| Well, here's where I stray from the original A-Next Cover. Darkdevil's head is cut off in the original cover and quite frankly, his costume is too cool not to do. I'll crop it down in the final cover. For those of you non-Spidergirl readers Darkdevil here has the most convoluted-origin-ever! (Imagine I said that like the Simpons comic book guy.) It's the Spider-man clone's son with the remnants of Ghost Rider's abilities and Daredevil's spirit. |

| Ultimates Theme Day - Ultimate Quasar

OK, I managed to pull myself away from DDO to post the stuff I haven't posted here at my home website. Here's a piece I did for C2F's Ultimates theme day.
My rendition of Ultimate Quasar is inspired by Bryan Hitch's unofficial rules on designing characters.
1. Make them look vaguely like a hollywood actor. 2. Costume will be inspired by motorcycle gear.
3. Light eminates from costume.
4. Profit!
The model is the James model from Poser 6. The costume is illustrated and modeled after a motorcross suit. The energy effects are from playing around with layer styles, layer masks and 20% opacity yellow lines and dots. |

Here's part 3 of my Farscape/GL manips. Here we have Ben Browder again as GL Hal Jordan and Lani Tupu as Dr. Light.
I'm pretty happy with this one as a whole image. I think Dr. Light's suit is the best Spandex I've ever done. |

| OK, just another reminder at how much I used to suck at doing this. A scant 5 years ago I created this piece. I like posting these things for you new guys to encourage you to push yourselves further. Honestly, I don't think I know much more about Photoshop now as I did then. The difference is that I stopped thinking of photoshop as a tool for putting together images and treated it like a canvas and applying all the drawing and painting experience I had to it. |

"Jordan, you're going to have to be your own kind of hero."
This was the most frustrating project ever. The results were worth it though. Pulling more of the Farscape cast into their equivalant roles for Green Lantern we have: Ben Browder as Hal Jordan (again), Kent McCord (Jack Crighton) as Alan Scott, and Jonathon Hardy (Rygel) as the Guardians.
All the figures were rendered in Poser 5 and the rest of the project was done in Photoshop CS. |

"Slicker than snot"
"I certainly hope your power ring translated that wrong."
Here we have another of the GL/Farscape manips I have planned. Ben Browder continues as Hal Jordan with the Claudia Black filling the role of Star Sapphire. The image was inspired by GL vol1 Iss 41. I changed the background to the more dramatic earthscape and changed the perspective to have it fit a 4x3 aspect ratio. (I wanted Optical Intruder to have a properly sized Desktop Background.) 
In hindsight, I would have done 2 things differently. First, I obscured Hal's face too much. This was intentional as I wanted the main focus to be Star Sapphire. But, for all we know Hal could be asleep. Second, I'd like a better Flame filter. Finding good flame pics was getting difficult so I resorted to the Kai's stuff. But, I do like the composition tells the story. |

"My name is Hal Jordan... a test pilot... I was abducted, and given an alien power-ring... now I'm charged to protect this part of the universe, as part of a corp... an emensely large corp... full of strange, alien life-forms... my friends. I've made enemies...powerful, dangerous. Now all I want is to protect Earth. Look upward -- and share -- the wonders I've seen."
Alrighty, now that I've got that out of my system. This is the start of a series that MilleniumBum inspired. I'll let you figure out the theme. |

| Just playing around with custom textures and ray traced reflections. Most of this is the original render. Photoshop touchups have been done to all the edges of the costume between the green and black portions as well as the face. All the seams were photoshopped as well as the hair. I wanted the costume to looks rubbery as I was using raytraced reflections. |
