Day 77

So another St. Patrick's Day has come and gone, but GREEN Week continues! And here we have Britt Reid, newspaper publisher by day, but by night he is the Green Hornet! The character has been pretty popular since the days of World War II, and now they're making a movie starring Seth Rogen of all people. Should be interesting to see how that turns out. So that's today's GREEN entry. Stay tuned for more tomorrow.

Day 76

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

Yup, this is why I decided to go with GREEN Week: because it coincides with St. Patty's Day. So what do I do to celebrate this occasion? Draw a picture of course! But not just any picture; I have to draw something that screams Irish. Originally I was going to draw Banshee from the X-Men, drunk on Irish whiskey, wearing a leprechaun hat and singinig "Oh Danny Boy!" But I'm not one to promote stereotypes, no matter how funny they are. So I then I came across this obscure Marvel heroine named Shamrock!

Shamrock (secret identity Molly Fitzgerald) is possessed with the spirits of people were were victims of wars. Said spirits are able to manifest themselves as poltergeists and thus affect her probablity within 20 feet of her. Thus giving her the "Luck of the Irish." Yeah, perhaps it is stereotypical, now that I think about it. Then again, it's not as pejorative as my original Banshee idea. And look! I even have sitting on a pot of gold. Again, perhaps stereotypical, but it could also work considering what her powers are!

Anywho, hope you all have a safe holiday today! But GREEN week isn't over yet! Stay tuned to see what else I come up with!

Day 75

GREEN Week continues with the Green Lantern. Now you're probably saying, "But Lew! You already drew the Green Lantern!" Well, it's true. I drew A Green Lantern. This time I went with the original GL, Alan Scott. I haven't read much GL comics lately, and I certainly don't know much about titles like Blackest Night. I guess I'll just wait fro the trades. Anyway, tomorrow is a special day for GREEN Week! What will I draw next?

Day 74

Today begins GREEN week, in which I draw characters with the word GREEN in their names or who's primary color in their outfits are GREEN. And to demonstrate this, I will be coloring all the pictures with shades of GREEN all week long. So let's get things started, shall we?

Here is the first entry of GREEN Week. It's none other than Green Arrow! Pretty straight forward, no? I must say though I'm not too thrilled about what they're doing with him these days, especially after the events of Cry for Justice. Just my opinion anyway. So what other GREEN things will I have this week? Stay tuned to find out!

LEW!

Day 73

You all didn't think I'd have a Supervillains Week without having Doctor Doom, did you? Of course not! But I felt I'd save the best for last, and so here it is. The Lord of Latvaria himself! I went with the classic pose of him holding out his hand as if he was crushing air. That's the Doom I know and love, and you probably do too! And thus concludes Supervillains Week. Tomorrow begins GREEN week, in which I draw characters that have "Green" in their name or wear primarily green costumes. So stick around for that!

LEW!

Day 72

Supervillains Week entry 6; Mr. Freeze! I modeled him more after the Freeze from the animated series, not the Arnold Schwarzenegger abomination from the Batman and Robin movie. So yeah...that means we only have one more Supervillain to go. Who will it be? Tune in for the thrilling conclusion! Same LEW! time! Same LEW! Blog!

LEW!

Day 71

This entry in Supervillains Week is the Red Skull, the archenemy of Captain America. There is some buzz going around now that Hugo Weaving is going to play him in the Captain America movie. I think that's an excellent choice personally. Now if we can get a decent Cap! I thought Jon Krasinski would've been pretty cool, but apparently he's out. Oh well. The search continues. Anywho, two more entries left in Supervillains Week. Who will they be?
