The cosplayer in this shoot is Morgan, Starburst Cosplay, and this is our first shoot of what I hope are many together.

I included an original pic to show how much of the pic was added and how much was thanks to the efforts of Morgan. I started off combining elements from four different hair flips. The Phoenix in the background is illustrated in Photoshop using a tablet and a variety of fire brushes and effects.

We decided to do something a bit different and create a few images that we could connect into a page resembling a comic book. It represents a small part of a much larger story, but it was a lot of fun building this tiny piece.

Domino is an interesting character that I was admittedly unfamiliar with until we decided to do this shoot. She is a genetically engineered mutant mercenary with exceptional combat skills, both hand-to-hand and with weapons. She was born with the ability to affect luck around her to her favor. It requires her to take action, for example she could not just stand still while people take shots at her and miraculously avoid being shot, but if she makes an effort to avoid being hit luck will be in her favor and she will survive. We wanted to show this side of her in the pics, first displaying her skills as a sniper and then just narrowly avoiding the return fire as she makes her escape.

If you click on the thumbnail it will open a much larger version.
