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.. |

There's just something about floating Superheroes...
What are MicroMax and Betsy up to? Can Captain Britduck save the day? You'll have to buy the issue to find out...
My "art notes" will be the first post.
---- 12 hours later edit:
This image has been updated, the circles and the couple were adjusted slightly.

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. |

| "Atrophy" - Generation X's Penance

The final figure for my Generation X manip, Penance has actually come together pretty quickly - it took about three or four hours to complete this image. The costume was maniped from various straitjacket pics, with an unnamed model providing the basic catsuit.
Penance's "actress" is Mila Jovovich. The hair started ut as dreadlocks and I created the spins using Photoshop's liquidize tool.
I'm pretty pleased with the end result - I think the hair's an improvement over the previous Penance figure I did. |

| Lorna Dane, in an original design inspired by John Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men uniforms. I also brought back her head-piece she wore during her first tenure with the X-Men, but updated it, adding the "look" of her Sh'iar costume. Accents on her gloves and boots reveal her Magnetic heritage! ;) |

| "Alone" - Milla Jovovich as Penance

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! |

| "*Zzzzap!*" Tori Spelling as Electro

Tori started out standing on a kitchen counter in the base pic, and the reason her head's chopped off is that's the way it was in the base, and I felt like leaving it that way. Spider-Girl is off the cover of #65. Lightning was done using a tutorial, plus setting one of the lightning layers to Screen. The second-to-last 10% on this one was her mask, I threw away the first version. This is another one to answer Optical's challenge. On this one I _did_ make the background. Don't be surprised if it shows up again...
Oops! Spelled the word "Zzzzap" wrong. |

| VALKYRIE

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.
Model: Hannah Hilton |
