# Turn Yourself Into a Comic Book Superhero

Every kid imagines themselves as a superhero. Now you can actually see it.

The Art of Comic Book Portraits

Comic book art has evolved over 80+ years, from the simple four-color printing of Golden Age comics to the hyper-detailed work of modern artists. But certain elements remain constant:

Bold outlines — That thick black ink that defines every character

Dynamic shading — High contrast, dramatic shadows, heroic lighting

Vibrant colors — Comics were made to pop off the page

Stylized anatomy — Slightly idealized proportions that read as "heroic"

Two Styles, One Universe

We offer two comic book styles:

Comic Superhero — The classic illustrated look. Think Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, or Jack Kirby. Bold lines, stylized features, undeniably "comic book."

Photorealistic Superhero — The Alex Ross style. Painted, realistic, but still heroic. Like a Renaissance master painted The Avengers.

Getting the Best Results

Strike a pose — Even a subtle heroic stance makes a difference. Shoulders back, confident expression.

Think about lighting — Comics use dramatic lighting. If your photo has interesting shadows, they'll translate well.

Solid backgrounds work best — Busy backgrounds can be distracting in comic style.
