ChildHood Heroes : Guy Gardner Part 6 - Colored!

So, I finally have a colored version of the redrawn Guy Gardner #3 cover that I did a while ago. Colors are thanks to my good pal Steve. Thanks to the great Joe Staton for the original.

The plan was to do full color but alas, I do not have the time to fully color this image how it should be done. I apologize but here is the final black & white image. After Joe Staton of course.

ChildHood Heroes : Guy Gardner Part 4 - Re-Drawing Cover of GG #3

So, my favorite issue of this old Guy Gardner series is issue #3 where Guy figures out that he need to take a beating to charge his yellow ring. There is more dialogue on the ridiculous cover than in the entire book, which features a 22 page battle with a hulking red alien. My goal was to do my version in tribute to Joe Staton's brilliant/ridiculous cover to the issue. Here's the step by step progress. I apologize for the poor quality of the photo's they were done hastily from my old blackberry.

ChildHood Heroes : Guy Gardner Part 3

This post contains none of my drawings but instead a bit of a tribute to good ol' Guy in his prime, including his epic rivalry with Lobo, him gettin KTFO by Batman, his debut with the yellow Sinestro ring & a fan costume.

ChildHood Heroes : Guy Gardner

One of my favorite heroes growing up was Guy Gardner. I started reading his solos adventures after he got the yellow Sinestro ring & beat up Hal Jordan. Even as a kid I realized that his outfit was ridiculous. He wore a leather Fonzi jacket with his ugly yellow G on the front, blue jeans, cowboy boots, & ..........a red headed mushroom cut. Yet, I loved this book. I loved the shit out of it until they turned it into Guy Gardner : Warrior, which was, uh, weird.

Over the next few days I will post more Guy Gardner sketches & I will end with a redrawing of one of my favorite Guy Gardner covers. Stay tuned. please.
