that piece just confirms my opinion that Shannon shouldn't have facial hair. i really hope they keep him clean shaven for Snyder's depiction.

however, that's a very well done piece, Seraph. the likeness to Shannon is spot on. welcome to the hype!
 
Thank you. Do you not like the facial hair because of the way it looks on Shannon or because it relates to much to other incarnations?
 
Some of the manips of Shannon i've seen with a beard looked kinda odd to me, but I really like Seraph's art with the beard on Shannon.
 
I don't think he should have a beard for Zod. If anything he should just have a goatee or something, but a definitely NOT a full beard.

both...not only would a clean shaven Zod differentiate the character from the Donner version, but Shannon just doesn't look good with facial hair. some people can pull it off...some just can't. Shannon isn't a guy that can.
 
Facial hair makes him look too evil.

No facial hair makes him look like a guy that could be evil or slightly constipated.
 
Anyone remember that one Batman Beyond ep that featured an older Superman?

Remember how he flew when he was chasing after Terry in his Bat plane?

They need to show Zod flying like that at least once in the movie.

Not only would he remind people of Donner's Zod. He'll also look like Donner's Non.

How about a cool moustache instead?

Either a big commanding Stalin. Makes him look like a brawler.

Or those creepy Genghis Khan-like staches. Makes him look slightly.. certifiable.

Regardless... moustaches rule!
 
I think Shannon would actually look better with facial hair. A beard would cover up his very large chin.
 
Can someone remind me how Zod and friends turned up on Earth in the old films?
 
Superman accidentally set them free from the PZ when he threw a h-bomb into space.
 
Ahh right..
Is that the only time Zod and friends arrived via that means?
 
I think so, most recently Zod and co. were freed from the Phantom Zone as demanded by the inhabitants of New Krypton. Usually it's not gone into in depth, just a shocked Superman going "Zod?!". Anywhoo, Shannon, if they go with facial hair should have a goatee, like these:

Guess I'm the only one who thinks that Shannon art makes him look like Steve Buscemi :o But it is very nice, I wish I could draw/create art like that.
 
I'd rather Zod be clean-shaven-makes him more difference from Stamp's Zod.

A clean shaven Zod with the costume design from above would work just fine.
 
Yes, it was posted when Shannon was cast.
 
So, the picture thread has pictures of what looks to be Michael Shannon in a mo-cap suit. Can't wait to see how that turns out!
