Dowager #01

It's about a year since I decided it might be fun to have a spoof portrait of an Aunt Agatha style dowager at the top of the stairwell in the Gin Palace. She will stare disapprovingly at everyone who passes.

Last night I finally made a start on the project.

It is not really what I'm after and there will have to be at least one more attempt to get the look right before I recreate the outline on larger paper.

It has illustrated to my satisfaction that I am horribly out of practice.

Man of Steel

New pictures from the set of Man of Steel the new Superman movie currently in production.

British actor Henry Cavill was controversially cast as the Last Son of Krypton and possibly more controversially, the Superman costume reflects the redesign in the recent DC Comics' relaunch.

One interesting picture shows a logging truck impaled on tree trunks:



It is particularly good in my opinion, that this has been built as a set, rather than the ubiquitous CGI that we get fed for everything these days.

( Then there are these pictures of Cavill in the union suit... )

I think I know where Superman stows his Clark Kent suit when he's doing the hero thing, now...
