Finally finished this piece which has taken me just over a month in all to complete. Would have been done sooner but kept adding more characters.
In the end from left to right, with their actors and actresses, the characters are Sunspot Aka Roberto DeCosta (Wilmer Valderrama), Mirage Aka Danielle Moonstar (Karina Lombard), Meltdown Aka Tabitha Smith (Christina Applegate), Magma Aka Amara Aquilla (Unknown), Wolfsbane Aka Rahne Sinclair (Kiera Knightley), Karma Aka Xi'an Coy Manh (Jaymee Ong) and Cannonball Aka Samuel Guthrie (Christopher Masterson).
All work was done in Photoshop 7 using a mix of visual effects created with Photoshop's own filters in conjunction with Eye Candy 4000 and Alien Skin Xenofex.
Hope everyone agrees the end result was worth all the work. |

| Well, it's not Halle Barry. It's an old manip with a member of Destiny's child as Storm (don't remember the name), but i thought I should submit it anyway. |

| An old manip (the first I actually finished) of Deathbird. Some good, some bad. But I had to try. Guess I have a thing for beutiful, psycho-killer women!? I wonder what Freud would say about that. ;) |

| "Bad to the Bone" - Fairuza Balk as Marrow

Another old pic but one I'm most pleased with. This photomanip takes one of the most underrated X-men characters and uses Fairuza Balk (The Craft, American History X) as her 'fantasy casting'.
The body model is Angelina Jolie, taken from a Tomb Raider publicity still. Bones came from various sources. |

The last thing I'll post tonight...
Probably my favorite of all the pieces I've done. The base pics/poses were rendered as nude bodies (without genitalia) in Poser, and then wverything else was added digitally. Costumes, hair, background, etc... All digital painting.
The ONLY bit that's real is the smidge of Edward Norton's face that I used for Hornet's face... Oh... And I lifted the logo from a comic book, then touched it up and textured it (glossy/ -ish).

I have always wanted Iman to play Storm in the movies. And I think the original costume is still the best.
This is my first photo-manip where none of the original photo is left. I completely painted over it in Photoshop. |

| THE PUNISHER #1 COVER

DISCLAIMER: This image consist of one ore more pictures from different source material (i.e. internet, periodicals, books etc.) to resemble a character owned by Marvel Comics. No permission was asked or given.
It has been a while since I submitted anything (art wise to this site); and while this was not the picture I intended to submit first it was the one that I felt was the most finished.
Using a picture of Thomas Jane (the actor playing the Punisher in the movie version of the comic) I basically pieced together a close facsimile of the original
Tim Bradstreet????????s Punisher # 1 Cover. (See original cover here http://www.punisher-art.com/artists/bradstreet/covers/bradstreet_maxi/bradstreet_1.jpg).
The hardest part (and also the part I don????????t think I fully captured) was the orange tint the original picture had, but I did what I could with out killing the whole picture with orange.
While I welcome praise I would appreciate ???????CONSTRUCTIVE??????? criticism more (if you don????????t like me or something I????????ve done don????????t take it out on my work). And I am constantly checking my old work to see it there are any new comments so even if my work is old by the website????????s standards if it????????s new to you leave your two cents

| "Memorium" - Maggie Q as Psylocke
Angelophile 2004/2/5 6:47

Originally I planned to produce an image of the early Psylocke from the X-men comics, but gradually that changed to producing two manips of Betsy then and her more recent incarnation (in the body of an Asian ninja). In the end though, the latter took over completely. (It was a lot easier to find pictures of women in leather than pink chifon. Go figure.)
A large number of pictures were used in the creation of this manip - The legs are Sarah Michelle Gellar's, the torso created from a number of leather tops. All in all it's a bit of a mix mash, the only 'complete ' element is the face of Hong Kong star Maggie Q as Psylocke's actress.
(Edit - Tidied up the hair and arms where they looked a bit blurred, as well as trying to standardise her flesh and leather tones.) |

| This one is pretty simple, but the model really reminded me of Dagger. I updated it based on feedback to make the costume look more like cloth and seperate from her skin. |

Well, I havent posted anything in awhile, and todayI found myself playing with fire.
This went together very quickly and I didnt really have any particular character in mind.
I would have titled it Nova except I had forgotten she was shiny at that point. |

This is my second attempt at a photomanip... still not where I would like it to be at ...oh well. Oh, the model is from a base I really liked in the adults section--as soon as I saw it I thought Jean Grey :)
Comments, criticisms and ESPECIALLY tips are most appreciated.

A portrait I have produced inspired by a character from X-men End Times mux (Telnet xet.vulpine.org 2104) played by a friend of mine. This is Kelly Hiraga, otherwise known as Hardwire, technopath, daughter of the mythos Old One Nyarlathotep and currently, for the second time dead.
The image uses Zhang Ziyi (from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) as a model for the face, model Kona Carmack for the body, while the metalic effects are both inspired by and blended with elements of Giger's work. |

| Well, to tell the truth, it's not quite done yet. I should add the belt, make the shoes look like part of the suit and work more on the highlights... but I ran out of energy. So, this will have to do. |

Well, I'm not the first one to make a she-hulk manip with this base-picture, but so what?
Pretty straight forward work: Increase muscle-size on arms and leg, turn her green, add suit... |

| "Twilight" - Thandie Newton as Nocturne
Angelophile 2004/2/13 4:07

Nocturne, the alternate reality daughter of Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch from the Exiles comic was a character I felt would be challenging as a photomanip. And, to be honest, it was inspired by a photo of Jolene Balock in subdued lighting from Maxim. The pic seemed to suit so well I was inspired to produce this photomanip.
The angles have all been changed to allow Nocturne to be clinging to the rockface rather than sprawled on the floor. Colourations were changed in Photoshop as per usual. All in all she's ended up looking rather like her Granny Mystique which is no bad thing. |

| Alright! Finally I have a manip to post! Took a total of 5 days to do this ( wasn't easy between work, the kids, and the wife) and finally I just got tiredof staing at it. Turned out pretty good, all things considered. The hair needs some work, but that was proving to be a serious painin the you know what, backgound could've been better, foregorund too (or the ground rather). O.k. pick it apart now guys. |

The model is Katie Price (aka Jordan). I turned her into a brunette, altered her face, painted her fur, lines and silver cat-head by hand, and added the tail. Tough and challenging; I will never do fur again!
But I must admit, I'm quite happy with the result  |

| "Black & White" Marvel Team-Up (Sage & Emma Frost)
Angelophile 2004/2/14 12:57

Didn't come through in time for February's contest, but I decided to go ahead and finish the manip as a personal challenge. My take on the Marvel Team-Up cover using Emma Frost and Sage from the X-men comics.
More frankensteining used on their costumes, which I'm pretty pleased with as (for once) I've stuck true to canon. Lot of work went into Sage's costume. By comparison Emma's was easy. (Probably since there's so little of it ;) Comments appreciated as always.. |

Number one in my "along came a spider theme"
see the other 2 in the Adult Gallery
This manip started simple and became the beast from hell. As anyone whose done a Spidergirl manip can attest to "those damn weblines are killer!"
Took creative liscense with the costume variation (I thought it robbed her of her femininity to hide her eyes lips and hair)
comments welcome (praise and cash, even more so) |

My first version of this manip was the wrong color (bad research). But U guys corrected my mistake, so here is an updated, silver-suit, version.
Hope U like this one better. |

why is so difficult to find a good photo of a male model. this was a toss-up between DD and Spider-man, i might Spider-man sometime but all the negative remarks about how difficult it is to do the webs kinda puts me off.

this was done in a few hours. maybe i could have spent more time on the belt but i really didn't know what to do with it.
the pouches were cut and paste and seem to work.
anyway that's enough apology, now tell me what's wrong with it. |

i enjoyed doing this pic. i think when you start to do an image that you are dreading and suddenly you can see it working out, it can be a surprise.
i drew in the webs, added some extra shading and also tilted his head up a bit. the base pic was a guy lying on the floor and when i rotaed it the head seemed to hang downwards. i also experimented with light sources on this one.
