| 'Stripped' - Kirsten Dunst as Husk

| This is about the fifth attempt I've had at producing a Husk photomanip - unfortunately none of the others worked out at all. Evidence that not every image works out as you'd hope. I've always liked the character from Generation X to her current run in Uncanny X-men, although it was only when I came to do this photomanip I realised what a gross mutant ability she has. |

| 'Perfect' - Bianca Lawson as Monet

M was created using a number of different model's pics - her body is made up from a few images of Christina Aguilera, Dona Speir, Izabella Miko and others. M's actress is Bianca Lawson, probably most well known as Kendra the Slayer from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The outfit came from various sources, again Christina Aguilera as well as various pics of the cast of Coyote Ugly from FHM magazine if I remember rightly. |

Well still rereading old comics and back in the day Rogue was defined by her inability to touch or be touched by other people. Then I found this base pic. And since my last pic was a kinda run of the mill Rogue I thought the character deserved a better effort from me. Hope you enjoy.

Went completely over the top with this one and decided to do not just one manip of Rahne of New Mutants and X-men fame, but all three of her forms.
I've attempted to bring some sense to it by doing it in 'comic strip' form. Hope people think it works. |

| "Unmovable" - Michael Badalucco as Blob

Because I just -know- everyone on this forum wants to see more semi-naked fat men. Go on. Admit it, you do!
*ahem* Okay, maybe not.
It was mostly created using a number of pictures of weightlifters and bodybuilders and then deforming them in Photoshop with the liquify tool and spherize tool to fatten him up, while trying not to distort the idea he's strong not just obese. Hope it works.
Blob's actor is Michael Badalucco, a semi-familiar face from films like Leon, Summer of Sam, The Man Who Wasn't There and O Brother Where Art Thou? |

A man had a bad case of stuttering. He went to many doctors over the years, but none of them could help him. Finally one doctor said to him "I believe I found the reason for your stuttering".
The man asked, "Wha.. wha.. wha..what is my pro.. pro.. problem."
The doctor replied, "Your penis is very, very large. The weight of your penis is causing a strain on your larynx, and this results in your stuttering. The only solution to this is to perform a penis transplant." The man was really tired of his stuttering, so he agreed to a transplant. Several days later the doctor called the man up and informed him that they have found a suitable donor. The transplant operation was successfully performed and the man could speak without any stutter.
At first he was happy, but after a while he began to miss his large penis, and how the girls used to love it. He finally went back to his doctor and said, "Doctor, I am grateful for the opportunity you have given me to speak without a stutter, but I miss my old penis. Please find the transplant donor and tell him that we have to exchange penises back..."

| Starjammer's Hepzibah - Britanny Murphy

Done purely on a whim - when browsing through my X-men Encyclopedia I stumpled across an entry for Hepzibah - The Mephitisoid member of the Starjammers (that's alien cat-skunk person to me and you).
The 'actress' I've cast as Madame Hepzibah is Britanny Murphy (from 8 Mile amonst other things) who seemed to have the right dirty sexuality for a cat person. And the right hair. ;) |

| 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. |

| "Luck Be A Lady" - Michelle Rodriguez as Domino
Angelophile 2003/12/8 2:03

I must admit, Domino's not a character who I've followed particularly closely in the X-men comics (or X-Force or wherever it was she turned up) but she has an intriguing look, if not character.
Elements come variously from pics of Emily Booth, Lara Croft and various generic female models.
The 'actress' used for Domino is Michelle Rodriguez, of Blue Crush, Resident Evil and The Fast and The Furious fame. She seemed to have the look of someone who could wipe the floor with you and spit on your grave. |

(My original post got screwed up... so I'm reposting, cause the pic isn't there anymore... Here's most of the original text of my post...)
I've long had a pipe dream of being able to manip in photo-realism, and (while still not there by a long shot) this is a big step forward, compared to my older stuff.
I rendered the body in poser, with the 'nude muscle man' figure as the base (of course, I tweaked it a little...) The face is that of David Boreanaz, which is a reasonably close match to Brian Hitch's Cap. I've never liked the idea of Brad Pitt as Cap, or nearly all of the other suggestions that have been made. I think Boreanaz is a suitable compromise of looks and talent. After all... this ain't Shakespeare.
I replicated the costume fairly faithfully. I left out the shoulder patches (cause I really don't like them, even if the Govt. *would* put them on the costume) and tried to make the costume materials as realistic as possible, in terms of what might be used as a movie costume. I know that's not realistic looking scale mail... But I don't think they'd use realistic scale mail. I'd bet they'd use neoprene with a shiny finish, so that's what I shot for.
Fabricated/painted all the clothes with the following exceptions: I frankensteined the pouches and boots, and the wrinkles, too. All the other tidbits are mine: the seams, the wrinkles, the textures, the shadows.
For the shirt, I copied the selection to be textured to it's own layer, desaturated it, and locked the transparency.
I used the gaussian blur filter to take away the detail, and the smudge, blur, color burn, and clone tools (variously, and with various opactities, but never more than say... 30% on any one of them) to remove the nipples. This gave me the base for the textured image. I duplicated the layer again, to have a layer to play with, and used the texturizer function (with the load texture function, I used a texture called scales which comes with Photoshop 7, but I reduced the total .pdf size before I used it, to make the "scales" smaller) to do the rough scaling of the shirt.
I used the fade last effect function to back off the scaling a little bit, then opened the Liquify filter and applied the image to a wireframe I had custom made for the image, to vary the consitency and add a bit of dimension to the scales. They tend to be pinched together in the "lower places" (grooves, curves, etc...) and fuller in the broad, flat, or raised areas of the body, like the meat of the pecs and shoulders.
I pulled the opacity of the layer down a little to help take more of the stark edge off the "scales," blending it with the blurred layer beneath it.
I then duplicated the layer again, filled the non-transparent bits with a solid blue, and set the layer to color. I duplicated that layer again and set the layer mode to color burn. Then I played with the opacities of the two color layers until I was happy with the coloration.
The shield he stands on was made from scratch, using concentric, painted circles, then merging them. I used the free transform:perspective tool, and nudged it into an acceptible angle, then used the plastic wrap filter on it, twice, and faded the plastic wrap a bit on the second time (using Poser 7's fade the last effect feature).
Covered it all in a bit of noice (monochromatic, gaussian) and faded it a bit as well.
Whaddya think? |

| "Mall Rat" - Victoria Jolly as Jubilee

I'd been toying with the idea of a Jubilee manip for a while, but didn't get around to doing anything about it until fairly recently - for Jubilee's actress I've used model/actress Victoria Jolly who seems to have the features and youngish looks that Jubilee has always had.
I've had fun with this image, lifting elements from around 30 other model pics to create the image - for example, the coat is actually made up from 3 different jackets, the top Jubilee is wearing is from Christina Aguilera, the legs are Donna Air's, the hair came from a style catalogue, the hands belong to Krista Allen and Pamela Anderson - there's the usual Frankenstein's mix of body parts there. |

| "Intangible" - Lacey Chabert as Shadowcat
Angelophile 2004/1/12 3:18

Since I've been a bit tied up working on a new manip, I have a couple of old pieces still to post. This is one of them. Obviously inspired by the comic look for Shadowcat, Lacy Chabert sprung to mind after her appearance in Lost in Space and she seems to have the right look for the young Kitty Pryde.
Images came from various sources - the clothing is a blend of actual clothes and in some places simply the manipulation of skin with the Smart Blur tool to give a leather effect. The basic pose is Kelly Brook, and for once I didn't do an awful lot beyond adding clothing, combining various elements from fashion websites. |

Hopefully it leaves people wanting to see more. ;)
Comments always appreciated so I can get it right on the final version! |

| "Ecstacy" - Angelina Jolie as Stacy X

Continuing my posting of my older manips while I play catch up with my New Mutants pic.
Stacy isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I was just beginning to really like the character when she was binned from Uncanny X-men. So this is my tribute to a character with a lot of potential. Got to love the self proclaimed 'first X-man to make a living on her back'.
The snake skin effects were produced with photos of various snakes from the web,combined with other reptile pics, and then imported with use of the opacity and hue and saturation control panels in Photoshop 7.
The background image came from a performance troupe called the Fluffgirl Society. Don't ask me what they perform, I didn't dare guess from the pic.

| "Free" - Heath Ledger as Angel
Angelophile 2004/1/21 1:49

Continuing my posting of my older manips.
A photomanip that sprung to mind for no particular reason other than it will get a few friends of mine swooning. :)
The actor Heath Ledger (of A Knight's Tale fame) seemed to have the right features and 'look' for Warren as I imagined him. His face was a basis for the manip. The body came from a random tailoring site, while the feet came from another image. The background was also found randomly on the web. The wings are an amalgamation of those worn by Alan Rickman in Dogma and some worn by Jennifer Lopez for a FHM photoshoot.
The image was compiled in Photoshop 7 and finished off using the Little Fluffy Clouds filter.
