Superman Fleischers Revenge

Description

So if DC comics were to come to me and ask me to plan out a comic universe for Superman, and wanted to know what I would do. My answer would be the Max Fleischer Cartoons! In this little side detour is to hone and refine my inking skills for the upcoming Guardian legion models and Doom Brigade sheets. Don't worry this won't effect my Doom Brigade No. 1 coming soon. I just wanted to basically take my art style, and Those Fleischer Cartoons and translate that into a comic style and updated look for that universe. First up, Superman! So here I decided to use a black belt (colored grey in highlights) medium reds, light baby blue shirt and pants. yellow border around the red "S". back "S" is just yellow, with a black "S" and yellow shield on medium red cape. Boots medium red, with a yellow border. (I wanted to make just a few mods to the costume, those little touches of differing color will make the suit standout. ) the Face, I always liked the Ed McGuiness style of simplicity, and eyebrowed hidden eyes. seemed to evoke the feel of the Cartoon look. I liked a bit more hair to My Superman over the cartoon, and a bit more "Widow's peak heavy" then that of Mc Guiness. A marrying of the two models. I also Like the Short knee High cape, and the rounded boot toppers. A definite rare design, and elegant. I wanted to have that translated too, over the traditional spikey boot toppers. Fleischer's Superman Costume is sleek, powerful and bold, basic and elegant. It's curved boots, to the "S" shield with Yellow Border, it's shorter Cape, and Action is a perfect choice for me as a comics universe. I intend to continue releasing a new ink only character model of Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Perry white, Eagle Men, the Mummy warriors, evil scientists, giant robots, etc.. This is to again practice and yet also show DC comics How I would want to see them do a comic series.  I mean there could be original stories intermixed with a translation of the cartoon stories into each book.

I may take some artistic License too, Like I would love to do a Fleischer style Bizarro Superman! Maybe I will...
~Cheers!
