Description
My first Green Lantern cover.I'm surprised it's already posted online since I only just finished it late last week. My editor asked me to paint a Zodiac wheel riff where all the Lantern Entities encircle the White Lantern Battery in the center. ROYGBIV to the max.

Nice use of symmetry. The characters are very well rendered.

Despite the opinions of others this is a masterful piece. The choice to use Hal instead of Ion was a good one.

Looks great! Is there a conceptual reason you chose to draw Hal instead of Ion for willpower?

Thanks! Maybe should have used Ion but I wanted a human face to connect with. Plus it draws your eye to that area.

awesome work really you have a great talent, i only have one question why did you use hal to represent will as apposed to Ion?

AlexGarner In reply to krautbuster [2012-04-25 17:34:13 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! That was my call. If it was ION, there wouldn't be a focus to the cover and I wanted some connection to the title character. Plus, it was my first chance to paint Hal.

WOW! I like how only Hal looks normal compared to the others, incredible. The rest look amazing and somewhat terrifying. Looknig at Hal makes me think he sort of wards them off or something. Really nice work, tough!

That was my decision and the editor backed me up. I just felt like the star should be on the cover of his own book. Maybe it should have been ION but I stand by it.

I agree with you on this decision, it actuatley makes it look alot better then just haveing Ion up. Adds that awesomeness GL ring slingin time feel to it. Considering it IS Green Lantern, the star should always be SOMEWHERE on the cover.

Kickass Hal, Alex.
But man am I behind on my GL. I have no idea what the White Battery is.

This is fantastic! Especially the red and violet ones at the top - they look like holograms. Nice one!

Nice cover. Is it just me or does the Hope entity look like it could be Starro's cousin.

Gotta love Hal and the others! I love the detail you used and the color effects of the different Lantern Corps in this! Awesome pic! I love it! As I've slowly begun to get back into Western comics, The Green Lantern is one of my top ones to start reading again! Keep up the good work

I just got into reading the Green Lantern comics a few months back thanks to a classmate, and the series is awesome. Is the Indigo/Compassion entity a giant octopus?
The Violet/Love entity scares the bejesus out of me, though.
