Good gravy, Sinned. That is an awesome manip. I wouldn't have known it was a manip to be honest. Very nice blending with the background and its shadow. I like your colors of the man better than the original bright colors. The lighting, colors...everything, exceptionally well done. I really can't think of any c/c off the top of my head.
:thumbsup
Adaptation...
I posted this as a WIP over at SMMO, but I wanted to post it here as well. I've got what I think is the final done now, but I'm still open to CC about what could be improved. Please know though, I'm a Photoshop noob, so if you have a suggestion for certain effects, please name them if you can, so I know what you're talking about. :question
The concept is based off of a CHOW from ConceptArt.org, about old NES characters having to adapt (or not) to the real world. I was originally going to go for something modern, but the fort stock stood out to me, and I decided to use that. I wanted to make Samus fit in with her background, but I also wanted to age her armor, so that it looks like it was made of more standard metal, because the concept is that to adapt in about the 18th century or so, Samus has sold the designs of her suit to an army who in return has made her... um. Some high army rank. Thing. Right.

This is for a class assignment, by the way. I decided to go a bit above and beyond the standard assignment which had us taking a car and placing it onto a new background using a layer mask. I ran this by my instructor, and she approved it, so here's hoping it will do alright.

Woman! Samus Aran is female, much to the surprise of many Metroid players when she took her helmet off. :ham3
Thank you very much! I updated it a bit, a small fix up and more work on the cast shadow. I also went in and added some dents and scratches to her suit. This is the final, though I may revisit it once I finish my other assignments for the week, and do some paint-overs to see what I can achieve. :) Thank you so much for the fav!

I always knew she was a girl cos when you died it showed her as a female! I loved that game, even though I never beat it cos I didn't understand it so good at that age lol. *wants to find her SNES and play it again!*
Awesome manip btw, knew who it was right away!

Wow very nice manip. You fixed the only thing I would have suggested....the cast shadow. I think this looks great!

Thanks everyone! I fixed a few things in an updated version, mainly the fuzzy halo that my instructor pointed out. I haven't uploaded it to my webserver, but here's the link to the DA page. You may have to refresh if you've seen it before and you have a cache on.

I had a lot of fun with it, and learned a ton, too. Hopefully it will get a good grade. :P
