When I draw superheroes, I tend to draw them the way they looked 20 years ago because I am, apparently, a fossil . However today, I'm taking a brief moment to step out of my horribly obsolete mindframe, and present to you the classic Green Lantern villain, Sinestro , in his modern uniform (even though you can only see the collar).

It started out as a quick pen sketch, but it grew on me, so I decided to color it up and post it. I chose to give him his present-day colors because frankly, it never made sense to me that a character who was yellow-themed would have virtually no yellow on his uniform whatsoever. The face is cut off because I wanted to show the duality of a former hero turned villain--the missing half of his face represents Sinestro's sense of morality, forever obfuscated by... OKAY, IT'S ALL A LIE. I drew him too close to the edge of the paper. Listen, if I had realized it was going to turn out halfway decent I would have started on a new sheet of paper. Sometimes these things take you by surprise!
