Superman:Exile in Space prelim

Superman in Exile cover sketch/prelim on EBAY click here

At top is the prelim for a painting for the trade collection of Superman:Exile in Space. The initial sketch done for editorial approval is below. I like both, but the top one has Superman surrounded by black space, making him seem more isolated. See how this works now? There's always more to this stuff than is evident  in the final cover or art:)
