Oooh, great manip! Ollie's beard looks fantastic and is totally made of win, and I'm LOLing at the Supernatural guy (I can't keep them straight, sorry) being Roy. Good work! XD
YAY! The detailing on that goatee was a soft, 1-pixel cloning brush followed by careful application of dodge & burn. Urgh. Then I realised aged Dinah and Ollie too much and had to re-clone the younger skin texture. Now that I'm looking at it, Roy's redhead is too obviously from the bottle. I'm going to go back and make it more strawberry than punk rock.
My second thought whenever you comment on a manip is "I wonder if someone's too yellow." *L* The first thought, however, is "YAY!"
I did paste on a blond goatee then added a layer mask so I could jaggy the edges. Then on another later on top of that one, I used the clone brush. Then I flattered both goatee layers for the dodge-&-burning. I discovered through the Sunshine manips that being able to clone hair is one of the best ways to make manips more realistic and now I love doing it. *L*
I think my older monitor was too dark and leaned towards cyan so the images could very well have been too yellow when I tried to adjust them to the "right" colour.
Sam Winchester is your Roy? *sporfle* Hmm...ruggedly handsome good looks, substance abuse issues, check but other than that, he's more like Dick. Or even Tim.
WHERE'S CONNOR? WHY HAVE YOU REPLACED HIM WITH CISSIE? Not that I don't love Cissie, but CONNOR?! Haha, Cissie and Mia don't like each other - I always though they wouldn't.
I HATE SV's Dinah. That is not the Black Canary I know and love! Pick up a BoP issue once in a while, writers! It broke my heart that she was so bitchy to Lois.
Y'know, I always thought that Lian would grow up to be one of those precocious, independent girls who likes mothering their hapless Dads, and Ollie would be an asshole one too many times (No, I have not forgiven him for saying that Roy wasn't really his child nor Lian his own grandchild because they weren't blood and didn't count. To Dinah!) and Lian would shuck it all and go to Tim!Batman to learn how to be a sneaky manipulative badass (partly to piss off Ollie and partly because sneaky manipulative comes diisturbingly natural to her) and

Jared Padalecki is Roy because of his younger years. He's EXACTLY how I imagined young Roy. IMHO, Padalecki's not achingly beautiful enough to be Dick (who has to be so beautiful men and women, regardless of sexual preference, stop to stare) and he's too tall and muscled to be Tim (who will always be 5'8" - 5'10" max in my fanon

Is Jensen Ackles going to make an appearance as one of your comic book characters? Because let's face it, he was going to be SUPERMAN on SMALLVILLE instead of Tom Welling, and was on Smalleville. Please?
I try not to cast people who are on movies/TV shows together because then it just becomes Smallville played by the cast of Supernatural! ;) And considering he WAS on SV as a semi-regular for a season, I think his resemblance to Jason Teague would be noted.
My heart is bursting with love. No, really really, it is. Lian is all kinds of adorable and I want to hug her so much. And I'm slightly in awe of your photomanip skills ('cause it's hard to do and they look great and yeah, look like Roy had some dye added to his shampoo bottle ^^)
The snippets about the characters makes me want to read it soooo bad. Clark and Lois kidnapping the Arrow kids for normalcy during the summer sounds fantastic :D
IMHO, manipping is all about lighting. When you have two images with the same or very similar lighting direction and depth, everything else can be adjusted. (Roy's hair still looks like a dye job? Aw, man! I guess you really can't go as ginger as the books. ;))
I was putting in the plaque when I looked at the picture again and went, "Sooooomething's missi--holyshit Lian! ACK!" So I had to do a hunt for a Lian. Then I couldn't figure out how to re-arrange everyone so Lian could sit on Roy's lap so finally, I sat her on Ollie's throne chair. It suits her. ;)
Sara and I actually had a fun chat about the Mia's first summer out in Smallville. Mia's suspicious of everyone, envious of Cissie's good life and uncertain of her position in the family. Cissie's formative years were very volatile so she's desperate for approval and will do whatever everyone wants as long as they LOVE HER. So, needless to say, the two girls don't get along but where Mia is verbally abusive, Cissie is passive-aggressive.
We also figured out that Mia develops a crush on Clark. The kind of crushes that usually happen when you're 12/13 which involves lack of eye contact and uncontrollable grinning. He's just so kind and gentle and loves his wife like men do in the movies. She senses that he has absolutely no other agenda with her other than being nice and she's never met anyone like that. Of course, she'd have a crush. And of course she'd hide it because a) Clark's devotedly married and b) if Cissie found out, she'd use it.

*snorfle* Do I say they're too yellow a lot? I always have the same thing with kalalanekent, except she always tells me people's heads are too big.
