| I basically have no time to manip anymore, but when I saw that Hurricane Season was back it reminded me that I had this 1/2 done and that Hurricane Season's Dawn pic was the very 1st manip I ever saw and made me search out more and eventually start doing them myself. |

| My first gender reversal. I wondered what the old 60's Gold Key "Doctor Solar - Man of the Atom" would look like as a female. Does anyone remember this character? |

Pulp-Retro-Comic Heroine Domino Lady back again. (NOTE: I hope this is ok for the public gallery: it is story oriented; it is a re-creation of publicly available 1940's comics and pulps).
Domino Lady first appeared in 1936 Saucy Romantic Adventures (pulp) from Fiction House (pulps & comics). She was California socialite/crimefightress (what else do debutants do?) after her DA father was murdered. Her weapons were a .45 and a knockout syringe (see props).
She was reissued by Eros Comics and more recently by Moonstone Comics and may still be available.
Background from Artiste 1955; Gun from cosplay pic; Head from cosplay superheroine; Legs from cosplay crime pic; Torso from cosplay lingerie pic; Dynamite from old Weatherman BG cosplay pic; detonator clock is 1961 "Doomsday Clock" from a Russian Bomber; Syringe from a medical site; made the chair. I'm exhausted.
Inspired by Mikeall and Artiste1955. |

Gender bender of what Dr. Manhattan might have looked like if he had been a woman instead. This would be during the "still wears a costume" period.
A Watchmen movie is due out about 1 year from today. Here's hoping they don't screw up one of the greatest comic novels of all time.
The model is Iga.

Had this one on the go for a few weeks. Adding a new character whenever I had a bit of time to kill.
Quality obviously not as good as if each was done on an individual pic, but like how it came out overall.
Created a before and after gif here:

F.A.K.K II is from the pages of Heavy Metal Illustrated. She was created by Simon Bisley for the second Heavy Metal movie. Originally Julie Strain was the model and actress for the character but I decided to use Amy (Lita) Dumas instead. Hope you like.  |

It took me a long time to decide to do this one for a couple of reasons:
1) I'm not that big a fan of Gen13 and never have been
2) It's very difficult to find toned, muscular natural redheads. Most redheaded models tend to be either fragile waifs or rather plump (in a good way).
But when I saw this picture, I figured it was probably time to do Fairchild. |

2. Commenting image: Many marks of bullets in a wall and an untouched Fairchild in front of it. In this angle, the face of Cory Everson is very similar to the Adam Hughe's drawings. Amazing.
3. Making of:
Step 01: Resizing the image. The original image was very small. I increased it and, from that, I had to clean it. It took time.
Step 02: Creating new left arm. The left hand was placed below the waist. In truth, I censured the position of this hand.
Step 03: Creating uniform. It also took a considerable time. The hexagonal standard was distorted to mold itself to the body of the heroine (Shear and Spherize).
Step 04: Creating background. It was made from the mixture of many textures. The bullet marks had been easily created and multiplied.

I will be honest, I've only read one Fathom comic book...and I really couldn't get into it. I do however like the artwork of Michael Turner. This image just lent itself to Fathom, hence the manip. I was really intrigued by the challenge of creating water as if it was part of the body. I think it turned out alright, I went for more of a power signature on it rather than just a lifeless water body. Done in photoshop, layers, layer modes, color balance, brightness/contrast were used to create the effects. i want to thank C2F artist Zac for the help, had some issues with what really could spruce this thing up and he gave me some ideas that i really hadn't thought of. oh yeah the background is done in bryce, i wish i could photoshop random water that good.

*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? |
