Description Continuing with the me as superheroes theme, here's me as Superman!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited to include variants, basically a timeline of me as a Kryptonian.

1-4) Original outfit, practical and not thinking about public image. Something similar to how I'd have designed myself about a year or two ago (thus the old haircuts). Here I'd be known as Superhuman instead of Superboy or Superman, due to the others existing...
5-6) Me as Superman for the first time....maybe how I'd gone a few months back. Storywise this could be where Superman dies, disappears or whatever and I come in...
7-8) A slight variant of my original design, mostly as I thought the cape on the shoulders is a bit more me. Here this is where Superman/human realises that the Superman persona is too light for him and Superman comes back, but he doesn't want to completely abandon the new identity.
9-10) My original design. lets just say in character the cape on the shoulders got impractical or something...
11-12) Superman some years into the future, having returned to the 7-8 style suit with the cape over shoulders. In this time he has gained some weight, gotten out of shape and grown a beard (much like myself in real life). Over the years his outlook has become more jaded.
13-14) New costume more in the vein of a traditional Superman look, made with a larger chest icon to distract from his less in-shape physique to remain intimidating but chose lighter colours to try and appear friendlier to the general public, especially given his methods became more brutish. 
15-16) A little later on, having slightly given up trying to look lighter once again and decided it went against his character, he dulled down the gold accents in his costume. 
17-18) Here he's essentially given up trying to look friendly, isolation from his friends in the Justice League etc. have gotten to him, he's continued to become more fragile and rough around the edges. Here he has emphasised trying to look intimidating as well as his darker nature. Not sure whether to have him outright be possessed by Parallax in this or not, but this is essentially his Parallax phase where he's become more of an anti-hero, bordering villain.

perfect lineup also no offense since you actually mentioned it from before but are you still not doing anymore superhero theme characters still?

Thanks, glad you're liking it!

I've gone back against that I guess, initially I was just going to focus on Doctor Who micros as my interest in superheroes waned but now it's gone back in the opposite direction. I'm not sure whether I'll fully complete it but at the moment I'm beginning on a concept for Robert Pattinson's Batman.

Loving this set so far. I enjoyed reading the thought process behind the evolution of the design here. Can't wait for you as Wonder Woman.

Thanks, thought I'd add more background into this one, makes things more interesting plus it's an excuse to play (virtual) dress-up

Yeah, that's next on the to do list.

No need for excuses. Quite a lot of my work is me playing virtual dress-up.

Same :/ It's almost a tad like some of the 90s movie concept art.

The logo and the colors do give that vibe.

It's a look I've always liked. Soon I might be adding some variants
