Description So I finally got this out of my head and onto paper! I've been working on this a while, not because it was difficult, but mainly because there has been a lot of stuff in between that has taken precedence: s Ms DA Contest, auditions (nothing yet dammit), work, oh, and the whole marrying a beautiful woman thing, which takes a lot of time believe it or not. But I had the day off today and said 'to hell with it' and finished this up.

I had the idea while I was watching a movie (yes it was 300). And so I wanted to see what Superman would look like in a different time era. The colors is what mainly took so long with the drawing. I was thinking of going with a steel grey and red motif, but then decided to go with a gold armor instead, kind of like Hector from the Iliad. And then I wanted to stay true to the colors we all know and love. And you have to have the red cape because...well, hell, he ain't Superman without a red cape.

I wanted to do a background but I couldn't think of anything and didn't want to risk mucking up the picture. If I did have a background I was thinking like above the clouds at sunset or something like that.

I used my Prismacolor markers as usual and I think it turned out rather well. I'm actually considering trying some different heroes in different time periods but I don't know who or when. Maybe The Flash in like the wild west or something. I don't know. Anyone else have any ideas?

Now I can get back to other people waiting on work. I feel inspired for the first time in a long time!

has a contest going on so he's next on the list and has her Djinn contest which will follow, as soon as I order in some different colors of purple. I also need to get prepped for round 3 of s contest. The path ahead looks like its gonna be fun!

Ok, stop yammering Michael. Sorry for the long winded description. Hope you all enjoy. Love to hear all kinds of feedback as always.

This is pretty nice, and a rather interesting take on Super Man's character. I really like how you did the hair coming from the top of the helmet, it flows nicely. Have you tried experimenting with other prismacolor markers and blending them together? You can create some amazing effects with them, such as showing the light reflecting off of the golden armor. I forget the correct terminology at the moment for it (it's on the tip of my tongue), but it'd make Super Man look especially radiant in that armor. Perhaps blindingly so. XD

This is rather late, but congratulations on the wedding! I hope you and your love are doing well.

I've been playing with it, but nothing has really caught my attention yet. What I did here was just simple layering. I started out with a deco yellow, covered everything but the highlight with canary and then shaded with a goldenrod. I've been doodling around lately to see what else I can come up with.

Cool idea. And you converted this idea well.
Just, well an armor made of gold is useless in battle. It fits for Superman Β΄cause heΒ΄s invulnerable (maybe it would be causing ancient Greeks worship him because he canΒ΄t be hurt even wearing a gold armor, lol) but normally, gold armors and weapons were just for show, for ceremonies. If it were bronze covered with gold, that would be another thing Argh, I should stop lecturing already,,, Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....

Have fun in the contests.

When is the date of your wedding?

Don't worry about it, I thought the same thing when I read the Iliad so lecture all you like!

Also, the wedding is May 30th, so it's creeping up quickly!

Very stoic and ... well Supermanish

And yes ... marrying the beautiful woman bit takes a fair amount but ... CONGRATULATIONS! Now you don't have to worry about that and you got through it without killing family or friends.

Sending kudos your way for the auditions.

Thanks for mentioning my contest.

Inspiration is good! And you can yammer all you like
