UIR 12/05/03

[dperceful]

just starting it up...be back in a little bit for the full thing.

[Miss Jellybrain]

Happy independece day everyone. What independence day?? Well FINLAND's independence day of course. Geez. And because of your ignorance I am going to write the entire UIR in Finnish! Ok maybe not. I'll just whistle the national anthem as I go.

Scarecrow by siddhartha
One of your better ones. Hey, anything with misty graveyards and you've got my vote. I don't think the hat is that bad either. Got to wonder your logic though, everybody's using the same scarecrow mask so use it too?

wonder gilmore by glrayner
Not that impressive, but it gets the idea through. She does look for the part. I don't know what's going on with her shoulder but if you were trying to remove her shirt you get points for trying. Welcome to the DCG.

Superman Teaser by joker21
Nice job getting the skintones to match, Not a fan of the casting though.

Angelea Jolie by bhandwerk
Not bad, but I'm just not seeing Angelina in it.

Codename: BABETOOL by localhero
Never heard of the character, but this looks pretty darn cool. I honestly couldn't tell what you've added. You photorealistic guys always confuse me. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif I think this is your best in a while.

Outsiders by bearbot
Congrats for the front page, you deserve it. The costumes look perfect, and where DO you guys get those cool rooftop pics? Great job.

Ami Mizuno & Sailor Mercury by daekazu
i'm not the biggest Sailor Moon fan ever, but this rocks. I love your style and the coloring is just beautiful.

terminatorsean by uzazil
Cool. I don't really see anything to complain about, except that this could use a more imaginative background.

steamy supergirl by stillhbk
A-ha. Well, no complaints about the costume, but you know, when Supergirl sees this, she's gonna be pissed.

Frank Miller Tribute: Daredevil #174 by Junfan
Poser always creeps me out, but is great. Just go a bit easier with the lens flares.
Nice job.

Brook as Wonder Woman by guj19
Great first submission. The metal parts look very nice but the costume could use some wrinkles. Welcome to the DCG.

Batman Intimidation Game by Powermaster Jazz
Congrats for the front page. Great style. Welcome to the DCG. (Geez, that's the third time I've said that today!)

cloak and dagger remixed by khonshu
Looks nice, but I don't really see what's the point in "manipulating art and not claiming it as your own".

The Wasp by M
I think this is your best yet. I'm assuming you haven't got Phoshop but you're doing a nice job with the programme you have.

Wonder Man by bcat75
Not bad, but extra 40 minutes would have helped. Try adding some wrinkles and highlights and stuff.

Why thank you Miss for the comments. About the hat... well I'm a defeatist but thanks for the ego boost. But to clear up the logic issue. I'm gonna call it my inability to get the point across is the reason for the confusion. I wrote about the other masks in an attempt to show people I did NOT use the same one. If I had a choice I would have, having liked the other one better, but I choose this unused one instead. I guess I didn't get that point across. If you compare other pictures you'll notice differences, but I did use the eye patches from the other mask if that explains some things. But here I go talking everyone to sleep, soon you'll be reading this post if you need to fall asleep so hope that clears it up.

said i'd be back in a little bit...that translates to the next day.

uir

scarcrow: i agree with jellybrain, your best work yet. i don't think the hat is that bad...i like it. i'm not thrilled with the speckled edges, but it's good work. i have that reaper in my house....my cats love to smack it around.

wonder gilmore: has anyone seen her in bad santa....funny stuff. not bad....the left shoulder needs major work.

superman teaser: kinda looks like gary sinise and brendan fraser had a baby and this is the demon child. issues with the lighting and the head, the head is too bid and is coming at the viewer. lighting...well too dark. i wouldn't backlight red text with a red light, cancels the text.

angelina jolie: so is this lara croft or just angelina?

babetool: welcome back. nice metal background...is that a texture...if so great job of making it seamless. nice work.

outsiders: favorite pic of the day. Metamorpho is my favorite, looks very believable. nice collection of characters...you're one of the best at group pics.

Ami Mizuno & Sailor Mercury: great work, nice drawing. the skirts are done very well...i love the blues.

terminatorsean: you drew the terminator skull, hell i'd love to see the full drawing. maybe mask out the background and put a techy one in, or a pic from the termintor movies with the future earth.

steamy supergirl: okay you tie with bearbot for favorite pic. your stuff is always sext and this one really works. the yellow panties are a great touch. the way you ahndled the wrinkles is perfect, really gives the top a wet feel. great steam.

frank miller tribute: nice work. the poser skills will get there...i know the feeling, trying to get used to it myself. the post work in photoshop is well done. elektra does look a little stiff, maybe add some slight blurs to here and dd giving slight motion. nice work.

brook as ww: welcome to the dcg. great first manip, nice use of the stamp tool, i would have never thought of using an ornament.

Batman Intimidation Game: you know what, i don't see this as an movie poster...i see this as a video game cover. just my opinion...great work.

cloak and dagger: welcome to the dcg. nice compilation of images.

the wasp: try adding som rainbow gradients or something to the wings (lower the opscity of the color) to give the wings some cool looking wing effects. nice work, i think some highlights on the clothes would help a little.

wonderman: you really have to lose the bevel effects, they are killing your images. take a look at strangefish's tutorial in the art school for manipping. it is done it PSP but if you are a photoshop guy like me you can easily translate it. my manips improved so much after hitting that lesson.

terminatorsean by uzazil- Good job, you have the nice depth look to the skin making it look like the skin was ripped away to revial the skull. My only suggestion is to blur the edges of the skin. The edges are way to hard. What I find useful is to just match the blur of the source picture and it looks more real. Great job!
