Description
I decided to take on the legendary Miss Adventure here. I haven't seen photo manipulations of her around so I thought I'd give it a shot.Many of the body proportions were greatly exaggerated in order to duplicate the original drawings measurements.
The magazine layout is in keeping with the one's Drew Gardner has done. Forgive me if mine isn't as funny.
Miss Adventure was invented by Drew Gardner.

I'm kind of torn, because a lot of it looks good, but the close up of the hand-on-the-butt cheek strikes me as somewhat crass. Nevertheless, the photo-manipulation aspects are excellent as always, and the headlines and stories listed are humorous.

Awesome picture. I like the article titles. You could almost believe that they are something you;d read in a magazine like this.

Again, excelent work on the texture and colours. Shading looks spot on and not plasticy like most manips. Great job matching the physique of the character (I've seen some of Drew's drawings of her).

That's the thing that impresses me most about your manips, -the texture..
I love the stitching along her sleeves and the stripes on her front, it's something I'd considered trying for that extra touch of detail, but never got around to trying.
You render your manips like nobody else that I've senn.. most Photo-Manipulations tend to have a smooth 'painted-on' look, as though they've just airbrushed the costume on, but I love the way the light reflects of her costume - especialy her hand and the stripes on her chest.
- Do you use filters to achieve that effect? It sort of reminds me of that 'plastic-wrap' filter..
Oh, and I almost forgot; NICE ASS!
--
The only thing that bugs me is her face, the star-shape is supposed to be a mask, rather than face-paint, - but it's a common misconception.. It's not that clear on a lot of my pics..
Who's the model that you used?
Anyway, Great work!

More then anyone else Iām glad you like it.
I probably pay more attention to lighting them a lot of guys that's why my stuff looks a little different. I did this image over two days.
There is a process I go through to make the costumes look that way. I mess with the setting a bit each time to get different effects. I really enjoy the process of turn drawn costumes into real looking/functioning objects (ie. seams buttons, zippers, stitching, etc.). Also by modifying the shoulder pads to look more like real equipment helps sell it a bit more.
I apologize about the mask, I wasn't sure if it was paint or not. From a practicality perspective I went with the makeup, plus I thought it wouldn't make the face a little less busy looking. Iām going to post a version of this with out the magazine layout later so maybe I make some refinements when I do.
As for the model I did go for Vanessa Blue for the body, you right she's a perfect fit. Although I went with another model for the face, Ester Baxter. I really stretched out the proportions on the body to mimic the ones you use in your drawings. In the face I even make the eyes and lips much bigger.
If you know anyone else who likes Miss Adventure images pass it on.
