Awesome MAN OF STEEL Concept & Style Guide Art For Superman, General Zod & Faora
Conceptual illustrator, Warren Manser, has contributed on past comic book movies, like Thor and Daredevil, and now he has released his concept and style guide art for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.
The website, Film Sketchr, has nabbed an interview with veteran concept artist, Warren Manser. They discuss which designs Warren worked on for Man Of Steel, and even discuss the Superman's red briefs, which were abandoned in Zack's version of the suit.
Film Sketchr: It sounds like a dream job. What did you work on for the film?
Warren Manser: I worked exclusively on Superman's suit. The other Kryptonian undersuits were variations of that design, so those were included. I've never had an experience quite like it, and to say that I was excited is an understatement. I created numerous concepts of the Man of Steel, which eventually evolved into the final design.
Zack Snyder was 'hands on' in the process and provided us with great direction. We discussed the specifications and manufacturing techniques we needed to accomplish, and I even created some visual diagrams to aid in communicating the plan.
From there I worked with vendors, costumers, 3D artists, and fabricators to help realize the final product. What I really like about the approach was that we employed both traditional and modern fabrication methods. Incredible hand crafted quality merged with digitally created costume elements, and I was right there in the middle of it. I couldn't have been happier.
