Princess Leia: Rebel Spy REMASTERED

Image
  Two years ago, I made the Princess Leia: Rebel Spy series of images, and they ended up becoming my first really popular pieces. Unfortunately, I look back on them now and feel like I should delete them out of embarrassment at just how low-quality they are to my recent stuff (but hey, I was still relatively new at the photo-editing game at the time). Instead of just deleting them, I'm going to release new "remastered" versions of select images every now and then, beginning with Rebel Spy . This version is inspired by the covers of the 90s-era Star Wars Dark Horse comics (for no other reason other than that I like that aesthetic).     Princess Leia: Rebel Spy REMASTERED on DeviantArt

Ginnifer Goodwin as Venom (Earth X)

Image
  In a dystopian future of the Marvel Universe, the daughter of Peter Parker finds herself the subject of an attack from the Venom symbiote. Instead of losing herself to the creature's aggressive nature as her father almost did years ago, May Parker's powers managed to eradicate the alien's hostile nature and brought it fully under her control. Now, May embraces the symbiote as an extension of herself, swinging across the dreary New York skyline as the new Venom... A few months prior to making this image, I did one of my "fancasting" pictures turning Ginnifer Goodwin into the Laurel Kent version of Superwoman, and shortly after that I began to wonder what Marvel Comics character Goodwin could possibly play. While I had put that concept on the back-burner, it wasn't until a recent rereading of the Earth X series that I found the potential role to put her in.

Princess Leia in Marvel's Star Wars #106

Image
  On a mission to the planet Zeltros to seek military aid from the planet's leaders, a party held in honor of the arrival of the Rebel Alliance leaders is interrupted by the Nagai and the Tofs. Separated from Luke, Han, Lando, and Chewie, Leia is captured as the Nagai take the palace and it's party-goers hostage. Eventually managing to escape, Leia picks up a blaster and kicks off her one remaining high-heel (having lost the other during her capture), sneaking through the palace armed and barefoot in her reflective golden dress.  In the mid-1980s, Marvel Comics had done some "photograph covers" on a few of their books . Inspired by these low-budget (but charming) images, I gave Carrie Fisher the blaster and golden dress which Leia wore in Star Wars #106 (1986) and put her in a background inspired by the actual cover of said issue .
