Description
EDIT: I considered Doga-87 and KingLeonUniverse 's suggestions. I drew in the embossing from the old belt and putting less yellow on the shield by making the S thicker. Thanks for pointing those things out. I think it looks much better. :]I ALSO included a stealth version. Working much like the stealth costume technology in the Young Justice animated series, I imagine Batman incorporated it into Supes' costume without asking. xD
Batman: "Batman to Nightwing. We're going around the back of the building. I promise we won't be seen this time." >:I
*Pokes S-shield* *SUDDEN COLOR CHANGE*
Superman: "AughsjhlfhgshkfkfwhatdidyouDO?!"
Redraw of this old thing: Now with real muscles. And a neck!
Yes, I am aware that I draw this man too much and that I need help. But this is definitely my favorite Supes drawing/design that I've done thus far. Of course I'll hate it tomorrow but whatever. There wasn't really a lot that I changed, surprisingly. Just the S shield and the belt and the addition of a more logically shaped cape. It's mostly the anatomy that changed.
He's so meaty that he can't put his arms all the way down, lol. Doorways must be an obstacle. :/ And apparently he can crush man's skull like sparrow egg between thighs now.
Feel free to let me know if you think it sucks. ;D Or if I should learn to draw something else besides SUPERMAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
Off topic. Isn't this, like, really cool? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VCq0i…

I can't express how much I love it! The boots! The S! The red parts on the sides of the torso and between the legs! You totally nailed it! And though I'm not a big fan of your version of Batman, I would love to see you redesign some other superheroes. *cough* Flash *cough*

A modern look with an old school feel. I like, nice job.

I like this a lot better than most attempts at getting rid of his underpants. In fact, I think you gave him actual pants, rather than a onesie, which I always preferred as an idea. The new S logo is also great, looking traditional while also actually being believable as a "symbol that's not actually an S", as wonky as I think that concept may be.

That's an interesting rendition of the S-Shield. Not sure what to make of it. The cape also is a bit more subtle rendition of his N52 cape, it seems.

It's less of a New52 homage and more of an acknowledgement of the cape's form. If you take a blanket and tuck the tips in at the shoulders, the bottom corners are going to be pulled up while the middle of the fabric dips farther down. Supes' cape is a blanket in reality, so drawing it as if it were an evenly-tailored mantle made no sense to me. :]
Thank you for your comments, NCFan. I appreciate it. <3

Hmm; interesting. Never was a fan of the blanket-cape myself, but if that's the route you're going with, drawing it like that makes sense.
No problem.

Look, if you're going to get obsessed over a guy and draw him way too much, it may as well be this guy cuz he's great and he'll never hurt you. And he has perfect hair.

Amen, sister. It's healthy drawing a character every once in a while that embodies the best of us... both personality and hair-wise. u_u

...also yay Superman! I really don't care what you draw, as long as you share it here for us to admire.

I KNOW RIGHT? Found it completely on accident. I wish it was better quality. I love watching war dances of all sorts.
Thanks times a million for your interest in my work. I'm always stressing about how repetitive I think I'm being.

I feel ya. I do the same thing, too paranoid about what others think to just share my work. e_e;

Hi Harseik. I love your idea for the design, since quite a long time, but suddenly, on this more true proportions, I feel something unbalanced. I find it weird to see yellowlines on the torso between the red and the blue while having none on the legs. Ithink it would work better with no yellow line on the otrso, or with yellow lines on the legs too. What do you think ?
Alex
PS : I love what you did with the symbol.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. The idea of putting yellow piping on the legs has come up several times both here and in past works. I incorporated it in Supes Design Three-Billion.0 and thought that maybe there was too much yellow going on. What do you think? Does it look more balanced in the last picture? I assumed that the yellow highlights on the boots took care of the color blocking problem, but hey, I'm always on the fence about this stuff.
At the same time, I'm aware that piping is a cliche in the realm of action hero redesigns, and because of this I tried limiting the use of piping, but getting rid of it entirely like you suggested might possibly make it look better. Then again, it puts a lot of emphasis on the torso, which is good for the shield. I'll definitely keep your opinions in mind the next time I do a redesign. Maybe depart from the piping/color sections and try something new entirely. :]

Hey Harseik! Sorry it took me so long to reply ! ><
Yes, ok, I see what you mean, the -Supes 3 billion.0- design had the yellow lines all over, I just checked it. You're right, I felt this was too much yellow, but the colors/details were also better balanced. It may mean that the idea does not work.
Or maybe it would be a good idea to actually make more. Repeat the detail but make the line thiner. Torso, legs, and adapt the yellow of the boots to the same thickness than the body. And add some line for the cape somewhere. It could work. What do you think ?
I also think you're right not piping too much 
Oh, 2 things : you know you could play with the saturation of the yellow and I'm sure that, just by making it less saturated, you would have a different result. And again, the symbol is great. Such a new thinking.
Just let me know

I'm totally digging this look.
And I can just picture Supes flailing away from Batman and striking a karate pose that totally fails and is probably learned from watching too many Jackie Chan movies.

I'm curious to the reasoning behind the new "swirl" on the emblem.
Also, it's less prominent on this one, but looking at the thumbnail of the old one the fact the blue loops into the belt and is contrasted so easily by the red makes a instinctual silhouette that made me think he was wearing blue stripper tights and a garter belt.
Once I saw there was no red on the hips to indicate it was stripper tights, my brain let go of that image.
Still, makes me laugh to glance really fast at it.

Oh, well, to quote a previous comment of mine: I think the yellow stripe gives an illusion of embossing, albeit stylized, as well as a sense of movement that is wispy, like a calligraphy pen. Plus I had fun picking apart the shape of the 'S' in relation to the border surrounding it, so I was playing with the idea that the top and bottom of the 'S' was attached to the diamond border, while the swoosh floating in the middle would help to complete the glyph, giving it an 'S' appearance that was not intended by the Kryptonians, but could easily be taken as an 'S' by humankind.
I thought there was something wrong with the belt loops in the previous version, so I dialed them down here. They were too thick or stressed by gravity or something. Hopefully I fixed it this time around. P:

Really digging this design, what I find interesting is where you placed the red on the lower half of the outfit. Most redesigns I have seen have little to no red on the legs, this is really cool.

I can be a little obsessive compulsive when it comes to color blocking, so I had to make up for the lack of briefs by incorporating an almost chaps-like shape - the only thing I could think of at the time. Haha. Thank you very much for having a look and letting me know what you think. <3

No problem, like I said one of the best re designs I have seen of supes so can't wait for more

I thought about incorporating a more briefs-like shape, but I remembered that my goal was to try designing something without briefs all while still addressing the color blocking problem that is existent in the MoS, New 52, and many other "onesie" renditions. Adopting a briefs shape seemed like cheating to me.
Thank you! <3

The classic suit can never be replaced.
That said, this is a wonderful redesign. I love it. 😁

I couldn't agree more. The original is absolutely perfect. Just wish the designer's bug in me understood that. P: Nice to hear of your approval, Snapperworth. Thanks for stopping by.

Part of the classic suit's perfection is in its ability to lend itself to be redesigned. It's the quintessential superhero costume, after all.

Oooh. This is a great re-design! I especially love how Superman has a stealth option now xD. It's really cool and the lines are so clean 8O

Frankly, a new color scheme alone isn't gonna hide a laser-shooting, sound barrier-breaking, wall-demolishing show-boater like the Man of Steel. Oh well. Batman had to try something.
Clean lines, huh? Considering that this is a sketch, that's awesome to hear.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think any amount of dour colors can hide Clark's spirit.
Yeah, I didn't notice it was a sketch until you said so xD. I like it a lot!
