if your looking for more let me know. i found thinking of what i wanted him to change to or from made it easier to search. for example, if it was a bird...well cross country skiing pics don't work well. you get the idea.

While still new here I am looking for a large Body shot of James Marsters ( Spike from Buffy and Angel Series) going to use him in an upcoming project and just need a large full body shot full frontal perfered or with his arms around a woman from behind or off to the side...

tough guy to find pics on. you could substitute a younger billy idol for this guy. i didn't come up with much...but this was a quick look thru the net....i don't think anything that will work, but i'll look some more later.

Remember wanderer here we're all about photo manipulation. All you really need is a headshot of Marsters. Look for other actors with a similair build and in the right pose and then just throw his head on top. We'll show you how.

Hey, isn't there a sticky thread for tutorial help and stuff? :?

i'm not sure what you mean when you say light come from the top of bottom.

for metal, there is that one tutorial i have in the art school...which if you apply curves to you get a more realistic look (it's what i used on my ratchet and clank piece).

Optical Intuder from heromorph also has a great way of doing metal (listed under tutorials):

Anyone got a good background for a Batman picture. The picture I'm doing is only from the chest up. So, if you have like a good cityscape or whatever, could you point me towards it? Thanks!
