Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
@foamborn: I have only really seen one fan design I really liked and now I can say that's been chalked up to two. Only nit pick I have is that it needs a belt.
Needs more colour contrast. A belt (or underwear) is pretty much mandatory, imho. Nevertheless, great job! Dumb question: why didn't you colour his face and hands?
I like the different blue colors, but it needs a belt to make it work.
Also love his physic, not too bulky, and not too slick, it looks just about right. Also his suit, is definitely better than both Jim Lee's ( too many lines & looks too much like military armor ) and JRJR. ( it's just...meh ) :3
@2cool4fun: @fuzzylittlerodent: @sog7dc: @z3ro180: Thank you all. Personally I don't think this look needs a belt, I didn't color his face because I just quickly slapped some color on and I suppose hes got a bit of a cheeky smile on his face. I swear he was nicer-looking before I inked it on photoshop.
@foamborn: hey, you're the artist, so obviously you know what's best. But imho, that big blue space is just begging for some contrast. Also, is it me or do you have a crush on Clark? :D
I think the blue is too dark, and needs a belt to break up all the blue. I also agree the cape should be longer and coming out of the shoulders, not the shield. But I still like it, great job :)

No if anything I have a bit of a crush on Henry Cavill whom I equate with Superman now. I will say though that drawing Superman's wee wee felt kind of intimate and perhaps that's the reason why a lot of artists don't do it.
You know I always saw WW as the dominant one in the relationship.
Btw, I forgot to ask. Did you draw this by hand, or on the computer?
She's the dominant one now but Soule portrayed Wonder Woman as a gormless bubblehead whose life revolved around him. She didn't seem dominant then. And in the end, it's not Wonder Woman upon whom the fate of humanity depends, whom kings and conquerors from faraway corners of the Universe see as an obstacle, in the grand scheme of things the most powerful woman in the dcu is a non-factor.
I drew this on paper first, then I took a photo and "inked" it on photoshop. I don't know if it's me or my hundred euro wacom tablet but unless I do quick strokes, my lines are all shaky.
Cape is too short. There's not enough yellow. And the belt is missing. These are the main issues.
Now, how to fix this (and be reminded this is just my opinion):
- The cape part and the space the red should take you can get a great example from Superman Godfall
- The belt simply can't be missing, so you also either take it from Godfall, or if you don't want a belt, you could at least add something more along the line of the suit seen in MoS
- And the yellow it's simply missing... A lot of it. You could have created a few lines of yellow on the wrists and along the arms, the side of the legs and of course along the waist.
