Fantastic Four and Amanda Waller

 

This is an example of where I had an image to use, but the printing quality on it was low. In those cases, I have to "recolor" through use of the clone stamp tool.  It can be time consuming, but it is a necessary step for a cohesive cover.  Wouldn't you know it, for this particular splash page, I did find a nice crisp clear image of it just a couple of days after I had completed the cover!  I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had found that sooner!  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Well, the figure to the far right is obviously Dr. Doom. So, I'm guessing the trio are "Bull" Brogin (super-strengthened muscleman for hire); "Handsome" Harry (a con man with super-heightened charisma); and Yogi Dakor (an Eastern mystic with super-enhanced psionic powers).

Seriously, though; two consecutive days where you grace us with an exhibition of the laborious editing process you put yourself through on our behalf? I, for one, am humbly grateful, sir.

I'll echo Cary's comments. The hard work paid off again. Thanks.

If anyone is high the list of "never give the ultimate nullifier to", Amanda would qualify. Lucky they gave it back to Uatu...at least in regular continuity. Not sure about SFT continuity.

Joining the sentiments that the hard work paid off.

would it possibly help having a data base to show the images and where they are located? You having to do everything by yourself is not the best of situations. And this was a fantastic idea. Would the dampner work on Phoenix??

Cool peek behind the scenes, thanks!

I don't know about the Phoenix. But, the Wasp might be hiding out in Sue's beehive hair-do.

;-D

@Anon428: you did NOT just say that. :-(

Unfortunately for Waller, she didn't account for Dr. Doom saving the Fantastic Four, for only DOOM is allowed to defeat them! And if she decides to send the Suicide Squad to Latveria, Doom would personally kill Waller for such a grievous crime!

When you're right, you're right.
