Fantastic design. Practical, evokes a certain 1930s-40s sensibility, and with a clean crisp style. Certainly the Man of Steel.

Thank you very much! Such a nice compliment, those qualities are exactly what I was hoping to communicate with this piece.

Thanks! If I didn't have such a short attention span, I'd love to do more pieces like this.

Very cool! If they wanted to reboot DC and Superman they should have gone this route instead of "no speedos."

Fantastic! I love the colour scheme. the pewtery s and belt are so different but work beautifully with the muted blue. also the "S" colour is classier cooling thanthe garish yellow in the standard costume. just fantastic.

I really appreciate the compliment Matthew. It especially means a lot that you specifically called out elements that I feel very strongly about. Thanks for the kind words!

very nice. did you try a cape at all, or just try it without it?

Thank you very much. I actually did try the cape at someone's request. I liked it for a more traditional look. The thought of an optional cape works for me depending on the situation. Here's the link. [link]

This looks like what Superman should be wearing on New Krypton.

Nice design. Combines the minimalistic Golden Age costume with what's likely worn on Krypton. Well done.

Thank you very much. I was hoping to achieve some of that Golden Age sentiment.

great Superman. It may be the hardest character to redesign, but yours is perfect (except for the cape, I can't imagine Superman without cape)

dlack In reply to SebasP [2009-02-07 03:04:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I agree about the cape. I originally intended to draw a back view showing a detachable cape. Since it was for P:R though, I had to submit it without a back view to meet the deadline. Ultimately, I opted to go without the cape to make it as different from the original design as possible.
