Man O' Steel

I was inspired to doodle my interpretation of Superman for one of The Drawing Board's character jams:

Illustration Friday: Portrait

This is a different style then I usually do; I wanted to try some different techniques gleaned from various inspirations. This was all done in Photoshop, unlike most of my latest work which I used Flash for. I also tried a more painterly way of coloring it then I normally do. Another thing is that I tried to rely less on cartoon drawing conventions, and come up with unique ways of interpreting the face in a cartoony way.

Call him Captain Cornflake.

A friend of mine where I work created this character for an independent game project he'd like to do eventually and asked me if I could design him based on a few sketches he had made. He's Captain Cornflake and he dispatches injustice with his trusty super spatula. Crazy, I know, but it makes about as much sense as an Italian plumber in a land of mushrooms, at least. At some point I'd like to start on a 3D model of this guy for the actual game.
