The Official Superman Fan Art & Manips Thread - Part 2

[TheIncredibleSk]

The Avengers will be a nice little team up but wont be JLA. Because JLA has the top guns. The Superstars. The Avengers cant do that.

Added Hal

Excellent - I like the attention to detail, like the green glowing light on the backs of Bats & Supes.

I wonder if WB would ever have Marvel Studios' courage to make JLA film, complete with cameos, references, Easter eggs or have they just 'done all that' on the smaller scale with Smallville...

 

[dark_knight08]

fanboiii, This manipulation you made is incredible because Batman, Green Lantern, and Superman are my top three DC Heroes.

 

[Mad Love]

thanks again. i can't leave it as a boy's club. wonder women is next! but, she's going to take some time while i fiddle with her design.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Three suggestions.

Give Batman back his eyes. The sonar mode looks silly.

Fix Hal's head with a better headshot of GL. Plenty to choose from now.

Leave WW out of this, or at least don't use the Adrienne Palicki version, she sucks.

Will do. That isn't the original Hal head. Maybe I'll change it back. I don't know why I messed with it. Maybe I switched it by habit :P

I'll be making my own Wonder Woman.

In my opinion, the sonar eyes look good when Batman is standing with such fantastical characters like those two. But I dislike the Superman costume there.

 

[Crimson King]

If only there was a Justice League movie,that would be epic and make the Avengers a complete joke

Truth.

The Avengers will be a nice little team up but wont be JLA. Because JLA has the top guns. The Superstars. The Avengers cant do that.

Wow, fanboys unite! I'll never understand the DC vs. Marvel war, as carried out by people on these boards. A JLA movie (done right) would be incredible. So will the Avengers movie (same caveat). Why do you have to demean one to like the other?

I disagree. Quite frankly, I don't understand your reasoning. Out of the three, he is the only one whose eyes we cannot see. Also, the lenses being on at all times makes Batman look blind.

But I dislike the Superman costume there.

Agree.

Agree.

Well, to me Batman looks more "otherworldly" with white eyes, and thus fits with the other two. He does look a bit blind though, but it fits his character. He's blind as bat and that's why he has sonar. Or something. Lol.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Awesome.

 

[MOS]

That's nice ^

Thanks. I was going to add Faora but I couldn't find a good base picture.

If you're using Jamie Alexander that will be perfect.

Even if you think he looks blind, his sonar vision actually improves his sight. It works in the pic for me, so I'm not in a rush to change it. I think it makes the picture look more candid as if something is actually taking place.

If you're using Jamie Alexander that will be perfect.

that's the plan

 

[Slugster]

I like the trunks and no laces with more muscle

 

[Mad Love]

okay, but there are a million designs like that. i don't know why you needed to use my manip w/o permission as a base.

 

[DorkyFresh]

if you post any of your artwork up, it's pretty much up for grabs. you can always ask that people respect your work and not alter what you've done, but that doesn't mean they HAVE to.

on top of that, it's not like we ask the original photographer or Cavill's permission to use their photos in our manips. so getting on anyone for altering a manip is kind of hypocritical.

 

[Slugster]

is this better? Im sorry if it bothered you I thought it was different enough.

Of course, they don't have to. People don't have to do anything. But, it's unethical to believe all images you post online are up for grabs.

First of all, the original photographer already sold the rights to their work to a distributor or have not set any rights for the source images I use. Secondly, I do my best to credit and I do my best to get permission, which I list on my deviant page where I originally post my images. I believe in giving credit where it's due and respecting people's work. You're free the believe/act however what you want, but that doesn't set how other people should be and it doesn't make me the hypocrite. Also, my images are directly based on the source and are dramatically different, unlike derivations that only change little details.

it's unethical to take people's stuff and alter it without their permission but it's not unethical to believe that whatever you post on here is up for grabs. that's not just an opinion, it's a fact. even copy written material is always being taken and altered. that's just the way these boards work.

First of all, the original photographer already sold the rights to their work to a distributor or have not set any rights for the source images I use.

regardless, i'd venture to guess that you didn't get their permission to use those pictures. if what you're saying is true, they were just as up for grabs as anything posted on these boards.

Secondly, I do my best to credit and I do my best to get permission, which I list on my deviant page where I originally post my images.

that's Devianart...this is SHH. there is a lot more respect amongst artists on a website made for artists. it's common courtesy amongst artists not to rip off from another artist. however, this is a forum made for nerds from all walks of life and common courtesy is few and far in between. you can't expect everyone on these boards to be as respectable to artwork as people from deviantart.

I believe in giving credit where it's due and respecting people's work. You're free the believe/act however what you want, but that doesn't set how other people should be and it doesn't make me the hypocrite.

i also believe giving credit where it's due and respecting other people's work, but it doesn't always happen. that is what is always ideal, but that's not always what's real. i'm just letting you know what's REAL....and that is, whatever you post on these boards is up for grabs and subject to alteration. there are no set rules for manips. you can request that people don't alter you work, and most of the time people will oblige...but that doesn't mean everyone will, all the time.

as for being a hypocrite...believe whatever you want to believe, but i just find it ironic when someone gets on someone else for taking something and altering it without permission when they pretty much did the same thing. it's different if the piece of art was made from scratch (illustrations, 3D models, etc) but if you're taking images from other sources (especially without first directly asking them if it's okay) then you are ALSO altering someone else's work without their permission..........which happens ALL the time on these boards, even with illustrations and drawings that were made from scratch.

Also, my images are directly based on the source and are dramatically different, unlike derivations that only change little details.

i guess you're saying that you put more effort into taking other people's work and altering it without their direct permission? i don't feel anyone has a right to tell or ask anyone not to alter their manips. to me that's like stealing something and telling others that they don't have a right to steal it.



on a side note, the way you confronted Slugster was just snotty and arrogant. yes, there are a million designs like the one that Slugster posted but to be perfectly blunt and honest...the design in your manip is not much different or better. if it really bothers you that someone took your manip and altered it, make sure that you request it. if someone doesn't respect your request THEN you'll have (somewhat) of a legit reason to confront them in an arrogant manner.

edit: when all is said and done, please don't let this dissuade you from practicing providing your sources. it's a rare and admirable practice on these boards and i commend you for that.....just not the high-and-mighty attitude you had when confronting Slugster.

 

[jthom19802]

Not going to dive into a big debate here; just wanted to add that anyone who used a picture of Cavill that they didn't take, didn't hand draw, or wasn't given to them by the actual photographer of said pic is pretty much wasting breath if they're complaining about someone else using something of theirs after the fact.

Also, agree with DF on the DeviantArt thing. Two entirely different sets of circumstances and/or forms of web media, imo, and I am an artist myself.

 

[KrypJonian]

Are we really doing this again?

Fanboii- Get the hell over it, you are not being design-jacked... Stop whining and let your design stand out on it's own...

 

[KrypJonian]

is this better? Im sorry if it bothered you I thought it was different enough.

Oh no... That's still WAY TOO CLOSE to Fanboii's pic...

Again, the only similarity is the pose that you are using (which is an already existing piece) from the Reeve statuette... if someone else takes that pose, puts a different head on it, and does something RADICALLY different from your costume, you have absolutely no right to b**ch at all...

You just don't like anyone treading in your realm, which we've seen in the past months...
