Oil Spill Super Cleanup: Part 2
  [...in darkest night, no crude oil shall escape my sight...]


June 04, 2010

Part 2: What if the President called in the Green Lantern to deal with the oil spill. Well, in general, his ring lets him do whatever the hell he damn well pleases...as long as it's not yellow, then he's boned. And yes, crude oil is actually brown, but hey, this is comic book science, so it doesn't have to be completely accurate. And come on, I mean yellow! That's a really lame super-weakness. Oh, and this is supposed to be the Hal Jordan Green Lantern (the top image was based on an image of that character, although he looks like a midget, the bottom was not).

This was a test of sketching something on the pen tablet. It was 1am, I was tired, so I didn't do much touching up, just using photoshop to sketch things. And yes, of course the phallic imagery is intentional. And yes, I should have colored things green, but that's how lame I was. I also wanted to make him look like he was drenched in oil or water or something, but to be honest, that was beyond me at the time. The pencil sketch from yesterday looks better, but I think it's a matter of learning how to use the (electronic) tools. The text was simply written using the pen directly in photoshop.

There are still many more heroes the President could call.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background image, just click on the image.
