3 Ravens and a Viking(ish) girl


This composition combines 5 different photos of the model into a unique pose not captured during the photo shoot.  Shot originally in 2009, model nude, against dark backdrop.  All elements; clothing, jewelry, tattoos, spear, and location/atmosphere were added post production.

According to an article on Slashdot, you can get 15 years in prison for criticizing the King of Thailand.

Gynoid 1.02

This work and many others can be purchased in several sizes at http://ix09.imagekind.com/

The following is another revision I've been working on with some false positive finishes.
I think I may be finished now.

Changes to hair, makeup and background are major points among several others.

Mermaid Revision + Before and After


This composition was 'complete' several months ago, but, the original arm reaching from the left to right, towards the jelly, always bothered me.  It looked too short due to perspective from the forearm being bent toward the camera.

I've fixed that by replacing the arm with the same arm, but, from a different frame out of the same photo shoot.

Further, I've put together a before-and-after for comparison with the original shot.

Light Brite Jelly (revised)


Original Raw -> Light Bright Jelly (before and after)

Pink and Green II; a variation

This is a variation on something I've done before, with the same tattoo on the same model from the same shoot.
There's a slightly different pose, however, thus, variation.

Spider Woman


A mysterious alluring woman that clings to walls?  Spider Woman seems the right name for this one.


Baby got back


Strangely well defined back muscles in a mere waif of a girl weighing all of 90lbs at 5'0" was an interesting surprise.

Jinn, Djinn, Genie, Jinni or a Harem girl?


This work and many others can be purchased in a selection of sizes, on paper, or canvas at: http://ix09.imagekind.com/

Djinn, Genie; a capricious spirit known for granting wishes, but, in reality, causing more mischief and ruin than anything benevolent. Wish at your own peril.

I Dream of Genie:

I'm rather happy with the idea to use chameleon lizards on the shoulder straps.  :)

... and here's another with a different model:

Geisha - Turning Japanese ... I really think so

Geisha; because everything Japanese is so much more awesome.  I got fascinated with Kimonos, and Geisha recently, and before long, I had to grab some shots from a past shoot and turn one of the models into a Geisha.

Geisha:

Running Red

You can purchase this work and others by visiting http://ix09.imagekind.com/

The following piece is the first piece in an experiment.


Running Red (v1.2):

Fuzzy white ball of light to left of frame in initial version, I thought was too distracting.  Some other changes, additions, subtractions, and improvements to details have been applied.




Running Red (v1.0): 



I was originally planning on doing another Gynoid, this one pulling and breaking away from cables and cords, but, the work progressed to this.  I may do another variation on this as described with another Gynoid  I'm not sure yet.

My Niece the action hero

One of my nieces, 12 years old, but 16 to look at the girl, really really likes the movie Sucker Punch.
She asked me if I could do a composite shot of her to put her in place of one or some of the characters.

Using the bodies of a couple characters, with creative liberties taken on background and a few other things, the following resulted.  Please note, these are all face-paste, head in hole type composites, unlike my original work with models.  






Macbook Apple Variations, Skins


I've noticed a trend with some who own Macbooks.  People are skinning their laptops with art, typically integrating the glowing Apple logo into the personalizations.

The following are a some ideas I tossed together in Photoshop.  Feel free to find the source art online, to print your own sticker for use.  I'm too poor to have my own Macbook, iPad, or even a laptop to do this to (Hint - buy some of my art at: http://ix09.imagekind.com/   Please?), thus, these are just Photoshop ideas.
