Looking great! How is he gonna be held up when finished?
Good question, I may create a translucent zoom effect that connect from the sole of his boots to the a translucent base... or I may just use the Superman shield symbol ( translucent)
definitely the zoom effect and the superman shield symbol as the base. similar to this Sue Storm base, with the shield surrounded by an outer translucent border where the zoom would be attached.
How are you going to give the cape that flight effect since it will be fabric? maybe a built in mini-fan with the base
