Fanart Friday - Guy Gardner

Happy Valentine's Day. No couple art, but the subject has my heart anyway. 🥰

So I thought it might be nice to dedicate Fridays to fanart. Mine or someone else’s, though since this is the first one, it’ll be mine. If you haven’t looked, my current mascot is my favorite Green Lantern, Guy Gardner, so I’m going to share the full version of that picture here, as well as some practice sketches of the same dude at various ages. So— enjoy!

Baby Guy. Think like— Michigan freshman young. If you don’t want to cuddle him, I failed at art.
School Teacher Guy! Which would make him technically pre-Crisis, pre-GL, pre-Phantom Zone torture.
Older Guy! Like— only two people in the universe will get this, but thinkin’ Blue Lantern, probably around the time Rani’s graduating university. Look, just enjoy that smile and scruff, ‘cause I do!
The really big piece that took me about ten hours to paint. Mk III. (Rebirth/Stardust) Guy in LA, relaxing, no doubt after his girls made sure he was wearing ample sunscreen.
Closeup for your enjoyment. You’re welcome. XD

If you want your art shown here on Fanart Friday, hit me up! I’m all over the place: Reddit, Tumblr, Discord, like three different fanfic archives, e-mail, here on Substack— anyway, the point is, I’m happy to share my platform with people. So, don’t be shy!

Happy Friday!
