It's my first (read 2nd) time playing with photoshop as I was
weaned on livepix (the majority of this is livepix).
For the most part this is unfinished because I originaly set out to cover her in fur, but it just was not working.
I might try again when I've have more practice with fur (thank you photoshop).
I went back to earlier drafts and realized that I just couldnt cover up such a beautifull woman. There is a lot of details I would change, but what the heck... Stick a fork in her she's done.
Thanks for the inspiration... I just might learn something.

(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? |

Ingrid Vandebosch as Peta Maximoff, Wanda's hyperactive sister. Saw Imij Factory's Quicksilver on C2F, saw the base pic and one pale imitation later...
Slight update of the version on C2F.
Official Denial: The original Quicksilver is a Marvel character. This one is just a knock-off.

One of my favorite X-Men fighting a cool X-villain.
Wanted to try an action shot and since models in such poses are exceedingly rare I had to frankenstein it.
Kitty is made from 3 pics, (legs, head, and sleeves 'n hands,) the rest of her jacket is painted from scratch.
Pyro is two pics, plus some of the flamethrower parts. His costume still needs some work, but I'm getting a little burned out on this one (pardon the pun) figured I'd post it as is before starting my next pic.

The last thing I'll post tonight...
Probably my favorite of all the pieces I've done. The base pics/poses were rendered as nude bodies (without genitalia) in Poser, and then wverything else was added digitally. Costumes, hair, background, etc... All digital painting.
The ONLY bit that's real is the smidge of Edward Norton's face that I used for Hornet's face... Oh... And I lifted the logo from a comic book, then touched it up and textured it (glossy/ -ish).

She-Hulk must be one of the easiest characters to manip.
This is just a quickie, took me more time to find a model than to make it, about 30 min. doing the manip. 
Background by Biohaz's Background Pack 1.
*update* : Fixed the gloves and upper back uniform.
Thankz bhm, Hisstoryman, Android, BRaZZZil, Dryad and chowyspizz for your comments about the errors on this image. My only excuse was I was only paying attention to the colors and forget the other things.  |

| Fantasia was a member of the Supreme Soviets. The team had been sent by the Soviet government to capture the Soviet Super-Soldiers, who were attempting to defect to the United States. Fantasia disguised the team members with an illusion to appear as members of the Avengers: Red Guardian as Captain America, Perun as Thor, Crimson Dynamo as Iron Man, and Sputnik as the Vision. Eventually, the real Captain America defeated the Supreme Soviets and freed the badly wounded Soviet Super-Soldiers |

This is probably my favourite (sp?) manip
The actor is Chris Hemsworth a pretty much unknown from Australia.
Havn't seen many other frankenstein manips so hope I put this in the right section :S |
