**Profil** · February 9th, 2005, 03:57 PM

O_o Awesome as usual.
Some crits:
Seems that the green guys right "eyebrow" (from our perspective) is too big if you compare it with the other one.

Keep rockin

Cool, is that Lobo back there? Nice bit of psychadelia mixed in there very 60's poster pop. nice work.

**gauss** · February 9th, 2005, 05:02 PM

that's one of the most, i don't know... humanized portraits of superman i think i've ever seen. it retains his superhero nature but makes him look like more of a real person, gives the piece some interesting depth. also very nice work on the psychadelic background, hard to get a handle on colors like that without overpowering the rest of the piece. so yeah, the usual good stuff we expect from you

**Oblio** · February 9th, 2005, 05:05 PM

me?

luv ya jon

**fukifino** · February 9th, 2005, 05:31 PM

I agree with Gauss...I couldn't figure out what it was that I really liked about this Superman, but I think he nailed it. There's a realness...a down to earthness in his expression and features. But it still retains a strength. Diggin' it.

**JoshuaTheJames** · February 9th, 2005, 05:39 PM

Geez. I just can't help but, to post!!!!! ARGGGGGG!!!

THIS IS FATTY BOOM BATTY!!!!!!

I'm in love!

**S.C. Watson** · February 9th, 2005, 07:15 PM

Re: who's the guy in the back?: Sirius Black!!

Great pic as always, Jon. Right-click-save (computer shudders under the weight of saved files...)

Cheers,

six people just quit their day-job.

that looks great jon.

**Kress** · February 9th, 2005, 08:06 PM

Awesome dude. Was this personal work by any chance?
Anyway - I aspire to paint form with chunks of color, and Martians face/neck are a specific example of your skill in this.
I'd have to agree with the eyebrow perspective issue raised earlier, but aside from that I totally dig it. Especially the 60's psychadelia behind superheroes (and the fact that Superman isn't bursting out of his costume), yay!

**Nirox** · February 9th, 2005, 08:10 PM

is it "dream" from th comic Sandman?

**liquidwerx** · February 9th, 2005, 08:31 PM

Beautiful work as usual.

**nicolas** · February 9th, 2005, 08:40 PM

SWEET!! I dont usually like superman, but the way you've done him he doesnt look like a goody two shoes, on the contrary...he's cool....human.
Really nice!!!

NIC

p.s.- who IS that guy in the back?

**Prehistoric** · February 9th, 2005, 08:42 PM

i think it is lobo.

nice work. and as far as the realistic look of superheroes, i'm a big fan of that too. much like alex ross, but not too soft.

love it. what's going on in the background?

**Dan Milligan** · February 9th, 2005, 08:56 PM

Superman's armpit is perfect. (Jon you know what I'm talking about.)
Who did you use for reference on Superman body?...wink.
You nailed it Jon. I stared at this all day.

Luv ya
Dan

**wes9000** · February 9th, 2005, 09:12 PM

so nice jon
love the light

**Kenny_Callicutt** · February 9th, 2005, 09:58 PM

everyone else is doing it
I love you.

**foster** · February 9th, 2005, 11:21 PM

gaus, those were some of the nicest words i have read, thanks.

"i like you dotty, liiike." pee wee herman

**daarken** · February 9th, 2005, 11:59 PM

wow, i really like supermans hand. sooo pretty. hey, where are the detail shots??

**Bomba** · February 10th, 2005, 12:21 AM

Jon,

Looks like you had fun with this piece. Nice and different.

That is so cool, Lobo in the Justice league. That was one of the names that crossed my mind, but I couldn't believe that lobo would mix with the justice league. Its like oil and water. But you managed to do it Jon. I'm convinced.

**tylerjwarren** · February 10th, 2005, 01:29 AM

If I'm not mistaken, and I might be, there is a scar down Superman's face. That's cool, and if not, still cool. Truly great work!

**emily g** · February 10th, 2005, 03:34 AM

Thanks for the detail shots, Jon.
I think Superman looks so great and humanized because of the sensitivity about his mouth--great job.

emily

**daarken** · February 10th, 2005, 04:09 AM

haha, thanks for the detail shots jon, especially the hand

**Ra Havok** · February 10th, 2005, 05:49 AM
