Was going to foodblog a bit more but I can hear those channel clickers clicking already so here's some art for a change. You've seen the colored covers, but here for the foist time are the pencils to the two covers to Superman 215.
Click here for a closer look.
Sharp eyes may spot the changes that were done after this piece was scanned in. Scott Williams, upon getting the original pointed out some wonkiness so I spent another 2 hours tweaking little minor things. At that point, I was so tired of looking at it, I couldn't stomach even scanning it again.
The interiors look solid and I think are a fitting end to Brian's saga.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHGGGGGG !!!!!!!!
This ONE rules ! your pencils are so sharp and the details ... No I don't care if people say that I'm a geek ! No problem , I'm a geek ! And you know what ? When I see this Picture I'm proud to be a geek ! I'm a Superman geek , A Jim Lee geek and damnit , a comicbook geek !!!
Jim , that's the reason why I love your work : you make me feel like DRAWING ! I hope you are proud of yourself : now I want to draw Superman , batman and every guys of the DC Universe !
This pics is THE reason I love your work : everytime you do a picture , you surpass yourself , nobody ask you to do something so detailled , but you've done it ! No matter how hard it was or tired you were : you've done it ! You have done your 23 pages per month , and many people said you couldn't , who's laughing now ?
You know Jim , I'm not saying that because I want a sketch or because I want some signatures , it's not that I don't care but I'm saying that because , for me , you are a model .
Geek mode off ( until next time ! lol ! )
So does Scott W have a heart attack when he sees he has to ink something like this? ;)
The detail in this piece just jumps off the page. Nice work as always Jim.
I was about to say Wow!! when I saw the pencils..oh well what the heck!!?? WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!
I loved the pencils a lot!! Beautiful work Jim..JESUS ANTONIO
Wow! Are you planning to draw all DC titles? Like Wonder Woman and SHAZAM? It would be amazing to turn the other books into instant hits because of you, working on them. :)
Can Scott W still do pencil works? I think he can really draw kick ass pencil work as well right?
wonderrealm, nah he doesn't but most likely did when he saw the cover to Batman and Robin: the Boy Wonder #1!
missileman, yeah, it's a stiffer pose than normal but that was the intent. I go all out on the figure extension usually but in shots where I want to stage it so that neither figure is getting the upperhand, you need to have the figures more upright. Plus, I needed both of them to be more vertical than horizontal. Also wanted that Superman vs Muhammad Ali cover look where it was two characters going at it toe to toe, slugging away.
eddie, well, after you work with someone for 15+ years, you would think you could ask for changes. I also have no hangups about picking up a pen or whiteout to tweak the inks tho it's rare and Scott has no problems with it as well. In fact, when I ask for changes, he sometimes hands me a pen and say, go ahead, knock yerself out. One of the few benefits of working with someone for so long.
mecha--the inspiration for this cover came from my appreciation and admiration of George Perez's work. He is really good at composing and organizing detailed covers like this with lots of different visual elements.
nooohboy--WW isn't in the cards in the near future. After Batman and Robin: the Boy Wonder, I am returning to the WSU with not one, but TWO different projects!
