Artist's Comments

Long story short, I really enjoyed the new Superman movie, Superman Returns. I went in to it with some worries but came out all smiles. I thought Brandon Routh made a great Superman. And obviously, when I like something I tend to make fanart of it. Plus, I'm a sucker for a good profile.

Anyhow, this was drawn on watercolor paper with brown colored pencil and then painted over with a series of black ink washes to establish a base for me to work from when coloring. All color was then added in Photoshop using my tablet. It was finished in July of 2006. Obviously, the character Superman is owned by DC. Full view is recommended!

Wallpaper sized versions:
- 1024x768 (can be sized down for 800x600)
- 1280x1024

You can see another illustration I did of Brandon Routh as Clark Kent right here in my gallery.

That is very awesome! i enjoyed the movie as well. I wasn't really looking forward to seeing it, but after It ended, I was like, 'OMGOSH!!!! *spaz* YAY SUPERMAN!" So yea. My parents loved it. They kept telling me that Brandon Routh looked almost exactly like Christopher Reeves. He did, in a way. Well, I'm glad I saw it. This picture is wonderful! I love the highlights and everything. Awesome job! :heart:

Certain facial expressions and what not did remind me of Christopher Reeves. He didn't look exactly like him, but perhaps more like a relative of some sort. The resemblance was cool, though. I've seen the original first and second Superman movies tons of times growing up, so it was also fun to see little things in this movie that were nods to the originals. I loved the movie, and I'm just trying to convince various people around here to go see it because I want to see it again.

Thanks for the compliments on the picture!
