Description
Those few years back, after reading 'Infinite City' I knew that If I were ever going to pitch a story to DC, It was going to be about Infinite City.the Warden VS Nuclear Man.
yes, Nuclear Man.
also This goes out to Carlos Meglia, thank you for illustrating that Superman Oneshot that continues to influence and Inspire me till this day.

This is the somewhat sepia-like version for the more classic/vintage look I was after, but you can peep the regular version on my Blog.

wow this piece is great! I wonder if you chose Nuclear man because both characters are blond clones of Supes? I'm such a geek

well there's that, but I just figured Two characters (Hero and Foe)that aren't really ever part of the main Superman Continuity could duke it out in a cool story.

cheers.
Usually with random pieces like this, I would grab bits and pieces of other backgrounds I'd already made, alter em loads to get the look I'm after and work with that.

I'd prolly plot the story if anything, in collaboration with a mate of mine.
All hypothetical.

i like cheesy characters, and i think if represented properly could be quite the villain.

I'm sorry to say I never heard of Carlos Meglia, but I love your tribute. You're starting to make Nuclear Man look like a freakin' amazing character. After all, he didn't suck...the way he was presented sucked. Your art is making me see that.

theCHAMBA In reply to Dualmask [2008-08-17 18:00:54 +0000 UTC]
exactly.
he was handled in a way in which sucked.
Just like any character, its all how they're presented.

Can I third that, even if it is months later. I always liked the character of Nuclear Man and agree he was handled poorly in the movie. And it goes without saying this piece gets a fav pretty much for his inclusion
