Adaptation A: Further character design

 I've added items or merely just edited the design of these characters to add more personality to them and to bring in context through this detail.

I've made the Christopher Reeve rendition of Superman have smaller pants to suit how they dressed in the 70's/80's. They some how saw a man in speedo's as masculine and he-manish but hey, whatever floats their boat.

The 1950's Superman I've done the opposite and made his pants bigger and Simon Cowell-ish, which is the way he would have worn them in that time period.

For Marlon Brando's character Jor-El I've made his outfit glow like it did in the movie because of his omnipotent persona.

Richard Pryor's character Gus would stereotypically have a pen in his pocket, being a computer programmer. And his actual persona as a comedian would stereotypically have a 'rolled up something' as Alan suggested.

Margot Kidder's character Lois Lane was a 70's character so I added the oversized 70/80's collars and added a pen and notebook as she would stereo typically be seen with this as a reporter.

Adaptation A: Character Improvement

Christopher Reeve

 An improved version of the old Superman Character. The hair is more accurate and I've made the character look taller and thinner to match Christopher Reeves physique judged by Margot Kidder's description of him as 'the skinny wasp'.

Character Design: Colour Variations

Here are some character variations to experiment with colour to see if there are better suited colour schemes to match the characters persona

Blu colour scheme and hat experiments

I have also experimented with the scale and location of the hat on Blu's head to see if if it looks better another way.

Concept for Animatic

I want my animatic to be very derelict and deserted so that most of the sounds made are coming directly from the main focuses, Francis Bacons figures.The background noises would majorly be strong winds and desert birds.

Last Thumbnail idea before final development

This is the last of my final 3 ideas that will be further developed into my 3 finished concept paintings. for this particular thumbnail I used various textures to get the ancient inscriptions on the walls, I'm not sure if i was subtle enough though. What do you think?

Second Photoshop Thumbnail

Like my first digital thumbnail, this one was just an exploration of perspective and depth but I'm really happy with the finished product so I'm keeping it as another final idea which I will experiment with further.

I was told by Jordan (digital painting lecturer) that I should veer away from using such soft brushes which I will do in future with my colour and composition studies of this scene. I know I've made some obvious mistakes and miscalculations but I'm hoping with the practice my further studies of these scenes will give me, my technique with photoshop will improve immensely.
