SUPERMAN:
Nicolas Cage
Hey, it's turning into Superman Week here at the Blog, why not? This time, let's go off script and go with something completely wacky: Nicolas Cage as the Superman that almost happened but never was collaboration with Tim Burton. I will admit, that I was not vibing with this when it was announced, so wasn't too disappointed when it wasn't made (although, the movie 'The Death of 'Superman Lives'" did make me wonder...). Sure, I would have gone to see it, but there were so many things which gave me pause, primarily the casting. Then again, I may have been wrong and it could have been up my alley. Heath Leger's Joker gave me pause before I actually saw it in the theaters and it was perfectly done; Nicolas Cage's Superman could have done the same, who knows? (But, odds weren't favorable, if I had to guess.)
Cage did sort of get his chance to finally fight that giant spider at the end of "Flash" (2023) movie, which was not a very good movie, either. Side Note: The Speed Force and running effects were just terrible after seeing them done right with Quicksilver in the "X-Men" movies (ironically, not very well done in the Marvel "Avengers: Rise of Ultron" (2015) movie).

STEP ONE: Here are the really quick, first pass with digital paint, done on a 2,000px x 3,000px @ 300dpi fine Gesso canvas in Rebelle 7. This time, I used the Oil Palette Knife brush, rather than the Oil Filbert Brush for those of you who are curious.

STEP TWO: Here is the digital painting a little further on and doing what I can to correct initial errors when doing the general layout.

STEP THREE: And here's the finished digital painting. I did color correct it, as there was a green color to the screen grab from the "Flash" movie.
