Love the ZigorC costume!

Agreed dig that Supergirl: Woman of Steel S costume!

No supergirl on this one but I thought I could share the view of where I often go.

Another Supergirl

Just thought some of you might find it interesting that the guy who did this manip (and yes, it is one) seems to accept commissions at the moment.

Her name is Alexis Cozombolidis. The suit is based on the designs for upcoming Superman movie.

Well in fact the title for this second was something like "When Grow Up Wanna Be Power Girl" so that's why her hands are were they are

The joys of going to a comicon and getting a date with a lovely girl in a Supergirl costume. Which of course she wears to dinner because that's what cosplay is all about -- becoming someone exotic and amazing for a while. If you are really lucky, that amazement might last until dawn.

Wow! Thanks for sharing Shadar!

I've been working on this, on an off, for about a week, and I think I am finally happy enough with it to share...

Alison Brie (of Community and Mad Men) as a Kryptonian Supergirl.

The base image is here .

Let me know what you think...

I like the cape treatment... nice work. Although it looks like the gold clasp would ride upward to her neck. Great background... SG in space is always a hit with me. Don't care for the model. Hips and head a big large implying she's not very tall. I understand those are your model's natural shape. Also SG should be gloriously blonde.

Overall design of the costume is interesting, but her left arm looks way too long.

Thanks for working on this... there are never enough SG picts in the world.

Very nice base image, didn't know Alison Brie was that hot. I only know her from Community
I agree on the left arm, albeit I guess that is also influenced by a shadow that makes the other arm look shorter at the same time. The costume might be a bit not-so-glorious for a true supergirl, but since she's a brunette she doesn't have to be a true champion of earth for me
Also agree on the gold clasp, but maybe it is just extremely heavy. It doesn't hang on the cape, it's rather actually supported by her breasts
I like the green eyes very much, and the fabric of the costume seems to be more clearly defined and shining than the original picture. Did you do something with it other than color it blue? Also, nice work on making the leaflet on her right arm disappear. Wouldn't have noticed that you changed something there if I hadn't seen the original.

But I think the best job you did was the actual selection of the base image. I love the parted lips and the overall face expression.

As an artist who has played around with phot stuff i would make the comment that the mo you should work to bring up the grain on the costume. Real life of course, no to pixels are ever the same color, theres always dirt and imperfections.still its a pretty good base job. i recomend it:)

Looking on the original picture it shows that she got really long underarms. Which I think only got more pronounced when you added the gloves. It could have something to do with the hands being hard to distinguish.
I wouldn't have noticed the clasp if Shadar hadn't mentioned it, strangely my eyes got distracted around there, anyway a slight curvature on the cape could have given it a more authentic feel, the same for the S on her chest.

She had her moments there too

I put a fabric texture layer (started with a fabric from cgtextures.com and ran an emboss operation on it) above the colored layers. Set the layer mode to soft light and the opacity to 50%.

C'mon now... you don't think that Caitlin pulled off the ginger Supergirl look in the mini-series?

Maybe the brunette locks are the last things to change as she transforms into Supergirl?

Three tricks i sometimes use GeekSeven:

1. Make a new layer and hand draw in some shadows in black. these can do a lot to make an image look more real. i like to smeer them a bit afterwards. if it goes over the models real skin, thats not a bad thin. then lower the opacity-sometimes like 10 15 percent. i like to mess around with diffrent types of layer styles:screen works good for this. I sometimes do a couple of these. White also works for highlights.

you can work this to match the natural photo but you don't have to be super accurate about it.

2.You mentioned using textures. I like to use two or three. Then lowering the opoacity to agian like 10 11 , maybe smeering a little to take the edge of the fabric.

3. You talked about using the models skin as a layer. i like to do the same thing by putting it on top of the image. but very small. like 5 10 percent maybe as a screen or like a color or value layer. it adds a little pop to the image.

(i like screen layers)

However its a good picture.

I don't think theres a chance in hell they whould make a supergirl movie agian, but yes alison brie is easily the best choice for the part. I do someday she gets a chance to put on a silly costume. she whould do wonders with it.

I didn't much care for Caitlan's ginger looks, although she was an interesting faux Supergirl. Supes was such a gentleman, albeit condescending toward her. That could have been written a bit more dramatically.

But as far as the brunette hair being a part of Linda's disguise that she hasn't shed yet (wig or that charged particle comb thingy)... that works for me.

But my SG's have got to be gloriously blonde. The hair and the costume and those blue eyes are all part of the package.

This isn't my work (although I made some tweaks, including shortening the skirt), but at the moment this is my gold standard image for Supergirl. Laura is nearly perfect, if they'd only dressed her in the whole costume as shown here, she'd have been stunning.

Most will recognize this as a tweaked pict from the Smallville TV show.

I could not disagree with you more. Regular women come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and types: in my way of thinking, superwomen should as well.

Superwomen perhaps can come in any shape or color.

But not Supergirl, aka Kara Zor El. I can't think of a single DC Comics Supergirl comic book where Kara was depicted as anything but cute, blonde, slender and blue-eyed. Other than when in her Linda disguise, of course.
