I'm pretty sure if there was ever any Starsearchers fan art done by Suncat, I'd lose my mind! (subtle hint?)

Sometimes, when I use something like Ink Stamp, which I seem to love recently, the process works quickly and doesn't need much else, sometimes it does.
For Starlette, I used the afore mentioned Ink Stamp, then, since the process changed her gloves from black to white, which was great, but I had to fill in finger line and finish areas were the lines didn't connect.
The harshness of the inking, meant I had to go into the face and neckline and get rid of some of the cheekbone lines, fill out the mouth while making it slightly smaller, working on her chin/neck and lightening her eyes and underbrows.
The background needed a slight amount of work on oneside and after putting her through the poster process, twice, I floffed her hair out of the originial photo borders.
And ta-da.

But, you're right on some of them, that's for sure.
Rain Forest required nothing but erasing some type in the photo and posterizing.
Catspaw got some pupil extensions and fangs but that's all.
Kestrel had writing and flames to fill.

It's amazing what's possible on tinypics and paint.

Mharva is pretty involved though.
I'm on my second try with her, extending her wings, removing the hands and closing her limbs.
Then, I'll do a little coloring, I think.

Anyway, I'm hoping for a scanner soon.

I wasn't denigrating the work you put in, truly. And appreciate your process notes. I was simply commenting on the ... oddity ... of some high fashion images.

Thanks!
Some images ARE incredibly odd.
The McQueen and Chinese shows are really amazing!

The Tom and Lorenzo Fashion site has dozens of shows from all over the world, and fashion shoots, too.
They're a huge source of incredible images, as is ANTM.

The internet is so fun!

Finished!
I hope ya'll like it.
I tried coloring and found it didn't really add to the image, so I took the drawing back to black and white.
(I'll post the original photo in the 'work in progress' slot above for reference if you care to compare. smile )

Edit: Last Wed. of June - I've updated the image, removing a few glitches that happened when I saved in paint and I tweeked the wings some, too.

Something else else I never ever thought I would see in a million years... my characters in custom-made action figure form!!

Based of course on the designs of the brilliant Dean Lee, these action figures were custom-made by Dean's son (and Starsearchers design consultant) Jake Lee!

Well, I hope to do two versions of this one since it's a combination of 2 favs of mine, Iritt and Alexander McQueen designs.
What a find the original photo was, so bug like!

I added the upper wing and worked on the lower one where it meets the front skirt in the photo.
Then, I played with the effect options on tinypics and most of what you see happened, something I can't figure out how to repeat, lol.

I worked on the face and coloring on the arms, back and legs.

I have to admit, that while she's not an exact copy of Sketch's work or MLLASH's concept, I love her.

Candle, I love the artwork featuring Mharva and Iritt! Sorry I'm so late in responding.

I'm glad people like the action figures my son customized. It was a thrilling surprise!

You guys are so sweet.
. . .
But you should have told me that Iritt's name was spelled wrong.

I corrected it and added antennea.

Didn't have to do a thing, except posterize this one.
The red really played up what I think of as his 'power'.
