Description
A long abandoned artwork which i have finally managed to finish. I saw this particular screenshot from the Superman Returns blog #17. It showed Superman floating in the space, looking down at the earth. Basically the same idea like mine with different perspective.The costume has been updated to the recent Superman Returns version. I read somewhere on the internet that there is no "S" on the cape, so i didn't include it here.
Notice that the city background is similar to the one in "Soars" artwork, only this time i flipped it from left to right. It is also a 'reverse' version to the "Soars" artwork. Where as "Soars" depicts Chris Reeve's Superman "leaving the earth", this one is showing a new Superman descending from the sky. Kind of poetic huh?

And in the sence of perspective, I may be the only one but this also reminds me of one fo the posters for Spider-Man 2, where Peter is standing on top of a builiding whith his mask off: Diiferent poses, different characters, different subject matter (Marvel vs DC!

personally i'm still not sure about Routh either. Up until now the best Superman was and is still Chris Reeve to me
good observation, in fact this pose is basically 'mimicking' the one by Spider-Man 2, like you described.
thanks for dropping by!!

Looks gorgeous! Very effective angle. You capture his grace and strength, makes the viewer feel like they are up there with him.

excellent pianting dude, love how u did the bulidings below, but unfortunetly this image is missing one detail, Superman has another S on his cloak which is yellow, but it's a minor, still having that S wud majorly fill in his cape detail, not that the pic don't look ace already!
keep it uppy

the buildings below is a portrait, as well as the sky. The 'S' insignia is not included in the new version of the Superman movie currently in progress. Basically this Superman is based on the new movie

Oh, lol sorry about that mate, if that's the case then the pic stil gets 12/10, lol
well anyway i hope they put that S on the back of his cape otherwise i'm gona kill thoses movie makers myself!
keep up the work,

arent you missing the back insignia? otherwise its cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
uhm, no. this is based on the new Superman movie, ocming June 2006 and the cape has no back insignia. good observation though

Pure genius. I'm Envious of your talent---but equally enthralled that you used it to pay homage to one of the great comic icons of all time!

Lovely. The only thing I noticed is that the angle of his head suggests (to me anyway!) that he's still looking up at the sky - I was wondering if that was deliberate. It makes me wonder if he wants to come back...
