Man Of Steel Prologue: Legion

Description

Sorry Batman fans, I'm a little psyched from MoS so there may be an influx of Superman stuff from me the coming months (but I'll be doing Red Hood soon)

Anyway..

Ok before I get complaints that I drew the Legion like a bunch of hipster kids.. or Garth looks like a Harajuku punk... it's all on purpose! The idea I had was that before they went time travelling, they did their best to research 21st century teenage style.. but all they could go by was the internet, CW shows, and fashion magazines.

Plus I wanted to push they really are young. A lot of LoSH depictions have them very adult looking. But I wanted actual teenagers trying to acclimate to teenage life around their idol (Clark)

I tried my best to differentiate the look from the 'Legion' episode of Smallville. I loved that particular ep, but didn't want to straight bite them. Rokk in particular, looks vastly different. I love the Maori circle tattoos I gave him.. he's actually my favorite on this piece. Garth went with the louder Japanese urban look. And I gave Imra the piercings. (Initially was going to give it to Rokk since his thing is metal.. but I favored the tattoos. Plus he might be afraid his powers might tear any kind of piercings from his body)

I wanted Clark to be a midpoint between the young Clark actor (Dylan Sprayberry) and Henry Cavill - since he's at an age older than the former, younger than the latter.

By the way, I loved Man of Steel.. no idea what the hell movie the critics saw but I thought it was amazing.

I love how Saturn Girl holds only Clark's arm as if to say that he's her's.
