This was a quickie I did last Halloween for my aforementioned goth friend. Hardly more than a cut-and-paste, although I removed her name to uh, protect the not-so-innocent shall we say, before posting it here at HM.
Could make a nice Halloween greeting.

I decided to double up on some of these older files since they're rather small, and I still seem to have many of them. So for those that have asked for more I hope this will double your pleasure, double your fun. :)
But if not, we can still take a look at the two I selected. Notice how both use the same headshot for entirely different results. (At least, if I remember correctly they are in fact the same.) Next post I'll do just the opposite, I'll use the same model but with different headshots.
That bat top took most of the work as I recall.

| I did this last year for a goth friend of mine, who loves to party in her jacuzzi. Not much here, except that the reflections in the pool were a little tricky as well as the spiderweb brassiere. The head shot was grainy and blurry and had to be cleaned up a lot, and she had to grow new hair. |

--For ghosts, goths, ghoulfriends...
Okay...I've only posted a few files here so far, but anyone familiar with them has probably already noticed I tend to go for realism rather than a fantasy style. But for this image, did I want to make the character into a "real" ghoul, or make it look like a model who was simply made up to look like one?
The original image is of a fitness model natch, but I didn't like the squatting, legs apart position. I wanted the legs together, making the entire form more biomorphic, and therefore more feminine. So I "rebuilt" everthing from the waist down using as much as possible from the original ( I can post the original in the cookie jar if anyone cares) and whatever else I could put together, mostly on the left leg. Same with the feet (what a pain...) Then bosoms...wasn't sure whether to add the sleeve/shroud negligee thang or not. Even the face had to be composed from different pictures (I didn't realize that Lily had two different makeup styles).
After all that, I didn't want to just blanche the body. I used blending options to keep the low-lights showing through as red, suggesting that it is indeed intended to be just a model wearing theatrical makeup and photographed "in camera". To further emphasize the point, I even put screw eyes into the floor, fastening down the spider web. Ha!
I still go back and forth as to whether that rear leg convincingly exists in space, but I'm so sick of looking at this thing that maybe it's time to cal it a day.

Okay lounge lizards! I decided to do one last She-Hulk a la Jessica Rabbit. This time I wanted a different approach, something between Mr. Android's technique and Mr. DarkBlade's technique (see Forum). As you can see the art is for her new CD cover.
Special thanks to Mr. Wolf who first got me inspired by 50's diva Julie London, and Mr. OCP for loading the sound file. Shulkie sings Julie London in this new retro CD. It should be her last cover for awhile (unless of course she recreates the layout for Ms. London's " Calendar Girl" album)! |

The Heromorph fundraiser games continue, hosted by Lady HM. So far, the Heroines and Villainesses Pie Throw event has been a surprise money maker, especially since none of the pastries involved sold at the HM bake sale. Next up is DC super villainess Poison Ivy. Ivy blows a kiss as if in defiance of the next thrower, whose turn it is to pie Pam's pulchritudinous puss as Wonder Woman and referee JrMcDeath look on.
Who is it?

Brief Update: Jr's request is honored. So, can Firestar be next?
Brief Update 2: Okay, then. I was actually not going to continue with this series, but since you insist, VL...
(And yes, as it happens I would care for kiss!)
Hope it's satisfactory. |

After testing and tasting a few more pies, Lady HM (see HM Fundraiser II) officially opens the Heroines and Villainesses pie throwing game, a HeroMorph fundraiser. The beautiful and valiant Wonder Woman sure makes a nice first target, especially for this unexpected participant who brazenly slips past referee Jr. and crosses the throw line to taunt Di with a pie. Although a messy situation, there is no need to alert the media.
Who is she?

Normally people dress up as spooks for Halloween. So what do normal spooks do for Halloween--dress up in something silly? Sexy? Or a combination thereof? The housepets are no less amused, as the raven laughs while the dragon gropes.

A little unfinished, an idea I had for a poster. Which I might do if ever I get time to include a background.
Update: 'kay I finally got this the way I wanted it. Changed Shulkie's bikini from gold to purple, and added weight room w/ bground figures. 1000% improvement!

More bad burlesque, this was actually much more difficult than it looks. Besides being just a head swap, it's also a bikini swap, boob swap, hair swap, other added parts and lots of retouching. The only thing left of the original model is the arms. I should post all my references just to show how far removed the final image is from its source. Very much like customizing a stock car but with a different type of body.
Building the staircase was the worst. But if that wasn't enough, I had to establish convincing consistent light throughout (hope it worked) and added the same crappy noise and distortions on all objects to give the impression that this is is an authentic screen cap.
I think I got all seams covered. |

You wouldn't believe the junk I had to make this image out of. Perhaps my most franked image to date. But, thanks to MissVee's fine art direction, I believe I've convincingly pulled it off (look up BG by MissVee in the Comic Art Gallery). I practically traced right over it.
It went pretty fast at first, but then after tying eveyrthing together and then texturing, it went v-e-r-y s-lo-w-l-y. Many parts had to be enlarged and painted over to restore resolution. I then used broad areas of color of different values to create a minimal sense of an interior.
I could probably work on this thing forever, but I'm not. |

Part of a continuation that has yet to be finished, however the costuming technique seems to be getting easier to render and may be the most natural looking I've done to date.
This one got me kicked off a previous site for the "What a great rack" line. Can you believe it? |

Another HM cover for the Vee Stories title, this is a variation on a theme from a previous manip, "Batgirl v. Joker", http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=7992. The art is stylized once again in the manner of the Bronze Age comic style (hence the 25c and no UPC). This time it's Harley Quinn rather than Joker administering the mayhem on Batgirl, using one of MissVee's very favorite recipes.
Not sure why I left off Harley's tights. |

1. Promo shot for a new television show tentatively titled either "At Home With April" or more simply "The April Fewells Show". The new show was to be based on Ms. Fewells stage sketch comedy-variety, and featuring her wacky house pets. Only one episode was taped without incident, then production shut down indefinitely. A side note: In one of the adjoining TV studios where the evening news was broadcast, a popular investigative crime reporter died of mysterious circumstances.
April is seen here again as a brunette.
2. In her segment "Mouse in the House", the ever-inventive April has a ruse to eradicate a pesky, refrigerator raiding rodent by donning a catsuit. Lots of bogus canned laffter, thrills and chills as cold things get poured down her open front.
My personal fave: The "RetroFreeze" refrigerator prop (my own design). |

Colorized version of the sketch posted in the HFC. A scene from April's performance at the world famous Charlie Horse Saloon, in which she appeared for two nights only.
The kitschy set was done in the late Looney Tunes fashion, where the colors are off register from the objects. Mysteriously, it wasn't fire retardant, which later caused the Charlie Horse cabaret to burn to the ground.
