| I did this a while ago, It was another experiment in changeing colours (the outfit she's wearing was black). I love how the Bat Symbol came out, but hate the collar. |

This is an obscure (to me, anyway) character that VL suggested.
Well, VL, how do you like it? I tried to match your colored version's pose as best I could.

*updated production notes*
If I keep getting all these compliments, I'll get a big head! (Not that I mind...)
I keep getting asked the question, so here's a pretty basic answer:
How did I do the Fathom pic? Well... I'll try to explain it. I started with the concept. I wanted to do a Fathom pic that both showed her body and her powers in an interesting way, so I settled on the concept of her in water form swimming in the ocean.
I went into Poser and used the Poser 4 Nude Female model, and played until I was happy with her positioning. I relaized pretty early on that I wanted a real face. There are some things you can cheat away with poser, the face isn't really one of those... I wanted the clear lines and a definite pose, though, so scrounging through hours of source pics didn't appeal to me. For some reason, whenever I see a Fathom comic, I think of Claire Forlani, so she was my first (only, really) choice for the facial model. I scrounged up a decent pic of her and went searching for a base pic for the background. I ended up grabbing a pic that someone rendered in a 3d program of the sea bed.
Next, I set about attaching Claire's lovely face to the poser body, both of which I had desaturated. I matched the greys as closely as I could and then inverted the image to a photo negative. I applied the "plastic wrap" filter to the image with a fairly high highlight strangth, a medium level of detail, and a low level of smothness, to give the "watery" appearance. I duplicated the layer, and set one layer to a "hard light" setting with an opacity of 36%, and the other to a "luminosity" setting at the same opacity. The low opacity and layer settings allow the figure to seem transparent but solid at the same time.
Then I created a new, empty layer with the following effects: drop shadow, inner glow, inner shadow, bevel and emboss. I played with the seetings on the layer, changed the opacity to 74%, the fill to 3% and painted hair on her with a small paint brush using the color white. Unhappy with the lack of "motion" of the piece, I did another layer, similar to the hair layer, but with an outer glow, as well, and the opacity and fill set to 100%.
In this layer, I used a specail brush made of lots of individual dots. I "painted" the air bubles around her in white with it, staying roughly around the frame of her body, deleting or undoing any I didn't like.
I added a bit of grain (noise filter) to the background, to make it more photo-real, and then did the logo and signature.
Yes, there are an infinite number of little tweaks I gave the pic all the way through the process, but I can't remember them all without going through each saved version of the image (I save A LOT so that I can remember how I did a particular effect, or go back a step if necessary. Repeating your successes is much easier that way, as is avoiding repeating those elements which are particularly unsuccessful.) This is just the bare bones of how I did the pic.
Whaddya think? |

First, let me say the only reason why I choose this character was because she is a very obscure one. And because for U.S., well? we have lots to choose from and I?m trying to show in this series some more unknown characters.
I also tried some new things in this one, like a new technique for fire, some ?frankensteining? and tried to make her uniform to look a bit like metal.
About the character, her powers are from magic origin and she?s able to control and create flames. Her control is such that she can create weapons out of flame (I tried to show that with her axe).
She was publish by Quality Comics, in the Smash Comics comic book. Created by Bob Turner and Jim Mooney in 1941.
Oh yeah, her name is Wildfire.

This is my entry for the Gillian challenge. I originally was going to do something more like what MissVee did. But by the time I got around to working on it. I just could not think of anything original to do with Roswell porn that would make it funny.
So I went a whole different direction with this one.
Again I was inspired by BA's recent experimentations to create this. I used a whole different method to get this result mind you. See comments for details.
Gillian Anderson as Fairchild. |

| wanted to try a more stylized effect for a change. took a manip I did of zealot and put her into a Bryce scene and added a .3ds dragon. Brought the compiled pic into Photoshop and played with color. Lots of color. I airbrushed the lava drool in photoshop. using levels and saturation, I got a look thats a bit more "painted" than photorealistic. could've spent more time on the finishing details, but I liked the colors, so I stopped. |

DISCLAMER: this picture was waaay oversized when i posted it originally. so here's the optimized-for-web version, sized down considerably. i will now re-post the original description MODERATORS PLEASE DELETE PREVIOUS POST *ahem*:
You want obscure, here's obscure. I'm not sure how many Heromorphers are Hero Alliance Fans. Alot of great artists got their start on this comic. This group manip depicts some of the team's members, standing in front of the ruins of the Guardmen Complex destroyed by a villain named Sepulchre, killing most of the team. This is how Hero Alliance got their start, in the wake of the Guardmen disaster. I love these characters, and alot of detail was lost in the grouping process, so if anyone wants to see an individual manip or two let me know! Also, some of you may noticed that the bases for Victor and Kris are identical to the first two manips i ever posted here. I think if you compare my old Victor/Kris manips to these, you can see marked improvement. What do you think? Enjoy!
