I feel very much the same way. Since reading Geoff John's run with Hawkman, he has occupied a position as my #1 favorite DC hero (with Batman coming in at a close second).

I always loved his origin; the concept of the Hawks being reincarnated warriors was pretty unique for a character who got his start in the 40's, when most fledgling comic characters were more "sci-fi" in nature.

That being said I was never a huge fan of the Katar Hol version; it just seemed like a desperate grab to make the character more "sci-fi" so he'd fit in with the growing trends of space and science fiction in pop culture at the time.

Granted, the New 52 actually managed to make Katar Hol more likable in my eyes (mainly due to throwing in the rougher edge and character depth the Carter Hall version had), but as is always the case with DC, they've relegated him to the dusty shelf where any character not directly involved with Batman or Superman is put.

Yeah awesome picture...Ive been a fan of Hawkman for as long as I remember....I would to see a good reboot that doesnt involve him being just a brute. He's very intelligent..... think Indiana Jones thats fights with a mace......

I love what you did to him plus you made hawkman look more high tech (i didn't even think that was possible)

Hawkman would've been a bestselling TV hit if weren't for that idiot writer Bat-Wacko-Timm framing him for a villain in JL/JLU. That pisses me off.

I'm definitely on the same page as you when it comes to Carter Hall. He's always been one of my favorite characters in comics and I would love to see him treated with a greater level of reverence. I really like the accessories you've put on him. The belts and pouches look great. Also a big fan of the gauntlets you've designed and the Thanagarian power mace is just awesome. Your color scheme is nice, and keeps with the established character (though I've always wished DC would give him either black or brown pants permanantly, just makes more sense to me)

All in all, I really love this rendering of one of my favorite characters. Thanks for posting it.

(BTW, I love your Iron Fist re-design as well. Superb!)
