Hey guys, wanted to share this slighting different take/version of Superman I did… The idea is that Superman has lost his powers… has been branded… and now is starting to fall deeper and deeper… I also want to leave this story a little open to for interpretation. Thanks for all the feedback everyone

Great work! I think the lower lid should be more defined and detailed. Perhaps it’s due to SSS shader.

It’s…very well made. I had this idea that the Post-Crisis Superman would eventually end up looking like Bizarro, because that version is a clone of Superman. Writers always claimed he ages slowly as his powers grew stronger in time. I found that to be crap because he aged like humans did up until his prime. So my idea was that his flesh begins to petrify in his old age, resembling Bizarro’s skin. He also loses his ability to retain his body moisture while being solar-powered. So he suffers a hardening of the brain, leading to damage to his mind. In a way, Modern Bizarro is just a Superman clone with progeria.

:twisted: Ah heck! I love it!

Very nice idea and you executed it great! I love it. Especially how he has aged some, could i ask if you used photos for the textures/reference? Im just wondering what your workflow is for creating him.
