Here is the original entry for Nova to the "Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe".

And here is my entry for Nova to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Redux.

For those bored enough, here is the step-by-step for Nova... :-)

* * *

STEP ONE:  I created a New Document 1,000 x 1,500 pixels in PhotoShop, doing some really quick digital pencils/scribbles for the pose.

* * *

STEP TWO:  Over top of that, I did some quick shading and set up the lighting/shadows, as well as some really quick color.

* * *

STEP THREE:  Then, over top of that, I put in some of the breakdowns of where I wanted the fire effects to go.

* * *

STEP FOUR:  I finished up the highlights and fire, then added a starfield for the background.

Created digitally in Photoshop.
