Len Barboza - Green Lantern Shinji Jordan
🕑 Added 2020-05-09 05:22:20 +0000 UTC This is the colored lineart of Green LanternShinji Jordan that was drawn for my by Len Barboza
Some of you may already know of the other works that were done in this particular vein of Shinji as a Green Lantern for a fan fiction that ClassicCowboy and I are working on.
In doing this one, I decided to try to rework the coloring of Shinji’s Green Lantern uniform. I drew inspiration, or a template if you will, from Hal Jordan’s uniform. Namely how it has green around the torso, shoulders and boots, while everything else is black and his gloves were white. Which seems appropriate given how in the context of the story for which this picture is based, “Emerald Genesis”, Hal Jordan is Shinji’s adoptive father.
For the background, what I did was I found pictures of the hallways of NERV headquarters within the context of the Evangelion series. Using the colors from that, I used an airbrush tool and a little blurring method and that created the background you see here. I also followed the advice of S2X who advised that I should blur the entire background just a little bit. In trying this out, I found out that by doing it, it gives a greater sense of depth perception. Such as how the character in the foreground is in focus while everything else is a little blurred. Without this, things tend to look a little too flat and with the lines and colors that I used it’d distract too much from the character himself.
Thanks to all my friends and collaborators who helped out on this one.
