After The Civil War, His apparent Death & Resurrection. Steve Roger`s aka Captain America takes off to get some perspective on everything.

Just a MU Cap A, slightly dropped in height to fit his actual scaled height. I think the Resolute Duke head works for Steve, so that`s my version of Steve unmasked.
Also the backdrop & lighting.

That looks great. I thought it was a painting at first.

That would be a hell of a good idea: Thomas Kincaide, painter of light...and iconic superheroes.

This does look cool btw.

I love this sort of stuff. Nicely done.

I'm certainly no PS expert, but I would probably suggest running it through perhaps one more filter for better blending-- or you know you can fiddle around with the blend modes from the layers window, too.

I really dig the lighting flare. I love that feature. ;-)

Now that you mention it it does look like a painting. Don't think too much about doing custom of Suoers w/o thier mask, but after seeing this work of art I just might start thinking about it.

HAHAHA!!! I use that Duke head as mask off Cap also!

Great, great photo work! Keep it up!

Thank`s guys.

Headandhand, I didn`t use ANY PS on this. I took the photo from a google search, printed it out, positioned my lamp near the sunrise in the photo at an angle and tried to emulate the rays of light and took the photo.

Very well-composed shot.

The head you use for Steve gives me an Ultimate Cap vibe.

Thanks Spin & your totally right on the Ultimate Cap vibe. As my next custom will show.

Oh, that actually makes it cooler then.

Yeah, I thought that this was a PS rendering, but you achieved a similar effect with real photography methods, and that's impressive. I admire the approach-- that's really the kind of creative thinking that made pre-CGI special FX awesome back in the day, you know?

Again, (and even more so), very nicely done.
