sweet manip man.

Thanks everybody for the nice compliments, I'm glad I am able to make something that I enjoy working on that also pleases other people.
On this next piece I wanted to focus on his life as Clark and Superman.The yellow is supposed to represent what physically fuels him, the green is what kills him. A showcase of his strength and weakness.
A simple picture of him sitting at his desk that was to represent the part of him that's always waiting, observing, always alert and working hard to expose the crimes of Metropolis so people are aware of the dangers around them. He sits there, fully realizing that this part of him can never be the guy that everybody likes, he can never fully be himself. So he adapts the personality of a shy and quiet, yet rather excellent reporter that finds that by working hard and staying focused on his mission and out of the spotlight ,is the only way he can really exist as Clark Kent the reporter.
He's fully aware that he has to sacrifice a great deal of things as Clark Kent in order for his alter ego to exist and do his job properly. And that's what the picture of superman posing is supposed to represent. Always ready to rip that shirt open and reveal the red and blue suit that people have come to know and love as Superman. He realises that truth and Justice can't always be fought with physical efforts alone, but sometimes the barrel of the pen can have an equally important effect.

This is awesome

Another gem mike, absolutely amazing work, as always

 

[Billy Batson]

Once again BIG Mike.

 

[smsvmos]

Hey Mike do u think u can do a Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor II Manip so we could see how Lex would look with hair?

 

[MAN O STEEL]

I have to say Mike in all honesty, after seeing the string of brilliant manips you've done over the yrs & how you can actually see big strides in progression in each one, I feel this latest one to have taken 4 big steps back. First I think it would have been better to pic a picture of Tom that wasn't from season 4 since he still looked quite young back then & the pic you chose wasn't one of my favs. Also I feel you could have made the trunks a lil bit bigger, I feel it to a be a bit like a piece of string at present time. Also perhaps making his hair shorter would be an option also, a bit to long for Superman IMO. Overall though it's good work & your Ck is beyond perfect. The hair feels very reminicent of CK's hair in Superman 3 which I liked very much. Keep up the good work man. t:


[EDIT] Sorry also forgot to add that I think lightening the blue a bit so we can see more of the texture on the suit would be good also. One thing I always liked about your manips is the detail & texture of the suit. Always blows my mind. that is all.

Thing is Steve, I got a new job about 5 months back, and It takes up most of my time, and I don't have time to do those big complicated drawings/manips anymore. I have to settle for something way way smaller than what I originally envision in my mind. Take this picture for instance. That Shield was done like 4 months ago as a completely separate drawing, I just added this in because it looked to empty without it. Then I did the supes one, because I always liked that picture even though he does look very young in it, and that alone took like almost a month to do, what would usually take me 2-3 days, then the Clark one, which I just improvised. And the lack of time just made me take the easy way out and draw in the yellow and green colors as the background in stead of actual people behind and around Clark, walking by or whatever.
There are a million things I would like to do that would blow your mind completely. Like huge huge fights with several of the Superman villains, Darkseid, Doomsday, Parasite, Metallo, Livewire, and so on. But I'm afraid I don't have time for things like that anymore. I'm frikkin reduced to making manips of superman in the same pose because anything else takes to long.

Ahhh ok, well that's pretty understandable man. It was a good effort never the less& your still ahead of the game when it comes to maniping. I'm sorry if I came off to harsh, I have a tendancy to do that without meaning to. That manip you did of TW as Superman in the barn was just breathtaking though. I've shown that to ppl & they've sworn by thier own lives that the pic was 100% authentic, that's how good you are man. keep up the good work fella & enjoy Smallville tomoz, gonna be a good one. (well tomoz for me but today for you )

Was going through some of my pictures and I came across a old drawing I did as an experimental piece of supermans take off, smallville-style. Needless to say I was never satisfied with this one, so I never posted it. But now I'm kinda curious to see what you guys think.

 

[kal_el_526]

its now showing =(

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea not showing mike.

 

[spidey-dude]

I can see it fine... good job as always not too sure it looks like he is taking off though, but I think I get what you were going for

 

[smsvmos]

I cant see it

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea its not showing at all it just a pic of mypicx.com

 

[Mike22]

Let's try that again.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

I think it's great.

 

[Webhead2006]

its working now mike, it does look nice.

 

[Gmanofsteel]

that's a thing of beauty mike!

 

[Bad Superman]

a quickie using the new promo

That would be the perfect final shot for the series finale.

 

[Webhead2006]

hopefully when the show is over we get something like that.

 

[B]

Let's try that again.

Absolute Quality

You've pretty much got how I want Superman to look on screen, the suit you do is fab

 

[Mike22]

Can't believe some of you guys actually thought that last one was any good, hehe. I'll have to make a better version of that some day.
But anyway, I made a new one that I've had in mind for a good while now. I can only hope and pray that we'd get shot like this for the Smallville season finale.

 

[Webhead2006]

another stellar manip mike.
