And thanks for your comments about the color. I thought about the red in Kon's uniform, and I actually took the color from a couple of scans of panels with Kon, averaging the red of his costume, which in that page scan seemed rather bright and vibrant. And then I filled it into my drawing, and I had a thought similar to yours, and for control sampled Superman's cape in another page scan, and well, the red was more or less like that too, though in my picture there is the later effect I applied of the overall grey background which washed out Kon's colors a bit more than Tim's I think, because Tim's costume was already not a clear color but one broken by black and white. I think the effect is also stronger because I made Tim's costume a more muted but darker red than it really is in the comics (it's a quirk, I think he feels more like a Batfamily person like that, even though commonly in canon it's a brighter costume), and it makes you perceive the red differently. And yeah, I can see your point about Kon's tan, and I actually don't know what the canon on this is, but my reasoning for this was that I imagine Superman rather stereotypical fair and by extension think the same of Kon, because I can't really imagine them tanning like regular humans would, what with the Kryptonian deal of converting sunlight into superpowers. Also I I wanted the overall color effect of making Robin darker and Superboy lighter in their colors.
