This started with the base for X-23 that when I found it I wanted to do something with it. Later X-23 won a little poll I have at my blog and things started to be on place, by suggestion of Besenidru I knew it had to be with the face of Summer Glau (seems there's a lot of people thinking the same ), so that part I frank on the original body...
When I added the background, then I thought the all scene so empty so I flipped X-23 a bit and thought why not include Wolverine as well? 
After that, still seemed something was missing in the scene... ... so I added a giant metalic hand.
It's up to you to say who it belongs. Friend or Foe?  |

This is a modern remake of Iron Man Santa (a little early for Christmas this time)
Based on a 1970's image of Iron man with toys on flyer ads on Marvel

Want to do a fight scene with Rogue but can't figure out how I'm gonna do it...
So, until then... imagine this is a relaxing moment between battles.
Hey, even superheroes need to relax sometime... |

| Jean Grey: Throughout the Ages part 2

After the defeat of Factor Three in 1964, Jean was given the opportunity to design new, more colorful costumes for the X-Men. This was what she designed for herself, although it begs the question, what the hell was she smoking? I was never a fan of this costume, but I had to include it as part of the chronology.
Next up: The X-Factor Years
UPDATE: fixed the belt buckle and added texture to the costume. |

| CALLISTO
Hisstoryman 2008/7/6 17:31

Callisto was born a mutant with highly evolved senses and extreme beauty. The last was stripped from her when she was attacked and scarred becaused of her mutant powers.
She fled underground, literally, to the bowels of New York City where she helped create a safe haven for other mutants deep under the city. Callisto is an expert hunter, tracker, and knife expert.
This scene takes place in the abandoned City Hall Station in New York City. Armed with her favorite weapon, Callisto also wears a souvenir of when she kidnapped the X-Man Angel. In the lower left, fellow Morlock, Caliban pokes his head into the picture.
Notes: I cheated a bit on this one. The leather vest/bodice were, obviously, already on the model. The pants were drawn by me as were the arm and neck bands. The knife came from a sword web site and Caliban's head, I think, is the fighter/wrestler Butterbean.
MODEL: MINDY MAIN |

| Jean Grey: Throughout the Ages part 1

This is the first in a series I am working on. I'm going to use the same base image to depict Jean Grey in the various costumes she's worn over the years. Beginning at the beginning, this is the very first costume she ever wore in X-Men back in 1963.
This is a labor of love for me. Jean's always been one of my favorite comic book characters (I've got a thing for redheads), and I very much want to do this series justice. So, any constructive criticism you may have for me will make this series that much better.
The model is Heather Carolin. I was compelled to search out pics of her for a base Jean Grey image after seeing the incredible Firestar manips done by Wasmith over in the member's gallery.
p.s. I toyed with the thought of putting seams on the costume, but discarded the idea because I wanted to keep this first one simple. The great thing about the original X-Men uniforms was their simplicity and I felt that adding seams all over the place would clutter the image and contradict the result I was going for. |

A recreation of "Phoenix Endsong". Took a couple liberties with the hair, but I tried to stay true to the original artwork.
And of course, I couldn't have done it without stunningly beautiful photos of Jennifer Korbin. My ideal Jean Grey and all her identities and clones. |

| VALKYRIE
Hisstoryman 2008/6/30 5:17
3738 5
UPDATE: Did a complete redo of the cape, added a texture to it, not sure why I didn't before.
A longtime member of The Defenders, Valk has had two hosts for her divine form. The first was ocialite, Samantha Parrington the second and most famous was Barbara Norriss.
The word Valkyrie comes from, Old Norse Valkyrja "Choosers of the Slain". The king of the gods Wooden (Odin) would send his warrior women to Migard (Earth) in order to collect the souls of the bravest warriors. They would them bring them to Great Hall of Asgard where they would take part in never ending feasts and battles.
The Valkyries according to the myths actually rode on wolves, not horses as they are commonly depicted. I elected to go the horse route for this piece.
Note: This manip started out as Wonder Woman International: Scandinavia, until I remembered that there was one, of a sort. Marvel Comics' Valkyrie.
I went through several models until a chance search at Freeones.com brought up Hannah Hilton. After seeing her the choice became a no-brainer. The horse is a Lipizzaner stallion and
"Asgard" in the background is Edinburgh Castle. The infamous rainbow bridge come from a clip art drawing that I "Warp Tool-ed" the heck out of and then used the Overlay blend on.
Hope you enjoy it, and please do not be afraid to comment and rate it. I have a thick skin.

This one took me a while. I spent the last 3 days going back and forth between this and another project.
The model was listed only as Anya on the site where I found the base image.
Lockheed was the easy part.

The model is Katie Cannon.
I personally think I took a step back with this one, but I've done all I can do. The only way I could possibly do better with this one would be to start all over and there's no guarantee that it would turn out better. It looks like the definition of simplicity, but it actually turned out to be one of the more complex pieces I've done so far; definitely the most time consuming, anyway.
Any criticism and/or observations will greatly help me improve.
p.s. It is going to be a VERY long while before I work with white again. Guess I'll have to put that Power Girl project on the backburner for a while.

The delectable Gauge as Rogue. Although, from her movies, we all know that Gauge can be touched, but she still leaves you drained afterwards. Pulled this image from our very own cookie jar.
Do you guys think I should try adding the bulky leather jacket? It seemed like it would be a bit much considering how much space she's taking up in the picture. |

A quick, or so I thought, and fun, it started out that way, little project that I hoped to have done by Father's Day. Obviously that did not happen.
After three different models and upteenth redesigns of the hair, I present her to you.

Hey guys,
Here's my next image. I found the source when I was looking for images for a different picture and decided I wanted to give it a shot. I know there's a lot of folks out there that don't like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. I think he does a really good job.
Enough of that. Any feedback and comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks! |

| Well what to say about this one. Took a little while here. Lots of paths and lots of stuff with the pen tool. Four Days straight work, and about 4 hours or so a day. Not happy with some things but they are good enough. The Model is from MC Nudes her name is Dora. This was for a guy I work with here. And I liked the way she looked. Besides the model I borrowed a 3D Goblin that was from a google search. Edited him up a bit. The rest my friends is mine. Someday I may get a tablet, might make it easier? Dunno. But I do like the way this came out here. Of course take a look, and always glad for comments. Of course all respective items and character are copyright of Marvel here. |
