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).

| Shadowcat vs. Pyro by Jover

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.

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.  |

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.

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? |

I was working on Jono as part of my ongoing Generation X photomanip (it's coming, slowly but surely), when I realised that this pic of Jono kinda worked by itself as a standalone image. So like the other manip I did of Monet, I stripped this out and set it up as its own image. Pretty pleased with the end result. His bio-nuclear psionic biokinetic field was almost as much of a bitch to manip as it is to spell.
I used James Marsters as a Jono's 'actor'. |

| Okay, so I've been working on this for a couple of days, and i don't feel like working on it anymore. Thanks to Matrixblur for giving me the link to his metal textures, unfortunately, i got the message right after completing the manip. For the metal I actually frankensteined a bunch of pics of armor i found on the web, and used the plastic wrap and chrome filters with adjustments to the brightness/contrast. I'm proud of this one, even though it needs work. Especially the boots, but hey, it's my first try at boots. Let me know what you think. |

After Marvel Girl and the 60's, here comes Phenix of the 70's. Remenber the concept? 1) use a model of the year the comic's was drawn 2) try to make the costum look the way of the period 3) make her sexier over the years...
The model is Claudia Jennings, playmate of november 69 (what a year!). |

Hi, remember me?
My first post here in about 9 months or so... This is Dazzler in her New Excalibur costume. I wanted to do something involving power effects, and she seemed a good candidate. Body from Daz 3D, face collaged together from a variety of photos, costume and power effects from scratch.
The lighting on the face is wrong. I know this. I don't care enough to fix it. Thank you. |

This one I'm a wee bit iffy about, namely with the lighting, but I like how it turned out. And I tried to make it bigger than the BC/Spidey one.
I started out with an image of the lovely Ms. Avril Lavigne holding microphone and wearing a tiara. After editing them out, I stuck a piece of crystal that I found on a Google search into her hand and changed it purple. I also incorporated some Blink costume elements into the pic, such as the skirt thing and the collar to give it a "real world" feel.
Then I found the pic of the alley on google and stuck her on there, did the power effects with some brush work and some dodging and burning and...viola...Blink, AKA Clarice Ferguson. |

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. |
