Morning sketch: GREEN LANTERN! I was looking at the markers, and hadn’t used the greens much. So Hal Jordan time! Also playing around with a way to handle the boxing glove ring construct with the markers, with a little extra white thrown in.

Little help? I’m taking a poll. I’m considering revisiting this DAREDEVIL piece to darken it up (as I did with a filter on the 2nd image). I might’ve been too tentative on the first, and darker is more dramatic. Which do you prefer?

THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE. Last night’s Halloween watch. 70s haunted house movie; couldn’t find it streaming. A little dated but a Richard Matheson story. He wrote some of the best Twilight Zones.

FROG! Here’s a fun one. Remark in a copy of NED Lord of the Pit for POP’S CULTURE SHOPPE in Wellsboro PA. They’re carrying both vol 1 & 2. (Show them some love.) They requested a frog reading a book. I chose WIND IN THE WILLOWS.

Morning sketch: GREEN GOBLIN! I started this as a prelim study for a larger color piece, but I’ve been wanting to do something in grayscale. Like most of these, I never know how it’s turned out until I put in the blacks. I think it holds up OK.
