured I'd show y'all how it's done. (Joke.)
I know not who the model is. Sorry, BB. |

| Dazzler B Marvel Comics 2007/8/23 17:09 3979 11
Hi, remember me?
My first post here in about 9 months or so... This is Dazzler in her New Excalibur costume. I wanted to do something involving power effects, and she seemed a good candidate. Body from Daz 3D, face collaged together from a variety of photos, costume and power effects from scratch.
The lighting on the face is wrong. I know this. I don't care enough to fix it. Thank you. |
|
| Daddy's Girl B DC Comics 2006/9/10 20:54 4776 15
Rose Wilson, aka Ravager, the daughter of Deathstroke the Terminator and current member of the Teen Titans. I've been working on this one for three and a half months, hopefully it was worth it. Before anyone (BB) asks, the model is mostly Vicky 3. I used Famke Janssen's chin, but it's so heavily altered it's not really her anymore.
Long detailed C2F art notes will be in the first post. |
|
| Ultimates: The Vision B Marvel Comics 2006/3/5 16:47 4826 15
Something I threw together for a C2F theme day while this site was gone. This is the Ultimate version of the Vision. Somehow, I found this one made me far more interested in doing a manip of her than the 616 version ever did... no idea why...
No, I don't know who the model is. (I mean, I know the body's a DAZ render. But the face...? Got me.)
Hope ya like it. |

| December Challenge: Xmas Gift for Winterhawk B Marvel Comics 2005/12/25 0:58 6249 23
Winterhawk signed up for C2F's XMas theme day, where artists are randomly selected to do request pics for another artist. Traditionally, these are manips of the artist making the request, but Hawk requested a pic of one of his favourite characters instead. (Apparently being manipped into Wonder Woman wasn't good enough for him.) I got picked as Hawk's Secret Santa, and this is my gift for him. Since Hawk is still primarily an HMorpher, I thought it was appropriate to post it here too so that everyone could go and lavish me with praise.
In case anyone wants a story behind this pic, my theory is that Blink's latest reality-saving mission is to deliver that Cabbage Patch Winterhawk doll under some poor sap's Christmas tree.
[EDIT: *sigh* Oops, I forgot to cater to BB's obsession. It's Sylvia Kaczmarek.] |

| Marvel Boy challenge - Jack Knight Ripoff Edition B Marvel Comics 2005/11/7 13:01 2507 9
You happy now, Force?
My version of Marvel Boy. I couldn't think of any "proper" costume that was sufficiently distinctive to stick out from all the cool stuff other people have come up with, so I ended up going with the Jack Knight Starman option: t-shirt, jeans and jacket with some elements specific to the character (logo and bracers). There y'go, now you can all go and vote for someone else's version. |
|
| Supergirl! B DC Comics 2005/9/25 21:37 6960 20
Yes, I've finally done a Supergirl manip. Pray for my soul. This was for a Cheesecake theme day at C2F (mmm, cheesecake...)
This is WWE diva Torrie Wilson as Linda Danvers, aka Peter David's version of Supergirl. I decided specifically to do this version of the character because (a) I'm a huge fan of PAD's work on her and (b) I cordially dislike the new version of Kara Zor-El and have some serious issues with her character and the writing in her series.
A side benefit of doing Linda is that it allows me to use a somewhat older model than I could for the teenaged Supergirl... but I'm still not a huge fan of the casting here. Ah, well.
Costuming from scratch, ditto the rooftop she's standing, the background is a photo of New York with some alterations. The sky and easter egg I made in 3D in Bryce.
Enjoy! |

| JLA vs. Avengers by B and Dan B Other Comics 2005/9/3 21:23 4831 22
A collaboration between myself and Dan Perceful, this is a recreation of a page from JLA/Avengers #2. The (very, very long) art notes will be in the first comment. |

| Underground B Original Characters 2005/7/31 17:56 3559 7
This is a manip of two of the original characters I'm working with. On the right is Eve, who may be passing familiar to some folks (I've done a few other pics of her), on the left is her girlfriend, Chloe.
Not gonna go into too much detail about how I did what... the base pic was a 3D render in DAZ Studio (a freeware wannabe Poser clone, for the uninitiated), I stuck on the faces of Audrey Tautou (Eve) and Alexis Bledel (Chloe), made all their clothing from scratch, and did the background in 3D using Bryce 4 with some lighting and texture touchups in Photoshop 7. If anyone wants any more details, email or PM me, or take a look at the ridicolously detailed art notes for this image over at comics2film.
Hope y'like it. |

| Spring-heeled Jack B Original Characters 2005/6/19 15:42 4257 13
This is my submission for the June challenge at Bold Comics.
Spring-Heeled Jack is a sort of urban legend of early Victorian London. I'm not sure what the deal is with this version of the character, but he's probably a scientist who experimented on himself, mutated into a weird, superhumanly powerful demonic creature, went borderline psychotic and became a (likely very violent) vigilante. Probably.
Photoshop, based on a photo of a crouching guy and another of Big Ben. |
|
| Songbird B Marvel Comics 2005/5/12 18:36 8378 29
Songbird of the Thunderbolts -- one of my favourite characters.
The base pic was a girl jumping, the face is Dido (not cause I'm an especial fan, but because I wanted to use a singer to get this kind of expression, and she was the only one I could think of who looked even remotely right for the character). Costuming from scratch, energy effect from scratch, background done in the 3D program Bryce. |
|
| Oops! B DC Comics 2005/5/1 20:14 2856 4
So, I wanted to do an Animal Man pic, cause there just aren't that many around. But I just couldn't get it to look right... the arm, that was the problem. It looked mummified and I just couldn't fix the damn thing! So, I got frustrated and erased the pic. Sorry.
Really, though...
Oldie alert! This is about a year old, it's not a recent pic at all.
I was posting some stuff over at Bold and came across a few pics I never posted here. And I figured, what the heck, why not post them here too?
This is "Mr. Stock Photography" as Grant Morrison's Animal Man. The body is entirely from scratch, based on photo reference. The background is a Bryce (3D program) wireframe. The pencil is a from-scratch Bryce model. The arm is *supposed* to be too small. That's why the pic's being erased, yeah? Anything else is a genuine screw up and is fair game for criticism. |
|
| Gallery of the Endless: Desire B DC Comics 2005/4/22 20:46 3890 8
My fourth Endless pic: Desire, the anthropomorphic representation of love (and of hate).
The model was rome random smoking chick. The eyes are frankensteined in, the model's were closed. The lighter's mostly from scratch, ditto the flame. The backgrounds a microscope slide of lung cells. It was supposed to be heart cells, but this looked better. The text is from _Sandman_ #21. |
