Well, the story was set into motion with Green Lantern: Rebirth.  After that, I read The Sinestro Corps War, volumes I and II, Rage of the Red Lanterns and Agent Orange.

I saw The Fantastic Mr. Fox over the weekend.  I enjoyed it, it had some funny points, and the animation was nice.  I liked how they did the particle effects (smoke, dust, etc) without using CG.

Could be that, then.  Gah, that show looked like it was drawn and animated in MSPaint.

Green Lantern: Rebirth was easily one of the best comics I've read in a long time.  The Absolute Edition of it comes out next year, and I really want it, even though I already own all the issues.  We'll see what extra stuff comes with it.

Also, as for favorite scenes in all of GL, from Rebirth to Blackest Night...

(click to show/hide)

It was when the Sinestro Corps was first forming.  I found it so awesome that, in ALL of Sector 2814, the first person the Yellow Ring of Fear went to was the goddamn Batman. 

"BRUCE WAYNE OF EARTH.  YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO INSTILL GREAT FEAR.  WELCOME TO THE SINESTRO CORPS."

As awesome as that is, what my favourite scene so far is...

(click to show/hide)

That tease of the Scarecrow almost getting a ring.  I mean, c'mon!  The Scarecrow!  That pissed me off that he didn't get the ring.  Geoff Johns better rectify that.

"JONATHON CRANE OF EARTH.  YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO INSTILL GREAT FEAR.  WELCOME TO THE SINESTRO CORPS."

Behind Dee-Dee is Secret Squirrel.  He is indeed related to Cartoon Network, as they're owned by Hannah-Barbera, if I recall.  Or at least strongly affiliated with them.  The kid with the camera looks like one of the characters from Phineas & Ferb, a show I don't watch and therefore dunno what character is what.

I second that.  I have been holding my tongue, trying to figure out a way to best critique your stuff without sounding too blunt or even too critical, but honestly, I don't think there is any way to sugarcoat it.

You need to learn anatomy.  Even basic anatomy.  You need to learn proportions, musculature, and body structure.  There are plenty of helpful books out there.  I recommend Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy by Christopher Hart.  

This may sound like you're being picked on, and while you may only have wanted to see positive responses, honestly, the worst kind of advice anyone could ever get, particularly an artist, are the ones where "everything is perfect."  It is clear that you need to practice and refine your technique.  Go look up some tutorials, get hold of some art instruction books, set aside some time every day and practice, practice, practice.  With the right instruction, you'll see improvement pretty quickly.  

Also, take your time.  As Kit has pointed out, the end result doesn't give the impression that you do.  When it comes to art, it's quality, not quantity.

Is Daffy Duck in my Doc Lanterns?
Just checking.

Looks like it.  But since you have the Power Battery, then he'd end up being a Doc Lantern.

Well maybe Quickie can take a stab at it to, another night! 

Either way, it's Wandaful!   

Actually, yeah, either tomorrow night or Saturday night I may pop that into Photoshop and colour it.  Tonight I'm just too tired to work on pics beyond super-simple Photoshop edits to a Shadow Devil.

Very sexy.  Sometimes, the sexiest outfits don't need to be painted on and otherwise barely there.

Actually, no.  Essentially all the Black Rings do are re-animate the dead and download your memories so you can get a high emotional response from the person you're trying to rip the heart from.  In a sense, you're not wearing the ring.  The ring is wearing you.

I am seriously surprised no one has said "In Soviet Russia, Power Rings wear you!"  But I digress...

But seriously, can we have a Shadow Devil BL? 

If there's a dead Shadow Devil and you reanimate it, I don't see why you can't have one.  Reanimate one of the Devils of which Wily stole the identity.

At this moment, the next turn is up for grabs.  I'm not volunteering as I'm seriously strapped for ideas for this.  Got ideas for other things, but not for this one.
