I like Green Lantern. Maybe more than I let on. Or in a subtle way. Not sure. I mean, it's not like I'm obsessed with the character / comic book. I follow it haphazardly. Ask me about the current story arc. No clue. The Sinestro Corps? The battle of the spectrum lanterns? That was a total surprise. But you know, I've just always like GL. I remember one of my first 'fan-fiction' comic book (back in 3rd grade!) was GL, Green Goblin, and a couple of 'green' heroes. I think we called them the Green Team or something like that. So yeah, Green Lantern and I go a long way back...
So guess what subject matter I used for one of our projects?
This is an exercise in Illustrator, using Live Trace. The two GLs are my original artwork. They are part of my proposed 'fan fiction' story. To be self-published. Soon.
The skills involved here are the pen tool (GL title), clipping mask (GL title, GL Corps), pathfinder (GL logo), knife (the subtle shadows), layering, and typography (title). Also use the eyedrop, gradient, and pencil tools.
Yeah, totally LOVED this project! This is what it's all about!!!
