I saw a few Cap pics here, and thought I would dust off an old one of my own. Had this one kicking around the C2F site, so I dragged it over here. I can't remember the bodybuilders name, but I guess I was in a patriotic mood that day...
Peace! -Leif. |

| this is my latest as of 2/28/04. tried to do her cape, but haven't mastered material folds yet. her metal accents came out nice, though. I like doing the more obscure heroines, but finding pics is difficult. |

| Saw Janet's new costume and thought it was pretty cool. Simple yet striking. Now I know from history, that as I write this,she probably has gone through 3 more costume changes, but I hope she keeps this one in her closet. |

Enchanting!
Have to say that the headpieces on my last few manips have given me problems, but by the time I get to them, I've lost patience and am anxious to get to the next project. Maybe I should start with them first.
Interesting sidenote: Each time I try metalics, I do it a different way, and each time I'm relatively pleased with the results. Further proof that there is no one way to pull off a manip, but experimentation is key.
(still too chicken to attempt a hero with a cape, but soon...) |

While searching base models for a project, I came across this pic, and thought it would make a good Namorita.
It had a perfect background and the netting already wrapped around her. I thought this would make things simpler. I was wrong. Easier to just mask out the nude figure and go from there. Instead I spent most of my time trying to pull her body out from all those little holes in the net! AAAUUUGGH!
(Also felt it was time to switch my old "ETD" logo for my new "Matrixblur Bolt")

My first submission here...with the teamup coming up and others posting here as well promoting a peace i thought i would join in. anyway this is marrow after getting the crap beat out of her by wolverine. i opted for angelina jolie as marrow, don't know why just did. kept the outfit she had on, i think it works, it would work in the movies. i added some bruises, cuts, and various other lacerations and injuries. Primarily used the burn tool and set it to different ranges to achieve the look. the exposed bone was burned to give it that fresh out of the body look and then i just carefully transformed and masked them in. that's pretty much it. apologies on the background, i created it and masked around ms. jolie, but it never really looked good because of the limitations. thanks goes out to C2F artist Zac for the pointers and advice. Feel free to look at how i made this piece in my tutorial over at http://www.comics2film.com/ArtSchool/

| I just want to thank BA for his advice and tutorial about creases and wrinkles. This is my first manip trying those techniques. I still have to practice it a bit, but it is clear to see how they make all the difference in putting the finishing touches on a manip. Now on to learning capes! |

| OK, so now i've caught up on unposted manips. This is Eternity, one of the extremely powerful abstract Cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe. This manip might look easy, but it took an insanely long time to do. I plan to do almost all of the major Cosmic beings, including Infinity, Eon, Ego, Abraxas, all those, plus Silver Surfer, and if i'm feeling ambitious, maybe Galactus or the Watcher! |

this has took a while. the legs on the model took the longest i just couldn't get them right so i swapped them for these.still not happy with the fire effect i can't imagine what a microwave heat would look like.
i think i have to try ice-man now just to complete the set. |

brand new pic. only took me about 2hours.
the main thing that i wanted to get across was that the venom suit (ultimate spiderman that is) was not black but a dark velvety purple.
ialso added some noise to the model so that he blended more into the pic. |

Jaime Pressley as Emma Frost, caught in the middle of transforming into her diamond skin.
Face, hair and body Frankensteined together. The skin tone was all over the place, so I desaturated the piece to B&W and then recoloured everything. I did the usual stuff for the costuming. The diamond effect (which I'm really happy with) I created using a crystalline texture I made (a metallic Bryce abstract that I carved up into lots of little triangles) and a translucent mask. The light glinting off her hand I did based on a tutorial at Shiver 7 (http://www.shiver7.com/tutorials/), and the little refraction spectra were from scratch. The background (smudged Bryce, as usual) is the Xavier Institute from Grant Morrison's New X-Men.
For the logo-conscious, this was one of my first pics with a standardized logo. (I think Harley Quinn 2 was *the* first.) Yes, it's still just a handwritten B, but it's the *same* handwritten B I've used in every pic since.
I still really like this piece, though I've done better since. |

Elektra, walking away from a recent assignment.
Can't remember the model's name, but I think someone else has used this exact pic for another manip, so maybe y'all can enlighten me. Costuming done the usual way, background done the usual way. Sai made from scratch. Uh... can't really think of anything else to say. I like the bloodstain on the sign.
Um... no, that's it. |

Yeah, its recycled from my previous spiderman, but I wanted to try something different.
For best results lean back from the screen (take two asprin and close your eyes). |

| "Alone" - Milla Jovovich as Penance
Angelophile 2004/6/26 4:11

It's been a while but at last I managed to finish a new manip. This time of Penance from the Generation X Series.
I won't deny this one's been a challenge - I started out with a pic of a nude Angie Everhart and built up the costume from various other pics. I think there's about 50 or so layers in the costume alone. Her spines are a blend of sea urchin's, porcupines and any other spikey images I could find.
The model is Milla Jovovich, about the only one with that otherworldly quality that Penance needs.
Comments appreciated! |

This was done by request for WarrenPeace. Hope you like it. This was a really fast manip. I don't know very much about this character and reference pictures were really hard to find. Anyway
Here it is. Just bumping this back up to the top, cause it got pushed off the front page really fast. |

The third X-Statix girl. (And the last pic I'm posting for a while; don't want to flood the site too much!)
Winona's face, somebody's hair, somebody else's body. Costuming done the usual way. I extended her hair a bit, and made part of her breasts. The background's a photo of a supernova with a spiral effect done, and some post-production. It's supposed to be her teleportation effect.
This is the best manipped of these three pics, but Dead Girl is better overall IMO, because of the background. I really love how some of the wrinkles on this one came out, though. Problems... the face is too bright. |

I did this after a fellow artist (and good friend) at C2F asked me for more X-Statix pics. This was a couple months after Dead Girl.
Alyssa Milano's head on a nude model's body. Costuming done the usual way, generic Roman-type background done in Bryce and smudged.
This is okay, but not as good as Dead Girl. The nose and neck are wonky, the background's too generic, and it's too smudgy in spots (even by my standards). I also should have made the energy brighter. |

First HeroMorph posting!
This is, as the text says, Milla Jovovich as Dead Girl. It was about my ninth or tenth manip. Milla was originally posing for Versace. I gave her a slight haircut, got rid of her dress, then added the costume. I did the background in the 3D modelling program Bryce, and smudged it to match the painted look of the rest of the piece. Yes, it's supposed to look painted, not photorealistic.
My main problem with this piece, looking at the piece now, is the logo. It's floating, and completely lacks depth. There's also some ugly edges around, God alone knows why I never got rid of them. (shakes head)
This was the best manip I did for a very long time, and I'm still proud of it. |

another nova from me. i have a thing right now for fiery femmes, my next one will be fire star.
quite a simple pic, the base was just some chick jumping in the air so i desaturated it, inverted it and using the curves, created a more metallic look.
the fire was done using the clouds filter and different lighting effects but what i like the most is the reflections. it makes her more a part of the pic rather than simply being placed on top of a baxkground.
oh! and i did the background from scratch in case anyone was wondering.
enjoy! |
