Description

Commission by Douglas McCollough for his City of Heroes characters Gertrude & Gordon Goodheart. The original is 300DPI at about 4 Meg. This one is 72 DPI and about 200K. Watermarked. I felt I could post this image now that the picture has arrived at its destination. This was a challenge because I had to figure out some background image that would set the couple off. The idea came to me based on a memory of the Green Lantern. The Goodhearts get their power from the red power gems in their belts, so I used that idea for the background. The Goodhearts are you basic Golden Age comic book heroes. Douglas asked for two specific things in the image. 1. The pose to be very much like Batman and Catwoman from a movie shot. I did the pose but altered Gertrude's head so it wasn't buried in Gordon's chest. 2. The overall style of the image was to be a soft painted look of Alex Ross if I could manage it. I hope everyone likes this one. I sure did. Happy Superheroes - - -
