The idea isn't really anything exceptional, but everyone loves a good slime.
Slow to update. Finals are awesome

Still a lot of work to do, especially on the face and still nonexistent background. Scared about the color count, I always go overboard with faces. But one thing is certain: Guy Gardner is the best Green Lantern.

Edit:

Still so much work to do on the feet and probably also legs, dear god.

Edit 2:


Couldn't stand looking at his face anymore. I'm at 15 colors now.

Edit 3:


16! Here's hoping my plan for the background will work.

Edit 4:



Now, on to the background.
