Sometimes everyday people can be heroes.

1Shot is right. As was suggested before, Heroes or Villians do not necessarily mean fancy getups complete with tights. The only thing that is consistant is that it has to be original.

I personally have a Superhero who has been shunned from his work and is disguised as a bum so that he can continue fighting evil without anybody bothering him. He no longer wears a fancy get up. But that is part of who he is, which in turn makes for a really interesting character.

So if you're going with the classic bum look, I have a great technique for facial hair/stubbles. Create a new raster layer over your face, airbrush your hair color(set it up to be like the spray can in paint) and when you're done, apply a gaussian blur set to the magnitude of 1. Works for me anyway.

I worked off the tip for facial hair that you gave me some time ago and combined it with the process of making a saber blade in pictures.

Im finally learning to use Corel Paint Shop Pro X. Best investment in a computer program I've ever made.

Well. After about 2 hours I have a general idea for what Im going to do.




I know his eyes need to be darkened and his shinguard things are too bright as well. I have a couple of ideas for him but I'll get to that tomorrow. Also, if anyone knows a good way to completely redo a face, please let me know. I have the day off tomorrow so I might just read some tutorials and completely resart.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The screenshots dont do the beard justice. It doesnt look nearly that bad in-game.

It's cheech isn't it!? I knew it. it's cheech! Where's chong? Maybe I should make chong! You can't have cheech without chong! (If anyone misses this reference, I'm far too old)

Also: That picture I posted earlier will most likely NOT be my contest entry anymore, I had a great idea over night.

I was thinking it looks more like Triple H. Yes, I was a wrestling fan, back before it became a soap opera.

Anyway. Dynamic glow on the outside edges of the shoulder pads and the line on the pants turned out ugly, so Im out of ideas.

Random poll for people's ideas:

I'm going to give him a vest. Should it be a black pinstripe vest (with skull and crossbone buttons), or a plain black double breasted vest with a zipper?
