    Hal Jordan-Green Lantern Corpsman

    Here's Hal. Basic Hasbro GL body and head, repainted. I wanted to make Hal look like a 50's space adventurer. I only took a few liberties with the GL suit, taking a cue from Rocky Jones Space Ranger.

    The power effect is removable.



    I gave him a sidearm and belt like a USAF pilot would wear, Hal carries it in case of ring faliure.


    And to save starting another thread, here's a shot of the Martian Detective Jonn Jonnz. I've always really liked mystery men that just wear a normal suit like Doc Savage or Sandman. I sort of got the idea from the alien character from Alienation.

      I dig the retro/futurisitic look on both.

            I like the character design for the first one - he's a nice-looking figure, but I can't quite dig him as GL. Have you ever done an Adam Strange? I think he'd be fun one for you.
            The Martian Manhunter is my favorite of your alternative takes on the Justice League. He'd also look good with a trenchcoat or a fedora. I always picture J'onn mimicking Dick Tracy or Humphrey Bogart.

                I'm so digging both of those customs! I Like the retro Atomic Age feel to them!

                        I'll try and get to it Monday or Tuesday. Next up will be the Emerald Archer, totally ripped off from Errol Flynne.

                          Love the GL suit and the power effect is really cool. Did you make that?

                          The JJ is awesome. Love that character. Never seen that head before. Is that something you did? I really like the shape of it.

                            ^^^ The power effect for Hal is hot glue i applied over a spare hand to the shape of the hand. Jonn's head is a Hasbro one with some added putty to the back of the skull.
