Description
Convention sketch of Hal Jordan from the Baltimore con '09. A little ink, a little pencil, a little of everything. But no color. I'm useless with live color - digital's all I can do.Related content

It's an excellent sketch! Hal looks great! But why do you hate him so much? He's one of my favorites (Besides Batman and Spider-Man obviously)

I don't hate Hal Jordan at all. He was my guy for a long, long time when I was a kid. I don't care for the way he's been turned into this perfect, untouchable deity of a character lately, or the way he's been made into the center of the Green Lantern world and everything revolves around him. What I liked about Hal was how flawed he was, not that he was "perfect". If he was written more like Han Solo, I'd enjoy his stories more.
So I guess it's just the butt-crazy Hal fanboys that make me nuts.

Yeah, I agree. Too perfect can get really boring. As for me, I may be a bit of a Hal fanboy...but I do like Kyle and Kilowog alot too. Those are my 3 favorite GLs. I also like Sallak, John, and Arisia. Alan Scott's cool too, even though he's not part of the corps. Although technically neither is Hal these days...

Well, thanks. That's a great compliment - nothing better than fans wanting to see more of you on a book they love. I wouldn't mind that job at all, BTW; drawing Green Lantern would be a dream!

Good luck with that - he's not a very faithful guy. You'll need to keep your eyes on him in case he starts wandering off with some other girl. Or three.

You're Welcome. I always thought he was cool, well all of them really. I considered getting the GL symbol as a tattoo, I still might.

Oh, there has to be some Green Lantern you like! It's what always attracted me to the concept - there are a bajillion of them! There's gotta be ONE GL for everybody that they can think is pretty cool.
Thanks for the compliment, even if it isn't your bag.

HAHAH! Okay, okay I give. There is one Green Lantern I like... JOHN STEWART! (XD) I just wish there was more of him but then again I should probably pick up on a GL book once in a while! No problem!

AdamWithers In reply to MissKorya [2009-10-24 03:19:48 +0000 UTC]
Yeah! Do that! I'm a Kyle Rayner guy, m'self, but there are a lot of GL's that I like. John's one of them. Actually, Hal's just about my LEAST favorite GL. Huh.

MissKorya In reply to AdamWithers [2009-10-24 04:29:10 +0000 UTC]
I like Kyle. I like John. I can't stand Guy, I loathe Hal. The only reason I've ever mention to write him, is so the 'other' majority of GL fans won't feel like I'm dismissing him completely, although if I could I'd go without him (XD)

AdamWithers In reply to MissKorya [2009-10-24 04:46:20 +0000 UTC]
I like Guy, but specifically because he's a colossal a-hole. When used as part of an ensemble, he provides the d-bag voice that can lead to much humor and some great interactions. So I guess I like him as a writer's device to create character interplay more than as a person, but when dealing with fictional characters it's all the same thing, right?

MissKorya In reply to AdamWithers [2009-10-24 14:01:00 +0000 UTC]
Of course (XD) and Guy's lucky that's the only reason I'm keeping him around! Muwahahaha *cough* ack... writers block.

I hope one day my con sketches will look as awesome! I just have to 'break' myself in .
With the pencil and ink mix, I think you could add some easy simple color...like minimal color pencil on the edges away from the 'wouldbe' light source...or just like you handled the grey of the pencil, but just put the color 'within' the area of the pencil yet only a portion like half (again, on the edge of it)...in addition to the grey/pencil.
And I love the contrast of the blackout with the thin lines of power...quite the nice contrast and representation of weight/mass.

AdamWithers In reply to NGoff [2009-10-22 16:04:08 +0000 UTC]
I suppose, but then I'd have to keep color supplies with me at every con, and then I'd have to force myself to hold back from using TOTAL color when I want to add just a little more and then just a little more and so on and so on and so on into infinity. I know myself enough to recognize a slippery slope when I see one. Better to have none than to tempt myself with some.
Thanks for the compliments, though. Much appreciated.

Ohhh how I know what you mean....that's why I haven't got myself into WOW or other MMoO's and RPG's....I learned my lesson (for now) with anime.
And you're very much welcome!
PS. I still plan on putting the anime list together for you...
