OH MY ZOD!!!
OK, I love drawing Superman. I have ever since I could hold a pencil.I was inspired to do this piece after recently watching the Donner cut of Superman 2. Which I actually did think was stronger in a lot of ways than the original non-Donner version . Ok , except for the turning back time thing at the end damnit.The first two movies were so rad ,and Christopher Reeve is such an amazing Superman. I tottaly believed him as that character when I was a kid. I also like Alex Ross's Superman , where he looks like an older burly man. Whatever , Expect to see more Superman pieces on this blog in the near future. I'm a nerd.

"Why do you draw these things, when you know I will kill you for it?"
I was watching your blog for past few days, it is very inspiring,
great designs, ..
check out my blog too,.
thanks
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!
That's phantastic!
HAHA, that's the best artist rendering of Superman EVER! And it was nice meeting you at the nucleus show! Good luck with all your guys work!!
Holy crap this is great! I mean, really...Awesome.
That is as awesome as it is nerdy. I love it. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
hahaha,
sweetness.
yeah man, i have that cut also. hey, i like the turning back the clock. hahaha...
>oVi
Great job on this. Id love to see this animated. It's always nice to see Supes show some actual expression. Good work.
NIce work! I really like the colors you used too.
Amazing, man. I love your stuff so much. I added you to my blog link thingie...it was great to finally meetcha at the gallery! Thanks so much for coming and supporting, and stopping by the blog to say hello, too! See you soon somehow, I'm sure...
Holy crap...I just love it. love it!!
I think I want to dress up as Zod for halloween.
Wow dude, this is really cool! Can't wait for more superman goodies!!
Great post Shane! Sweet composition/poses. Diggin the colors too.
Wonderful illo style!!
Cool Superman. Nice composition.
Really, really really, cool!
Hey, thank you so much for the coments everyone. I'm glad there are allot of other nerds out there.
A couple of you comented on the color. Thanks alot. I was really trying to pull from the feel of the movies. The yellowish blue green feel of the skys and the blue green yellows of the suit. And I love the Orangish red feel of the cape , boots , pants and S"" in the movies . I just did my best to mix some colors that had that feel . Then I took some liberties within that pallette.
And as for the composition.... Thats tottaly why I wanted to do with this peice. Composing with that cape is so fun. Its limitless how many interesting ways you can use that cape to break up the picture plane. It can look dynamic or calm . In some cases it can be dynamic while Superman is calm. Whatever.... And then using the three Kryptonian fugitives in there black suits as a compositional accent against that sky was just a given.
Thank you so much everybody. I love nerding out with th blog comunity.
Nerd on. This is a lovely piece... with a certain delicacy to the character that you often don't see in Superman. And it's a rare treat to get your insight on it.
For a totally different story on flying: I'm currently reading Mr Vertigo by Paul Auster. You might enjoy it if you havn't read it already. ~Arna
what??? "orangish red feel of the cape"??? All i'm thinking about is...did Superman copy the Spartans or did the Spartans copy Superman with the red capes? i saw the movies- someone's a copycat. :)
Dude, incredible.
Beautiful proportions.
That is a kick ass Superman Shane. I love the three villians from Superman 2 in the background. Thanks for the comments on my blog.
Shane,
you're scarey talented, and I appreciate your kind words to me, and thought I'd reciprocate.
But I'm a Batman fan, myself.
best,
SDe
Superman Rules! Love your blog and your designs are so inspirational. I can't wait for more.
Shane, this kicks ass! I love how the villians are so tiny and far away but their shapes make it so clear as to who they are.
I got that new cut for christmas but I still haven't watched it yet. Gotta check it out!
Amazing!!
I'm sure I have your first Superman drawings from when you about 2.
I know you still think you are Superman, Right!
Finally some Superman love! This is Awesome Shane! AWESOME!
Lots of great inspiration here!
it's simply awesome shane...
roby
Coooooool ! Thank you for placating my hunger.
Lots of great stuff here on your blog. Love the superman piece.
Hey, thanks for coming by the studio the other day, everyone was quite impressed. You and Shannon are freakishly overtalented and I will need you to stop being so good so that the rest of us have a chance.
Great Ceasars Ghost, that's so good!!!
Very charming. You rock, Shane!
Nice piece, Shane. Weird, I don't know if I started something or if I just caught the wave.. probably the latter, but a few months ago I did a Superman design, then I start seeing Superman on everyones blog. I guess in the wake of the Donner cut and Superman Returns there's major Superman withdrawel on the rise haha. This is a really solid piece man. Great stuff.
I win...I always win. Is there no one on this planet to even challenge me?
Superb piccy man !!
Shane,
Your stuff is soo amazing. I look forward to the days that we could collaborate on projects together.
Your pals at Red Eye Animation.

This is Amazing, I loved the old superman movies. I liked the new one too. i think brian singer did a good job. Still think richard donners takes are the best though, way ahead of its time. cant wait till you do more of these.
Wes
Did you know bruce timm and co are doing the death of superman movie. Yippeee
Amazing drawing!
Fantastic drawing, nothing is better than a classic drawing of superman!
Personally I don't like Superman THAT much (did you ever see those old Superman covers on superdickery.com?) but maaaan I love this and it's making me want to think twice!
couldn't find any contact info, so i hope it's cool i'm posting this as a comment. i stumbled across your site and thought your work was awesome. would love to talk with you about collaborating on a project sometime, jobs@threeleggedlegs.com. keep up the awesomness!
Awesome works! Great designes. Wicked job on the Superman!
