Quote:The changes came slowly, most didn't realize, or didn't care, and accepted them. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn't. And those who didn't conform, were pushed to the side, criminalized. They became our clients. We call ourselves Runners, we exist between the gloss and the reality. the Mirror's Edge.
Whoa, it's been a while since I did one of these.
I watched Tron - Legacy a few nights ago, and noticed how much Olivia Wilde looked like Faith from the game Mirror's Edge. So I took an image of her character Quorra, used the liquify tool to make her face look more Asian, then had to paint the clothes and skin over the Tron costume. Yes, in what could be a first for this site, I took a chick that was already wearing a skin tight spandex bodysuit, and put baggy clothes on her 
Anyway, knocked this one out in about 24 hours. Not my best work, but it feels good to have finished a picture.
Hope everyone is having a good holiday!  |

| After the Captain America and Thor concept art recently leaked, I did a quick cut & paste of all the 'official' Avengers we've seen thus far. I just wanted to see them all in one picture. |

There's been a lot of talk about Angelina playing Maleficent in the live-action remake of Sleeping Beauty, so I threw this together. It was originally meant to be a quickie for a friend on another site who's a Disney freak, but once I got into it, well...I got into it. I think it's quite a bit easier to paint tight clothing on someone than loose clothing
As always, critiques are welcome |

| Antagone(pronounced like ant-agony) from the show Frisky Dingo. There's a lot more I could have done with this picture, but I really needed to call it finished so I can move on to other things. Maybe I'll go back and polish it up someday. Model is Bianca Beauchamp. |

This is actually the picture I had set out to do back when I did my first Emma Frost cover, but at the time, I couldn't find a girl in the right pose. Body is Brea Bennet, Face is Jana Cova, lettering lifted from the original comic cover, background pieced together from various google pics.

I thought a few of you might get a kick out of this Master Shake I made out of a 32 oz Coke cup
Obviously, Frylock is more than a little skeptical about Shake escaping into the third dimension.
Also, if anyone's interested, I can provide the psd of Shake's 'skin', which I believe should be easy to apply as a 3D texture. |

This pic was loads of fun for me to do! I had never really tried metal, rain, or lightning effects, so I got to try out a bunch of new tricks. Pretty happy with the way it came out, other than the fact that it's ultimate Thor holding 616 Thor's hammer, but I just couldn't find a good picture of that huge thing he carries in 'Ultimates'. Anyway, hope you like it, Raddar!

| I got to thinking about this pic tonight, and how it's probably one of my favorites, and just now realized that I never posted it here. This is a manip I did a while ago of Webgeek's original character Spyder. She is a spy-for-hire with lots of nifty super-spy gadgets built into her costume, as well as a staff weapon that doubles as a hacking tool. That's about all I remember |

Well, as you can see, poor old Frylock didn't quite make it through the Gorilla attack unscathed. In fact, here we see him suffering a compound fracture to one of his fry bones at the hands of the Bat-shit crazy Azbat, using a mind-control device on one of the rampaging primates. "But Dar, who ever heard of fries with bones in them?"...well, as everybody knows, Frylock is not actually made of french fries, as shown here:

| Okay, I basically just re-colored a picture of Hong Kong Phooey to turn him into Iron Fist. I didn't have time to do the glowing fist effects....just use your inagination . I also accidentally made the picture reeeeeaaaaly small, which is why this is all jaggy and pixelated. |

| Just a little something I scribbled down while taking a break from my tournament pic. Deep in the jungle, King Louie encounters a witch doctor who can grant him control over fire, but the ceremony requires a human sacrifice. Louie delivers the man-cub, Mowgli, and finally has the power of man's red flower. Yes, that's supposed to be fire in his hand. |

When I first started thinking about what to use as a base for Man Thing, I thought about using a picture of the Hulk. I couldn't find one I liked, though. For a month, I had no other ideas about how to approach a Man Thing pic. Then, in the wee hours of this morning, I had the rather silly idea of showing him on the toilet. "Probably too late to do anything with it now...", I thought. Then, this afternoon, in a final, desperate google, I came accross a picture of the Hulk on the toilet. I love it when a plan comes together . I slapped a Bowen Designs bust over the Hulk, and added a little bit of color and shadows. Not my proudest moment, but hopefully it will make up in laughs what it lacks in artistic ability. Now to email Billy and tell him about the "deadline extention"
...MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!  |

| Okay so for a while, I've been wanting to do a close-as-possible reproduction of an actual comic cover. After finally deciding on a specific cover, and finding a model(Jana Cova, BB) that was as close to perfect as I could probably hope for, I was in business. I quick masked and painted on the costume(my first time trying seams and zippers-Jr, I hate you ), franked in the bench and rose, and got the wall, arch, grass, and walkway from a couple of paintings, then finally I found a tiny strand of ivy that I duplicated 37(!) times to cover the wall. I had to give Greg Horn credit on the cover, cause it is his concept, after all. Maybe now I can get some sleep, at least until I start on my tournament pic. Post away peoples, but rememeber, any emoticons and I'll be forced to.....uh.....drink this beer!(crap, this is empty. Better go get another hostage...) |

To fully appreciate this picture, you should also see this one:
http://heromorph.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=700
Waaaayyyy back in the day, I posted my very first "for real" photomanip, a picture of Harry Connick, Jr. as Gambit. At the time, I said I would have liked to put him in a movie style costume with a 'gator skin coat, but I didn't have the skills. Today, my friends and admirers, I give you this. Not the pinnacle of photomanipulation by any means, but still much better than the first one. I decided to go with the "official" movie wallpaper look this time around, but I may still finish the full color, full body version. I have a pretty good idea of where it could be better, but I'm not really sure how to do it. Any tips? |
