Dude, the best! The movie folk should have gone in this direction. It adds detail that expands on the idea of alien tech while remaining slick. Thumbs up!
Tech Lantern? Hmm, I like the reversal of the green and black elements of the costume, but I think the circuit patterns on the green imply Green Lantern’s powers are technology-based.
Of course GL is a Silver Age hero whose origins are somewhat based in science fiction. But this design seems positioned in defiance to the quasi-spiritual genesis of the Corps the Geoff Johns has established recently.
So, looking at the shadows, we have Flash, a Hawk(Girl or Man), and two mystery pieces. I’m guessing Manhunter and Zatanna, but it’s anybody’s call really!
Neat!
I like the basic design a lot, just the shape of the green glowing patterns seems a little arbitrary, it has no connection to the theme. I would also have done without the white boots, makes me think of the Saiyan white rubberboots they used to wear on Drangonball Z.
What I totally dig is the glowing edge on his domino mask! Now that’s what I call style!
Thanks so much for all the feedback, everyone! The TRON inspiration and infusion is indeed 100% deliberate, even if it might not make 100% sense. Just toying around with a (hopefully) fun idea. Actually kinda surprised that most of you are cool with it…
Ha! This is something that I really dig. I agree somewhat with the mask comment earlier – every green element on this suit has the tron patterns going through it, except for the mask. It seems like adding more glow elements to the mask might run the risk of making the design too busy, though, so I can see why this route makes sense. Love it!

/ August 18, 2010Very nice. Although, I will say the design on his torso makes it look a bit like he has Brainiac embedded in it. And he’s smiling. Which is creepy.

Maybe that was the point. Can’t be sure.

/ August 18, 2010Like this. Tron meets green lantern.
Alex
/ August 18, 2010I like the electronic/cybernetic look. I assume this GL is Hal? I think this look would better suit Kyle in continuity, but it’s still a cool design.

/ August 18, 2010You know, when they said that Ryan Reynolds’ GL costume would be computer-generated, I was hoping for something like this.
TRON LINES!

/ August 18, 2010Tremendous. Allow me to echo the sentiments of previous posters – I’d hoped (and assumed) a movie version would look something like this.
I really, really love that the white gloves have become a different hue of green, I think it works much better than the known and loved design there.

/ August 18, 2010Okay, that? Is cool.

/ August 18, 2010I have to say, I think this is my favorite of the P:R Invitationals so far. Great work!
Hoylus
/ August 19, 2010Had I thought of it earlier, I would’ve posted “Green Lantron”. Ah well.
jay
/ August 19, 2010Now we’re talkin’! This is great even with the “cartoony” style it’s drawn in. I would’ve liked to see an attempt at a redesigned mask though.
Hoylus
/ August 19, 2010A domino mask is pretty classic. There is a ‘light effect’ around it. For me, less is more.

@Hoylus – love the nickname Green Lantron. :)
