| Super (Power) Girl? by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder DC Comics 2003/9/23 14:02 17197 13
I started messing around with this one out of boredom, and because people had posted both the source pic and the costume reference on the site. I was going to see how quickly I could complete a decent photomanip. The costume took about 45 minutes. Then the cape started to drive me up the freaking wall. I think I spent twice as much time on it than the rest of the piece. It's a bunch of chopped up pieces from other pictures. The shoulders were the hard part. I had to filter and liquify them into the right shape. Since the model is blonde, I made her Powergirl instead of Lois Lane. |

Better known as the procrastination piece. I worked on this one on and off for the better part of 3 years, I kept putting off making those yellow pads and was having a hard time coming up with a background. |

Experimentation with lighting effects and reflections on the costume. |

| Polaris by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder Marvel Comics 2003/8/21 9:14 7696 13
Polaris in her costume from Magneto:Dark Seduction. This is one of my favorite manips. I love how the mask came out. |

Another costume change for Unusual States. Not a huge fan of this one. Redid the metal parts in my Metals tutorial. |

|
| Batlektra by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder Other Comics 2004/10/18 8:13 6638 12
My version of the Batgirl/Elektra amalgam. I wanted to try out this cloth painting tutorial here: http://www.mysticalmodality.com/html/tutorials/clothpainting.html I started with the blindfold and worked my way down. I was more practiced by the time I got down to the leg sash, which came out damn near perfect. (The original model was only wearing the fishnets and the robe or whatever around her waist.) |

Originally done for Unusual States, Total Justice is an amalgam of the JLA. |
|
| Invisible Woman by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder Marvel Comics 2003/8/26 13:35 6222 4
Another costume for the Unusual States gallery. I like how this one came out, especially the "Fantastic 4" down the one side and the Ultimate Nullifier accessory. |

| Huntress solo Optical_Intruder DC Comics 2005/3/27 22:43 6155 24
Well, I figured I'd post something... This was originally my half of my teamup with QuantumFX, but when the original was posted, it was only half the size and some details got covered up by other parts of the pic. I added a background and swapped out the head. |

Amy Weber as Troia. Bracelets and belt are all photoshop. |
|
| Female Flash by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder DC Comics 2003/9/2 12:13 5415 3
One of my earlier works. I liked the Black Flash costume and thought it would look cool in a gender swap pic. |

| She-Dragon by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder Other Comics 2003/8/21 9:13 5273 7
She-Dragon, from the pages of The Savage Dragon. |
|
| Green Lantern Secret Origins Optical_Intruder DC Comics 2005/9/3 21:20 5240 9
My first experiment with photomanipulations using Poser. The original figures were bare nekkid and rendered in Poser 5. Kyle: Head is a combination of the poser head and a screen cap of Kerr Smith in Final Destination. The hair is from a photo of Kerr from his website. The ring is from the cover to Green Lantern: Fear Itself. Everything else is me & Photoshop. Ganthet: Figure completely done in poser using a child model that I turned blue, cut off at the knees, and gave hair. The robe was completely done using the same technique I used in the Batlektra photomanip. He lost some definition and detail when I blurred him into the background. I can post him seperately if anyone's interested. |

| The 10th Muse by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder Other Comics 2003/8/26 13:51 4790 4
Done as part of the 10th Muse/Savage Dragon crossover cover contest. Started to throw a lot of detail into this one: the stitching on the leather, the pounded metal look of the breastplates, etc. Unfortunately, the base pic they provided was a bit washed out. |

| Female Vision by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder Marvel Comics 2003/9/8 10:11 4600 5

One of my earliest manips. |
|
| Savage Dragon/10th Muse by Optical Intruder Optical_Intruder Other Comics 2003/8/26 13:53 4250 2
My submission to the 10th Muse/Savage Dragon crossover cover contest. I won second place, which isn't bad, considering I only had 5 days to do it. Looking back, I should've put more work into the Dragon, I put most of my effort into the Muse. |

| Wonder Woman colors Optical_Intruder DC Comics 2006/3/12 6:15 3689 5
Peeks around corner, posts, throws down a smoke pellet and *Poof!* disappears... |
|
| Guardian Optical_Intruder DC Comics 2005/9/3 21:21 3605 5
A part of the Green Lantern poser pic I did earlier. Ganthet here was blurred into the background, but the costume came out so well I wanted to post it seperately. Body by poser, costume 100% me and photoshop from scratch. |
