Knightmage as Mr. Sinister
(Click the banner above to see more of Knightmage's awesome work on his Facebook Page!)
When Knightmage and I were planning on shooting at Cincinnati Comic Expo and he asked what I'd like him to bring, almost before the question was out of his mouth I said "SINISTERRRRRRRRR!" lol. Ever since I saw his preview pics I knew I wanted to shoot this. My lighting style and his airbrushing style have always made a terrific one two punch, but THIS. This was different. I have loved reading the Xmen as long as I can remember and was really freaked out by the Mr. Sinister character. it seems for years he is always pulling the strings in the background on so many of the milestones in the Xmen. On top of that one of my favorite podcasts (Jay and Miles Xplain the X-men: http://www.xplainthexmen.com/tag/mister-sinister/) have more than a passing interest in the character of Sinister and mention him on a fairly regular basis. We set it up, got a quick five minutes (if that) and these were the results. Enjoy! (Video to come with the originals, editing process and light set up to get some of these effects so keep an eye on my blog for part 2 coming soon!)
