My digtal artworks/manipulations....

[sueworld]

Thought I'd take the plunge and post up a we sample of some of my old Photoshop work. It's all Spike/Buffyverse related I'm afraid, so if you're turned off by that, well then this thread is not for you. :rolleyes:

My take on covers for the IDW comic Spike comics....

not a Buffy fan at all.
But I still love what youve done.

nice work!

[sueworld]

Aww, thanks love, I appreciate it.

[FrankenFan]

Lovely, luv!

I especially like "Spike Asylum" and, the composition of "Cool Britannia" is smashing!

[sueworld]

*g* Thanks. The Spike Asylum covers one of my favorites as well.

Here's another that I call 'Chalk'...

Great work Sue! Really love the layouts and shots you've chosen. Spike is by far my favorite character and all of your work captures the spirit of the character very well. Can't wait to see more...:duff

[sueworld]

Oh thanks love, you're far too kind!

Here's another that I call 'Lust for Life'...

[Stendec]

I cant stand Buffy at all but as a fellow photoshop user I must say your work is terrific, very nicely done.

[sueworld]

Oh thanks love. Thats so kind of you to say that.

I'm self taught and still have sooo much yet to know. I count myself as very much still being a Photoshop newbie. :o

[DarkArtist81]

Oh thanks love, you're far too kind!

Here's another that I call 'Lust for Life'...

Wow! This one is simply amazing, the red hues go well with the shot... channels the emotion well. :duff

[sueworld]

Thanks love. That was a screencap from Harsh light of Day, flipped upright. Gald you think it worked.

Here's one I call 'Vampire Circus'. Made for a challenge on Darker Spike on live journal.

[Stendec]

Love your work, beautiful. It would be cool to see some non-Buffy stuff too.

[sueworld]

Oh I don't know if the interest is there for anything else. Me obsessed? :lol

I seem to get my best ideas from the Buffyverse somehow. Here's my latest.

'The Hollow Man'...

Thought I'd have a crack at creating my own cover art for issue one of the Angel comic 'After the Fall'.

You should be doing covers for this series, Sue! As usual, beautifully composed and seamlessly composited! I'd love to be able to look over your shoulder while you work! And, where do you find all the great hi-res images of the cast members you use as base images?

Btw, each time I open this thread, I expect to see your take on your favorite gun-totin', effed-up ex-watcher! Soon, I hope!

[sueworld]

Thanks love. *g* I thought I'd posted this Wes one here, obviously not!
As to the hi-rs images. I forget half of where I got them from. But I did get them from a selection of Buffyverse fansites over the years. Some are still up (I think) whilst others have long since gone. Any particular characters you're after then love?


Here's 'my' Wesley.

Another of my series of alternative 'Angel After the Fall'. This time issue 2 which has Spike on the cover..

[sueworld]

These were all created yeeeeears ago. Infact they were the results of my very first ever attempts to use Photoshop.

Ironic that long after these were created and posted on various toy forums, some bright spark decided to use the same idea and create a Spike puppet plush from it. :lol

Another attempt of mine to do a photographic cover for ATF. This time featuring poor Wesley. I couldn't make my mind up which one I preferred, so I'm posting all of them. :lol:

My Spike and Angel handpuppets that I made a few years back. The Spike I designed in the style of the Angel version as seen in show. Cast in latex and two part foam, with bodies made of fake leather.

They are all excellent, but #2 is my favorite. Your compositing technique is flawless and I love your use of textures! I always look forward to seeing new images from you and wish I could look over your shoulder and watch you work!

Btw: Did you know that there is a new "Gallery" section on the Board, to showcase members' digital artwork, customs, etc? Check it out! (http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/gallery/index.php)

[sueworld]

Oh thanks for the kind words love, and thanks for the heads up about those personal gallery's. When were they first in use then?

[FrankenFan]

I'm not certain; maybe a week or so? I just found out about it this past Saturday. Hope to see your work there, soon!

BTW, nice new avatar and sig banner!

[sueworld]

Aww, thanks love. It's something I 'threw together' the other day. :lol
