YJST: PHANTOMS - Daily Planet Newspaper Photo

WB Animation Prop Design, YOUNG JUSTICE: PHANTOMS, Daily Planet Newspaper Photo.
Media: Digital.

In "Over and Out," the penultimate episode for Season Four, the villainous Kryptonian Dru-Zod, newly escaped from the Phantom Zone, spots a framed Daily Planet newspaper article in the Fortress of Solitude. The article's photo captures the image of Lois Lane conducting an exclusive interview with the Last Son of Krypton, Superman.

Based on a rough storyboard mock-up, I was assigned to create the "photo," using the character models originally designed by Phil Bourassa. Although I only needed to provide the figures, long after the fact I've decided to add a rudimentary background. In the reference provided, Lois looked to be using a microphone. But because Lois is a print reporter, not television, I went with a digital voice recorder and a notepad for greater distinction.
