hi folks, oh it's been a long time since i've done any pics. sorry i've been away for a while but u have tried to keep up with things here at HM.the quality of work is still pretty high here but i guess that was never going to change.
i always feel that a human torch pic helps me get back into the swing of things, so here's one. |

| This is an unfinished redo of my lousy first attempt @ Spiderman. The webbing is still stiff (i know)I haven't warped it to contour his body yet and i think I should go back and UNembevel the plastic-looking outline of the red portion of his suit; replacing it with a more realistic seam and throw in a few creases. Anyway, her'es what i have so far.... |

| Well, here's my second attempt. I did cut alot of corners since I was short on time. I know, Supergirl's cape looks kinda fake, and Spidey, well, let's just say that I've still gotta lot to learn. The webing on his suit was taking me too long so I just left it out. I chose a honeycomb pattern to try and imitate the real spidey suit. Sure, I could've just found a pic of the real suit and pasted it to the image but I'd rather keep practicing with creating the suit from scratch. Well, let me know how I can improve. Thanks for any suggestions... |

| Been a while since I posted and made some art. With the second child's birth and me being on vacation I had some time. So this is what I got. The Model is Cassia Riley. This just looked good at a climbing picture. The background is a free 3d desktop I found. Added in the building. The Type ect. I am pleased very much with this one. Take a look and let me know. Of course as always opinions are always so much welcomed! Thanks! |

| Once again it's been a while since I've posted anything here, but life gets in the way of art far too often. Recently I was approached by a friend who wanted to commission a manip of Jennifer Morrison of House as Spider-Woman, so...this is the result. She was very pleased, so I assume it turned out ok. |

Please take in mind that I have not done a manip in 15 months or more and I wasn't all that great when I did do manips.
If anyone knows who the model is please tell me. I'd like to practice with her some more. Thanks. |

Wow, hard to believe my last submitted photomanip was in 2005. Life just snowballs sometimes and I have a load of unfinished manips which'll probably never see the light of day. To get me back into things I decided to do a quick photomanip of Tigra (although quick is a relative term in my case) for no real reason other than I saw a pic I thought was suitable. I barely know the character beyond her Civil War appearances, so if I've missed some important detail off this piece of cheesecake, I apologize.
The model used is Sabrina Rojas. |

Came across some shots of the new Venom statue from Spiderman 3 made by Side Show collectibles, and was blown away. I absolutely had to do a manip using it. And so...... about 4 hours later, I without a doubt, now have my personal best photoshop manipulation of all time. Oh and by the way, I love the Venom movie design, Sam Raimi is about to pass George Lucas status in my book.
Comments welcomed, please enjoy. |

I still need help with my edges!!!
I've been using 'Quick Mask' combined with the 'Pen Tool' and then I try using the 'Blur Tool' and/or a small feather radius on my selection edges. As you can see the result is fair, but far from realistic or life-like. Any tips or suggested tutorials? |

This was an attempt to reproduce the original comic cover as close as possible using photomanipulations... Looking at it now I think I'll soften the hard edges with the blur tool and re-post. I welcome any suggestions to improve the over-all image.Thank you in advance for your constructive comments.   |

| Challenge: Absorbing Man vs Thor
effektdmentality 2007/1/7 11:53

This was for dperceful's first challenge in the Challenge of the Artists tournament, Absorbing Man vs the mighty Thor. Here's the rather long-winded notes:
For my first foray into the Challenge, I wanted to have a battle scene of Absorbing Man and Thor, where thor was ambushed, with maybe the other Avengers coming to help.. For quite a few days, I was torn between whther I should manip it or draw it by hand, but ultimately I chose manipping. I used Photoshop CS primarily, and close to 120 or so layers in total. First, I drew out a thumbnail of the battle, which I then threw into PS. Keeping it as a guide, I started searching for base pics, and I happened across a bodybuilding site with a ton of poses by just googling "bodybuilder poses"
I found a back pose that was perfect for Absorbing Man, so I took it, repositioned the arms a little, and erased the legs. The pants are from a medical scrubs online catalog with a sand texture added on top, and the boots are Lugz from an urban footwear website. I made the ball and chain from scratch, using liquefy to warp the chain. Next, I found brick and metal diamond plate images on the web, and overlayed them onto the arms and ball. I used liquefy to warp the guy's face as well, and the clone tool to strech and shape his head into Absorbing Man's egg-shaped dome. Some dodging/burning to fix shadows/highlights was added as a finishing touch.
Next came Thor. From the same site, I found two separate poses, one for the upper body and one for the legs. With a little franking I was able to shape the pose into the one shown. I copied the body layer and desaturated it for the costume, erasing parts I didn't need, like the arms. I separated the costume layer into the pants and top, using hue/saturation and color balancing to color them. The helmet, belt, and boots were created from scratch. A Dolph Lundgren screencap from the "He-Man" movie provided the head, and a redhead from a hair styling website provided the hair. The helmet wings and hammer are from the Thor hammer prop set. I made the shoulder parts of the cape from scratch, and the cape itself was from a medieval costume site, recolored from green to red. I also copied a portion of the cape to make it look like Thor was holding it in his left hand. Again, used D/B to fix and enhance the contrast. Some lightning from a weather photography site, with a little blue outer glow, finished off Thor.
Lastly, the brick wall and background. I started off with the NYC background. I took a picture of Times Square from the net. Next, I used dperceful's destruction tutorial link in the Artist Help thread of C2F's DCG forums to take some chunks out of some buildings, though it's been mostly covered by the brick wall and characters. I added tiny pictures of other Avengers on the roof of a building on the left, Captain America, Hawkeye, Iron man, Wasp, and Vision. Threw all that onto a Filter-render-clouds background.
The brick wall and flying debris was last. I found a brick wall desktop background on the web, and skewed/perspective'd it to look like it's going away from the viewer. I then cut out a random hole in the wall. I recopied the layer and moved it underneath and to the right, to give the brick wall some thickness, using the clone tool and D/B to rework the wall. Filled the hole's empty space with black, and rendered some brown/white clouds to create dust. Next, I modeled some crude bricks in Blender, some 3d modelling freeware I found out about in high school. I took a picture of maybe 5-6 all flying at the camera, then moved the pic into PS and duplicated it a bunch. Lastly, added some motion blur to make it look like the bricks were flying. Added my signature as some graffiti and that finished off the background. 12ish hours and 120+ layers. |

I thought I'd start posting here for a bit as well as C2F, as the turnaround is faster here and the filesize limit is bigger.
Did this a while ago, back when the first shot of Topher-Venom surfaced. I took the publicity shot and isolated the head. Next, I built the torso from scratch, and franked the arms and legs from yet more bodybuilder pictures, making them considerable smaller and leaner than the original base photos of the bodybuilders. I thendesaturated the entire body minus the head and recolored it to a tealish black. I next made a small hexagonal pattern , shrunk it down, and replicated over the entire body, limb by limb to get the suit's texture. I next took a picture of Spidey's symbol, franked in the extra leg segments pointing inward, inversed the black symbol to make it white, and added it to the chest. The tendrils are all actually just one tendril that I made, replicated, and transformed/liquefied to change their shapes. The pool of symbiote is also just a blob of black and white that I transformed/liquefied. I then found some pictures of an irregular brick pattern, and used that to make the floor, wall, and window, adding some home decoration columns as well. The bells were made from a picture of an old church bell that I recolored and replicated, and the lightning was a pic I got from a weather photography site. All in all, a good 10 hours or so.
Kinda wish it was bigger. Oh well. |

| Christina Aguilera is ... Spiral!

Edited: Added a background more suited to the character.
Spiral is one of my all-time favorite characters.
Before joining Heromorph, I never considered things like "casting" & "frankensteining" when doing photomanips. Silly I guess, since the great part of this medium is that there are no rules. So when it came to doing Spiral, it occured to me Christina Aguilera would be perfect, even if I could not find a picture of her in the perfect pose. |
