Well, here it is, my first post in the artwork forum section! Now I have little artistic talent, so I am limited to alterations in Adobe Photoshop (which I have legally because I use it for school, so if you were thinking that...HAH). Now my bud is a huge fan of Smoke, and he couldn't find any sweet pics of Human Smoke. I decided to do him a favor and took a picture of Scorpion by MK Kool seen here:
Now I looked at that and said, hell with a little work I could make that a good Human Smoke pic. Now I was wrong on one count, it was a SHITLOAD more than a little work. Many of the hours I put into this were based on removing the MK Kool logo from the lower right-hand edge. Here is my final (possibly) product:
Now as you can see I altered and added quite a few things. First of all I made him GREY as he is Smoke. I also made smokey text (yes MADE) and added a smokey haze around his body using the same technique. Lastly I added grey eyes and pupils (kinda bug-eyed but that adds to the creepiness). And let's not forget the hours of work into removing the logo. Enjoy! Positive comments and helpful hints welcome.
----EDIT----
As of now I have altered his mask to be a little less skull-like, as that is only befitting of Scorpion. I also adjusted the eyes slightly so they look a bit less buggy and more directed at you. A minor detail, but it greatly improves the overall view of the picture.
====EDIT====
And now for update number two! I was wrong again, I have more editions coming. At this point I've completely redone the eyes (using a hi-res picture of an actual eye compliments of Google). I greyed them up a bit and popped 'em in the sockets. See what you think:
And for those of you out there that like to compare, and don't have a photographic memory, here is a little pic to suit your needs:
And as usual, any helpful comments welcome.
