Everything Else That Doesn't Fit

This is very cool looking. How did you make this? One complaint and only because I have a weird fascination with Malefic, its hard to see him in the left.
It's like Colorforms. You take a picture of a character, then erase or white out the background around the figure in MS Paint. From there, you can lay the figure every which way on top of a new background and/or other figures.
It takes a while to do that once, so you can imagine how time consuming it is to do it about thirty times. To cut corners on time and effort, I recycle from old projects as much as possible. That's the same Malefic from 2010's "New Years Evil" banner, because it was a cool handy shot that was close enough to being a full figure, like I thought I needed. I regret it now. You're right about him being too dark and hard to see. I tried playing with the contrast and even recoloring the shadows in flesh tone by hand, but that just made it worse. For now, Master Gardner's casting a big shadow over Malefic, but maybe down the line I'll go all George Lucas on it.
Yeah, this is effin' cool. Great goin' as always!
I have no problem with the Human Squirrel and Tor the Indestructible Robot being more visible than Malefic. Great job!
Looking at it, I can't replace Malefic's body without ripping out a whole hunk of the picture, but I don't think that's the problem. If I can just find and paste in a new head, I think that'll do it.
It also occurred to me that some artist information may be in order...

Where did you find Phil Hester's Mr. V?
No, Frank. Malefic is placed perfectly, being eclipsed by Prof. Hugo's head.
The Human Squirrel hanging off the banner is a stroke of genius.
This is absolutely wonderful.
Find? Try bought. ;)
Liss, Hugo's being a team player and obscuring Malefic's lack of legs from the calves down. Cay'an is the real cameo-blocker, and I think the guys are a bit embarrassed by her. Blanx tried to keep it kid friendly by covering her breasts (genocide yes, immodesty no,) and Hugo tried to censor her crotch slingshot. At least, I hope that's what Hugo was groping about for...
