Here's the trouble of seeing old images you've done: it's easier to see the things that are wrong with it. Looking back on it now, and if I had just slowed down I don't think I would have made this kind of amateurish mistake. I mean, with a little more planning and a closer inspection of the image in its pencil stage would have avoided this FUBAR all together. Because it's the little things that sell the drawings, you know? Dammit.Case in point: this Superman image. Again, this one was for Jon's collection and considering I had already done the Batman and Robin image, I thought I'd start rounding it off and do a Superman one for him. I didn't think I'd jack it up this badly. The head and shoulders are ridculously skewed and I can't figure out why I got as far as the inking process and not to have caught it. Like I said, it's probably because I just needed a second to slow down.
Anyway, I adjusted the thing in PS (shifted the head and shoulders the right and connected lines, blah, blah, blah...) and put it up for comparison - the 'before' image is the one on top, and 'after' image is below. I don' t know if it's that much better, but for my peace of mind I think it is. I've told Jon I owe him another Superman next time we saw each other and hopefully I'll be mindful of and avoid the mistakes I made on this one. Bah! Annoying.

Eric - any chance you can post anything about the Legion show? Really looking forward to it and to see your stuff! Come visit the Legion blog when you get a chance.
Michael - sorry man. Since neither the show or any of the episodes themselves have been aired, there is absolutely no chance that I can post anything related to the series. Thanks for coming by and for the kind words.
I visited your Legion blog and it is very insightful. I had only heard about the current lawsuit regarding the Superboy character. After going to your blog I'm *that* much more informed. Thank you.
Sigh. There's a huge fanbase out there that's rabid for information. If anyone wants to leak anything anonymously (names of artists or voice actors, model sheets, whatever), I'll be happy to oblige! :)
Have you heard when the show is planned for airing? The only speculation we've heard was based on a voice actor being told it takes an episode about 6 months from recording to airing, and since recording started in February, that puts it at around a September launch.
As for the Superboy lawsuit thing, who knows what (if any) effect it'll have on the series.
