Does anyone else have any links to share?

That's a nice bunch of sites. Thanx!
Found some new base-pics to manip.

F'N GREAT IDEA MAN!

BRAVO!
BRAVO!

Since the base model section is currentlly in danger of going the way of the dodo, i thought i would start a thread for all of us to share links to where we find base picture and other things that we use to make our manips. Please add to this list with your own links of sites that you find what you use. please note most links contain nudity do not go there if you are underage.

i'm really excited about this month's challenge. i'm going through all my old characters from Champions RPG's i played as a youth to pick a character to manip. soooo hard to choose. maybe i'll just do an original TEAM manip... hmmmmmm.....

Just a reminder. the due dates is the end of the month. so if anyone else wants to try, there is still lots of time.

how about a 'marvel universe' or dc 'who's who' format?
I've a few I could do that were inspired by those books.

What ever you got to tell yourself to make it thru the night, furiousmax.

You changed the subject line...cause it was wrong!

Which now makes my message wrong...but it's your fault!

I didn't think there were any original characters left ...(what?)

My character is dadadummmmmmm...
*Base Pic Girl*

Whenever you see a nude or bikini model and think 'wow, she could be...' - you're right! That's her!
I'd like to thank everyone who helped by posting pics of MY character.

Right, I'm moving onto the April challenge... 'cause it's April.

Since last month was a gender change manip.
And alot of us did some bad casting manips anyway.
I think, we should all do a Original Character Manip for this month. Design a character yourself and do a manip of them. make sure in the picture description you talk about your characters powers and origin.
Due date end of the month or when ever you are finished.
Any takers or are all you guys chicken???
Bwahahahaha cluck cluck "ahem" Bwahahaha

This is the basic way i make chain mail. I have also used this method for other textures.

Step 1: enter quick mask mode and mask out what you want to be chain mail and create a new layer call it layer 1.
Step 2: Lock transparences on layer 1
Step 3: Use the blur tool to make it nice and smooth but still retain the lights and shadows.
Step 4: Duplicate layer 1 and call it layer 2 and lock transparences
Step 5: Find a large and detailed picture of chain mail and open it.
Step 6: Use the clone tool and completely fill layer 2 with the chain mail from the chain mail picture.
Step 7: Desaturate layer 1 and layer 2
Step 8: Set the layer properties of layer 2 to Multiply
Step 9: Color layer 1 & 2 using the B.A. Method of coloring (see B.A. Start to Finish tutorial)
Step 10: touch up-use dodge, burn etc to get some additional highlight and shadows on layer 1

I have used this method for alot of different textures. This is how i made the chain mail in both my Captian America & Magnus Pictures As well as the Scales on the purple half of my Metamorpho. Experiment with it. See what you can do. I have also used it for leather texture on a picture i never finished.

Just an idea... could you put up a poll with the challenge choices listed?

I'd like to give this challenge a go and the sooner I know which particular subject to work on the better. I work... umm... slow. Besides, it takes forever to find a model I like.

Q

i like the thought of doing a second generation character after reading Kingdom Come for the hundredth time and i would also like to do an original character manip.

Bad casting has my vote. :)

I would be partial to one or two on the list, currently l'm on board with bad casting, since it would be diffferent from the standard fare.. but after reading the "Does anyone read anything non DC or Marvel?" thread I think some of the books mentioned there should be added to the list.

Maybe next to next time?

my vote is for the Original Character category

Quote:

Not much in the way of rules.
All you need to do is take a superhero. Find a famous Actor or Celeb That has no business doing the part at all and make a manip.

Due date: around the End of the month or so.

Bad casting sounds like fun. What would the rules be, if any?

Bad casting gets my vote as well.

Celebrities with no business in a superhero suit = very funny manips.
