Description I submitted a piece of Nova, a MARVEL character not too long back. That piece was fun to draw and all, but i think you guys deserve a little more out of me. So i spent a few days experimenting with Photoshop, which i don't know all that well, on how to get a nice chrome effect. Sure, its a easy as a filter, but that didn't help me much. After much fooling around, and most of my day, i have this to offer.

Nova is the last Herald of Galactus. Her job is to search for new worlds for him to consume from. This shot would be her in mid cautious thought, choosing what will be recycled for the greater good.

Comment welcome!

Masterful profile. I really admire the gloss. Did you say you chromed it by hand, or with a filter?

I did all the sections with a custom chrome filter, then blended all the different pieces together to look seemless. But before i did all that i laid base shades and values down so the chrome would have something to build with. Then alot of going back in and adding accents to match whats in her enviroment, fire hair and ect... basically a ton of layer work..
