Guy Gardner. Great Green Lantern, or GREATEST Green Lantern? haha!
I know I probably should have used a more interesting construct, the fist thing is done to death, but I can't help it, I see Guy and think "IS. THAT. A. GIANT. GREEN. FIST?!"
This was done as a request for thebuterfly:
[link]But I enjoyed drawing Guy anyway...though I think I could have done a better job of it. I'm not terribly pleased with how this came out. Ah well, it was still fun to do. And we all know Guy's the best.
I'm really glad they're using him in Brave and the Bold. That's something at least!
`ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader.

Anyways it's a simple yet cool picture, the thumbnail really caught my eye. Though I do agree about the fist thing, but when I was thinking about alternatives... honestly the only thing I could think of is Guy summoning up a hot chick in a Bikini to oogle
Yeah the GL weakness is yellow, which they used kinda subtly in the JL cartoon (like when evil!Flash is throwing things at GL and he has a barrier up to protect himself, the yellow butter breaks through and splatters in his face) though it's mostly downplayed nowadays and shows up in the form of the Sinestro Corps (Yellow Lanterns) who are their biggest rival.
Better than the original Green Lantern, though, his weakness was wood!
Hm...I could see Guy conjuring up a pretty lady, but only if Ice was nearby just to mess with her. His crush on her is so elementary school, haha! I love him the best because he's so abrasive on the surface that most people in the DCU don't like him, but he will always be there when push comes to shove, and he does care about his teammates, even if he doesn't show it. Though I like all the Green Lanterns but Hal (and my dislike of Hal is largely unfounded, haha!).
I went with the fist because of him using it in an awesome scene in the Blue Beetle comic, and he is a pretty straightforward guy...though in another comic he makes a construct motorcycle and rides it through space which was pretty badass.
...yes, I totally used this as an excuse to geek out over Guy Gardner, why do you ask?
The Green Lanterns overall are a bit overpowered, but it's kind of justified in canon since they're space cops, and they need to be able to stop intergalactic threats for a planet, since there's generally only one GL assigned to a planet at a time. Even more so now that there are multiple corps (who I just want an excuse to talk about
...did you know that I'm a total nerd, by the way?
I'm not too familiar with Hal's psychotic episode beyond what Linkara has mentioned about it, and as said before I don't know much about the Lanterns, though the idea of their being more than one and different kinds is interesting.
My annoyance with Hal is less the fact that he went nuts and more the fact that everyone in the DCU thinks he's the greatest...when he's actually kinda dull compared to the others. We're told he's awesome without ever really seeing it. I personally don't mind him too much, though, just don't bring him up around my sister, she flat out hates the guy. haha!
