Sporky’s LPoH: Shattering the Darkly Mirror

Yeah, the Star Trek reference was a bit of a stretch, but it still seems fitting.

This being Cassie Cain Day (which always sneaks up on me...that’s Cassie for you), I figured now would be a good time to post something I made a while back. I actually considered posting it around last week, given the news about Detective Comics 980, but maybe it was better that I put it off and/or was distracted by other things. It actually went through several revisions.

I stumbled across an image of Cassie hitting Superboy (Kon-El), and cut out the third panel where he painfully wonders how she managed to get through his telekinetic field. With the above two, I removed Kon with the appropriate panels’ background color. Then I took an image of Orphan-Cass from Batman & Robin Eternal, tilted the head to match regular-/good-Cassie’s eye-line, duplicated it a couple times (leaving at least one left as back-up), and added a new layer with white polygons that I could select, then move onto the appropriate Orphan layer to move those portions of said layer. I added some outlining to the hair shards, since they’d otherwise just blend. And of course, I replaced Cassie’s dialogue.

But, it just didn’t seem right. Something seemed “off” about it. Clearly not “off” enough to prevent me from posting, but I felt like there was another option.

A shattering effect. Did another layer with white lines moving down like broken glass. The lines do seem a bit thick, but too thin and the selection wouldn’t have worked (maybe there’s an easier way to do this that I’m unaware of, seeing as I’m not formally trained in Photoshop). Thought about maybe combining the two elements, the shattering leading to pieces falling off, but maybe that’d be too “busy” or confusing. So I did this instead.

Where the poor reinvention is reduced to so much dust.

Different outcomes, same basic premise. Enjoy.

Right now I'm at the cottage with super slow internet and bunch of romantic books on a bookshelf, everyone is asleep, so no better time to keep getting into the habit of blogging One of the things I wanted to take with me was an analog diary. But the counterweight is the fact that I've no idea if I'll be using it or not. And knowing myself, chance are that it would be the latter (the number of half used notebooks I have is quite big, although I still write in them from time to time) So after looking at Hobinichi, Midori, etc. I figured I don't want to spend 40£ and got myself Molang for £4 from EBay. Well, I'm mixed. I really, really, truly love the layout. It's totally right for me, perfect. But the paper on this Chinese version of Korean diary is dreadful. Totally see-through. But I'm actually using it, it's nice, so so far it served it purpose :)
