I started doing this sculpt of Superman in my downtime here at work. I really get sick of seeing everyone portray him as ultra muscular. I don’t think that an alien from a different world would necessarily have muscles like the hulk, I think he would probably be more lean, with greater strength than the rest of us.
I really thought Christopher Reeve was the best build for Superman – kinda muscular but not over the top. With his face, i tried to take elements from a few of the guys that have played him over the years, including some inspiration from Henry Cavill. I really hate Zak Snyder so I don’t know how much I will like the movie, but at least Henry fits the part physically (even if the new suit looks lame)
