So the sun peeked in on this one, does anybody believe there is a hole in the subway ceiling? I think it works if you believe it.
Because I haven't been in the mood to take pics lately, here's one I used in a panel from my previous comic strip. Just edited a bit to be all fancy.

Now that's cool GB. Really makes the shot look scale. Sometimes it's tough to get those birds to look right but that angle does it justice.
Am I the only one who thinks it looks like an A-10 being taxied into the surf?
If you have a full version of Photoshop, you'll have to use the bezier tool.
Thing that produces lines like this:

There's really not a "easy cheat" method for clipping things out. You simply need to trace it out with smooth curves, and maybe even offset (well, in-set) the path to make sure you don't have any stuff you don't want in your clipped object. You can also duplicate the layer and use a small eraser tool to erase out the part you don't need, but that's more work and more tedious. I guess you could try the "magic lasso" tool, but that always provides crap results too, unless it's shot on a solid background like white, or a green screen.
I work in Photoshop daily, and I really, really wish there was an easier way. But if you use any other method, you'll wind up with bad, square pixel artifacts around the edges. I think eventually they'll get a better method, but for now, that seems to work the best for me.
Thanks for the guidance! I need to get myself some more lights and start taking some pics.
Some great work on here. Snake, I didn't realize you were actually printing the backdrops out! I thought they were chopped in. Not that they looked that way.
Very cool. Great angle. Did you post the female custom yet?
No not yet, she is a simple civilian i just finished this morn. just ROC covergirl body with ROC Baroness legs, generic figure feet, and a SDS head.
The fact that she's a civilian is what intrigued me.
Some paratroopers catching a ride on a Sherman.
