Freedom--Inks

What started out as a simple lineart commission has blossomed into something much more. I have recently become enamoured with comics once more and, since Superman was the one who got me interested in them at a very young age, I find I have a lingering nostolgic affection for him. Thus it is that I decided to "ink" my lineart. This turned out to be a much harder task than I had anticipated, part of which I blame on the fact that I had mere lineart instead of shaded pencil work, so I had to figure out the lighting as I went.
I used Absolute Batman: Hush as my only reference for the Man of Steel and borrowed Jim Lee's trick of incorporating little stuff into the names on buildings, etc. Unfortunately, this image is too small to see most of them. However, you can still see my initials (DNT), and you might be able to find "Lang"...as in "Lana Lang".
