The back looks good! The characters look a little too dark, so how would they look with an inner/outer glow?

Something like this?

That's not cause of the size of her head, that's just her :whistle:
I'm glad you changed the font on your newspaper page mate I was going to suggest that, looks much better now
I agree when you've finalised the colouring etc of the back characters it will look wonderful, I think it's coming along great.
Changing the front and back Supes around as was mentioned could be worth a look....

Just curious bud did you run the back characters through the image improvement?

I'm really not so keen on the outer glow thingie as is.... What do you all think? Should I can the idea, or do you have an idea for improvement?

@NR - no I didn't run the back images thru the improvement thing. I made a number of different adjustments, as hue/resolution/color/levels aso. was very, very different in the original images.

It's probably best to do the glows manually. That way you could better direct the light. Try putting some bursting, blue light in-between the characters at low opacity. I hope that works better.

If you don't like the glow then add some hair detail where it's needed.

:thumb: Will fix their hair next, just wanted to make absolutely sure I was working on the right images! ;) One thing I really loath (call me lazy) is trace some excruciating outline, only to can it afterwards! :D I had to give Jimmy a new suit to make this work.

Worked on composition, outline and background. Trying with Clark on the back as suggested (by Paris numerous times, and others), removed the flying dude. Which of the other fronts do you think will work best as front for this #1?

Think your last attempt might work even better if you made Superman larger and the others smaller.
