Updated Heat of Battle Banner

Well, I've updated the banner for the Heat of Battle web site. Similar to the picture I've posted before, but this time complete with the lettering.

Daily Sketches 1

Well, it has been a little over a week since I've posted anything, the main reason being that I've become an Uncle, for the first time! My brother and his wife had a beautiful baby girl this last Saturday, the 9th, and I couldn't be more excited! Things have been a little hectic on the home and work front, also, but I am takin' a little breather. So, I've scanned in a few sketches, almost doodles, that I've done during breaks at work. Nothin' fancy, nothin' super polished. Just a #2 pencil and some paper.

As you can see, I was already drawin' Green Lantern (from last week) and since I mentioned both The Flash and Kid Flash, I drew them, also ... and Colossus from the X-Men. I'm not sure why I drew Colossus except perhaps because my oldest son and I watched the X-Men movies, 1&2, over the weekend. Yeah, that's it.

... No Evil Shall Escape My Sight ...

Another Green Lantern drawing, though just a sketch this time.
Heh, the more I look at it, the more I realize that he's a bit more "buff" than Green Lantern really should be. Time for some testin', if you know what I mean. ;-)

In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night ...

What better superhero to have on a GREEN Eggs and Art blog than Green Lantern? Ol' GL was my third favorite superhero when I was a kid, behind Kid Flash/Flash (yeah, I count them as one) and Spider-Man. In my (young) mind, Green Lantern was a superhero that I actually had a shot of becoming! I mean, chances are I wasn't gonna get super speed from being doused with chemicals after a lightning strike, and there weren't that many radioactive spiders around, but a Power Ring? Heck, surely one of THOSE would fall outta outer space and I'd be the one to find it!

Well, needless to say, that didn't happen, and as I reached my pre-teen years I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and found out that, well, finding a Ring of Power might not be the best thing to happen after all. Still, Green Lantern was cool, so here he is.

Now that I think about it, perhaps that's why I've never liked the color yellow. Hmmm ...

Egg-Man and Bat Boy

Everyone at the CoDBoards forums knows that Midnight Rider carries a bat ... or two. It's the kind of inside joke that will have you shaking your head right now if you don't know what I'm talkin' about, and chances are pretty good that ya don't. That's ok, it's not that important. Suffice to say, if MR were a superhero, he'd still be carrying that bat, so I decided to illustrate it. Unfortunately, MR is relegated to "sidekick" status, because even with the bat he isn't as awesome as the mighty Egg-Man. Then again, who is?
