Most of you by now know I DO NOT LIKE IT when people smear colors all over my black and white commission pieces. Mostly because 90% seem to have NO IDEA what they are doing. But today I stumbled upon a whole new twist. Dig it:
The coloring itself is not so bad*, but note that the "colorist" has done the best he can to turn my Superman into the recent movie Superman. Blue trunks, blue boots, red belt. sigh ________________ * Tho Thanos has apparently stuck his hand in a wad of cotton candy. . .

Superman was the first thing I noticed, for split second I was fooled. Had thought, "...he did?". For all the costume changes to characters, I dislike his the most.

I don't know much about Thanos, but that color choice does seem odd. Does
he have a trademark energy signature color?

Yeah thats kinda odd. If someone wants to color your art, fine, but why not honor the art and color it as it was meant to be, in this case, classic Superman.
Most the time, I'm not a fan of colorizing the black special effects. Color should compliment the black, not replace it. Sometimes it works but often it just looks wrong.

I swear on my voice, I had to look twice at that print to "see" the coloring. That art just caught my attention... and after that did I notice some messy coloring.
You have trumped the coloring, Mr. Byrne. Well done... as always.

Ugh. That Superman costume coloring job is atrocious. You can obviously tell it's the classic costume colored to look like the movie one.

The biggest problem I see with most of these colorized pieces is that the colorist doesn't add the shadows and highlights properly.

My thoughts are akin to yours, Robert.
It seems disrespectful. You know, it's not the same, but I bought a DC colouring book recently. I felt almost duty-bound to colour the properties correctly even though it was for my eyes only - and just a bit of fun.
I don't know how anyone could have the audacity to do that, to be honest.

It's not quite the same thing but reading this reminded me of something. In the 80s, I had a color by number Spider-Man set. One of the pictures was Spider-Man vs. the Green Goblin. Instead of coloring the Green Goblin as the numbers suggested, I colored him as Hobgoblin.

Maybe this is all part of DC's plan to try and wipe the red trunks from existence 1984 style
