Phantom
I really don't like Hyperphoto. Apparently the gallery pages are "dynamic", which means I can't link them directly to this forum as pictures, bah. The above link should show a decent-sized image of Phantom, though.
Phantom is a phaser, sort of like Shadowcat. She can't keep herself ghosted as long as 'Cat though (this is a limitation of the FF engine, but I'm lucky in that it dovetails with the character concept).
Some notes about the image:
1) Her final skin tone will be just a tad lighter, since I haven't masked out some of the greyscale layer I used to show her figure through the bodysuit.
2) Her hair needs some work. The highlights need to be darker, at the least. I'm pretty sure I can do that by fiddling with the hue, but getting them selected as a new layer/mask will be a pain.
3) The bodysuit needs to be anti-aliased (note the little jaggies? They're pronounced because the base skin was only 256x256 pixels). I can't seem to figure out GIMP's Burn or Dodge tools, so I'll probably be creating a channel mask of the 'suit and blending the edges from there. A channel mask here would also make it easy to fix the greyscale layer (since I only need the greyscale for the bodysuit anyway).
4) The facial features I may or may not work on. They're adequate as-is, but if they're not too much of a pain to mess with, I'll probably try changing them.
5) I'm still not sure what I'm going to do to finish the bodysuit. Ideally I'd want a faint pattern of grey covering most of it (looking something like a light fog), but I don't think my skillz are up to that yet. But plain white is just bland, and putting on solid patches of grey would look just ugly, I think.
Eh. Well, it's pretty much decent and playable as-is; I just need to finish the details. This stuff isn't all that hard after all. :ph34r:

EDIT: Wha? Dang Preview option killed my title. Post title should be "Work in Progress." :angry:
