Son of Krypton





Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the fortress of solitude!
Still not sure what I think about Superman's new suit but I do like how this one came out.  It's as "accurate" as I could make it using several different references.  With the new DC continuity comes with these new outfits that have absolutely no continuity in the way they're drawn.  They go to great lengths to take his red undies away to simplify and streamline the design only to go and add a bunch of over rendered, inconsistent, zigzaging lines across his body.  

Was trying to think of some quote or caption to put over the top of it but I shied away.  One I thought of (or one I stole, I'm not sure, probably akin to something Grant Morrison would write) was :

"...once measured, even God becomes finite."
                                                    -Lex Luthor

Or perhaps this one would be more pertinent to the new suit:

in big bold letters,
"HATERS BE HATIN'!"


Also here is a little "step by step"... enjoy!
