ParticipantThat’s certainly a half-time show I’d want to see. 😀

GuestWow! Let me second that!
(great shadow work on this morph too!) Thanks, man!

ParticipantMy first question when I saw this was not "how did he do this collage?", but "How did SHE get into that stadium without crushing a few hundred spectators* under her heels?" …in other words, nice job!!
*oh no… no! must resist… urge… to make… stupid joke…
"Hey! What do you call a spud that wears glasses? A spectator!" 👿

ParticipantDCM, you sure are pun-ny. 😛

An understage elevator perhaps? 🙄

KeymasterAh guys (and for you lurking gals), she’s a Goddess – it’s all a matter of teleportation. 8)
Oh geeze – now that was a really bad pun with overtones of the double-entendre to it. 😳
Thanks for all of the praise people!
BTW – Just for the record, artificially matching the shadow coloration with all of its alternations in hue and tone in a pre-existing background can sometimes be one of the hardest parts of pulling off a plausible collage.

… the sports common tater.But the results were worth the trouble! I’ve seen too many collages and morphs where the perpetrator just stuck a model he’d cut away from its background and stuck it into a new picture without making any effort (or at least minimal effort) into making the kind of color adjustments, postulating shadows, even the effects of atmosphere on the picture. The effort you put into your pics is much appreciated!

KeymasterOh, and just to keep this thread on topic…

I know wherein you speak – verily I do. 😎 Few seem to take the time to master the techniques of photo manipulation – as say, for example Unzipped did with his She-Hulk photo manips, many of which are still proclaimed as amongst the best ever done. In my opinion doing a Gammazon montage is far more challenging since the goal is not to cut and paste then feather/blend a figure onto another background, but to seamlessly shift the complexion and character of the subject – many a time having to go pixel by pixel along the edges in order to pull it off. If it works, its fantastic, if not, it looks like crap – and you never know until you're well into working on the given photo whether or not its going to be one or the other.
Cussing time is reserved for the latter . . . 😉
When I first started in on Amazonian GTS collages I had assumed that Amazon Muscle was a natural extension of the Giantess genre, yet surprisingly it doesn't seem to be the case with the GTS community of regular collage makers. To be certain some, i.e. Cricket, will use fitness models such as Trish Stratus, but it's a real rarity to see women with a far more muscular physique being used in the role.
I might add, although it doesn't allow for it here, I've also used the concept in my approach to the SW genre, with my Minizons (Mini-Amazonian Faefolk) – of which, to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever used seriously muscular women (i.e. Joanna Thomas) as fantasy models for collages of empowered mini-heroines.
