The Man of Steel








Another attempt at Superman.
EDIT: Beginning to flesh it out into a painting. Maybe this post will become a stepbystep or something.
EDIT2: Expanded and tweaked the composition, Also, Jen said he looked constipated. I argued people lifting heavy things look stupid, but, soon after I saw the light. I like the new version better now. :)

I think the expression is fine, because although it's a heavy object, let's face it, it's bloody Superman. So I don't think he'd have to strain that much.

And in that particular pose it looks like he's already gone through the heavy lift and is at the apex of it.

Good job man, it's coming along nicely. Needs a beard.

Sweetness! I agree with the face, at first I protested but then again.... it's superman, carrying that thing is a breeze! You definitely improved the flow of the pose from the original too- FINISH!

ill piece so far man...just one little suggestion....some eye contact with the object would be a nice detail and give some focus, and concentration to his face without having to draw it all up again....
his facial expression seems fine compared to what hes got in his superhands....

its not a jumbo jet or city or anything....this is supes afterall. he spins trucks on his pinky.
keep up the sweet shtuff
