What I do ain't creative, really. I spend a fair bit of time working on pictures, but this is just amateur work to make them look better to illustrate an article about a character on www.writeups.org . Usually it's just detouring with minor art reconstruction and very basic treatments such as re-levelling and maybe an unsharp mask or some slight blurring.
It gets vaguely more creative when I use software and video games to create visuals for characters, but that's just using stuff other people made.
Still, from time to time there's a picture that looks pretty neat if you like the character in question. It ain't artwork and of course I don't
