Description
I drew this as an entry for a Movember contest that asked for a portrait of a man who represents positive values. I chose Superman not for his physical strength, but for his spirit. A scene in Grant Morrison's "All-Star Superman" was my inspiration:A trembling young woman sobs on a ledge with hundreds of windows beneath her feet, the sidewalk just a thin strip below. Hands clasped together, shegathers herself for the final leap. As she closes her eyes, an unmistakable red and yellow "S" appears behind her. A burly hand grasps her shoulder with gentle firmness. She whips her head around to see Superman holding her back from tumbling over the edge. He only says, "You're much stronger than you think you are. Trust me."
This is piece was featured in the November 2014 challenge of the month by youtube artist "Draw With Jazza." It's a fun contest and I recommend it to anyone who might be interested.

Thanks! I've got a Supergirl print I'm working on that you might like too. I'll post it in a few days

This is a beautiful piece and I'm so glad to know that you appreciate Superman in the same way I do.
Bonus points for appreciating the fantastic All-Star Superman as well. It had me in tears by the end. I always tell people who aren't into him to read that piece or at least watch the equally excellent, if short, animated adaptation.

Thank you! I dig the animated film just as much, but they left out the scene from the book that I pulled the title from for this piece. "Superman vs. the Elite" embodies the character well too, and is equally touching in some moments.

Oh I know, it's a shame that the animation was truncated. I really need to get back into reading DC stuff again, I read All-Star Superman back around 2009/2010 or so and then stopped to focus on other things.
Again, great work with this!
