Description Another Superman commission... LOL, for this month alone I received 2 requests for Superman art, and 2 two-pager Spider-Man pieces. So far, it's a draw!

Anyway, the client requested that I try to capture Christopher Reeve's emotions as shown in Superman: The Movie(when he failed to save Lois Lane from the earthquake on time), without really "copying" Mr. Reeve's face. This is where he flies to outer space to try to reverse the Earth's rotation on its axis, to turn back time. Yeah, What the hell, right? Talk about defying the laws of Physics. Still, I enjoyed the whole film, which I was supposed to watch for just 5 mins to do research for this artwork.

Wonder if that certain Cher song might go with this pic...you know the one.

















P.S. If you came up a blank. Its "If I Could Turn Back Time".

Wow, great job with his hand and his hair. His face looks great too, lots of emotion in it. The shading is really well done too!

good job suggesting reeve's likeness without letting things get creepy (read: gary frank).

Musashden [2009-10-28 10:05:10 +0000 UTC]

Great pic. But I will never understand how you turn back time by making the earth turn the other way. Logically, it should horribly kill everyone. But whatever. Go Superman, GO!!

haha! Same here! But it's still a great movie, despite that scene!
