| After the Captain America and Thor concept art recently leaked, I did a quick cut & paste of all the 'official' Avengers we've seen thus far. I just wanted to see them all in one picture. |

| Just a little something I scribbled down while taking a break from my tournament pic. Deep in the jungle, King Louie encounters a witch doctor who can grant him control over fire, but the ceremony requires a human sacrifice. Louie delivers the man-cub, Mowgli, and finally has the power of man's red flower. Yes, that's supposed to be fire in his hand. |

| Inspired by the sassy, sexy Cat that appears in the Spider-Man 2 video game. A lot of frankensteining went into this, but I did all of the hair and fur by hand(by mouse..?), as well as some of the shinies in her outfit. I am pretty happy with it overall, though my edges are still rough, and the cat looks fake. |

| Kallisti's Tick picture inspired me to whip out this quickie of The Tick's arch-nemisis carving his name into the moon. Could be better, but for a quick two hour project, I am pleased. |

| Okay, I basically just re-colored a picture of Hong Kong Phooey to turn him into Iron Fist. I didn't have time to do the glowing fist effects....just use your inagination . I also accidentally made the picture reeeeeaaaaly small, which is why this is all jaggy and pixelated. |

This is actually the picture I had set out to do back when I did my first Emma Frost cover, but at the time, I couldn't find a girl in the right pose. Body is Brea Bennet, Face is Jana Cova, lettering lifted from the original comic cover, background pieced together from various google pics.

Okay so for a while, I've been wanting to do a close-as-possible reproduction of an actual comic cover. After finally deciding on a specific cover, and finding a model(Jana Cova, BB) that was as close to perfect as I could probably hope for, I was in business. I quick masked and painted on the costume(my first time trying seams and zippers-Jr, I hate you  ), franked in the bench and rose, and got the wall, arch, grass, and walkway from a couple of paintings, then finally I found a tiny strand of ivy that I duplicated 37(!) times to cover the wall. I had to give Greg Horn credit on the cover, cause it is his concept, after all. Maybe now I can get some sleep, at least until I start on my tournament pic. Post away peoples, but rememeber, any emoticons and I'll be forced to.....uh.....drink this beer!(crap, this is empty. Better go get another hostage...) |

Quote:The changes came slowly, most didn't realize, or didn't care, and accepted them. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn't. And those who didn't conform, were pushed to the side, criminalized. They became our clients. We call ourselves Runners, we exist between the gloss and the reality. the Mirror's Edge.
Whoa, it's been a while since I did one of these.
I watched Tron - Legacy a few nights ago, and noticed how much Olivia Wilde looked like Faith from the game Mirror's Edge. So I took an image of her character Quorra, used the liquify tool to make her face look more Asian, then had to paint the clothes and skin over the Tron costume. Yes, in what could be a first for this site, I took a chick that was already wearing a skin tight spandex bodysuit, and put baggy clothes on her
Anyway, knocked this one out in about 24 hours. Not my best work, but it feels good to have finished a picture.
Hope everyone is having a good holiday! |

To fully appreciate this picture, you should also see this one:
http://heromorph.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=700
Waaaayyyy back in the day, I posted my very first "for real" photomanip, a picture of Harry Connick, Jr. as Gambit. At the time, I said I would have liked to put him in a movie style costume with a 'gator skin coat, but I didn't have the skills. Today, my friends and admirers, I give you this. Not the pinnacle of photomanipulation by any means, but still much better than the first one. I decided to go with the "official" movie wallpaper look this time around, but I may still finish the full color, full body version. I have a pretty good idea of where it could be better, but I'm not really sure how to do it. Any tips? |

| Faye Valentine and Ein from the "Cowboy Bebop" anime series. If you don't know about this show, rent the dvd with the episode "mushroom samba" next time you're at the video store. Anyway, I nearly gave up on this one, but once I had the idea to put the dog in, I couldn't resist. Then I found the page curl tool and did the "old photo" effect. Not crazy about tha actual manip, but I liked the concept. Enjoy! |

| Wanted to try a flying pic. The model is Kyle Prandi of the U.S. Diving team, with a few layers of flames on him. Used a flamethrower for the trail. For being a quickie, and my first time playing with fire, I kinda like it! |

| Antagone(pronounced like ant-agony) from the show Frisky Dingo. There's a lot more I could have done with this picture, but I really needed to call it finished so I can move on to other things. Maybe I'll go back and polish it up someday. Model is Bianca Beauchamp. |

| I suppose I don't need to tell anyone here this, but drawing people in spandex is hard! Anyway, here is another of my "casting call" pics. I like Jennifer in this role because while she's really hot, she could still pull off that sort of matronly look. I thought about putting her in some sort of background, but I like the idea that she's still casting a shadow, and the white backing helps pull that off. I am having a lot of fun with this, but I swear, you guys make this look too easy. Comments? Critisisms? I would love to hear either. |

There's been a lot of talk about Angelina playing Maleficent in the live-action remake of Sleeping Beauty, so I threw this together. It was originally meant to be a quickie for a friend on another site who's a Disney freak, but once I got into it, well...I got into it. I think it's quite a bit easier to paint tight clothing on someone than loose clothing
As always, critiques are welcome |

I thought a few of you might get a kick out of this Master Shake I made out of a 32 oz Coke cup
Obviously, Frylock is more than a little skeptical about Shake escaping into the third dimension.
Also, if anyone's interested, I can provide the psd of Shake's 'skin', which I believe should be easy to apply as a 3D texture. |
