WIP Cartoon Superman model

Hi there...This is the first time I have posted any of my WIP but wanted to get some feedback on this one......I have been working on this...my first human/cartoon model on and off in my spare time. As an animator I have not built very many models myself but thought I would try build , texture and rig one to try a few animation tests on...

all comments welcome

Thanks

Thanks guys...yea...wasn`t sure about the muscles on his sides...was trying for a half cartoony half real look to it and thought it looked a bit weird with nothing there so added them in...maybe I`ll tone them down a bit and see how that looks....

thanks again

Yah I think your got it good with the half/cartoony look. The only things that look a little off are his arms seem too small, like scaled down for his chest size, and his groin seems a bit too squareish.

As well developed as his chest is, shouldn't his arms be a bit more developed? The groin area looks like a sock in his jocks.

He is great though. Been a fan of the s-man since the late first comic came out. Your interpretation is nice.
