As a fan of the wonderful-yet-no-longer-produced “Green Lantern: The Animated Series”(GLTAS), I immensely enjoy the opportunity to draw characters from that programme in a number of submissions to “The Line It Is Drawn” (responding to Twitter suggestions from whom must be other fans of the series). This led to a number of GLTAS-related art commission requests from other fans of the programme (some of which have been featured in my “Unapologetic Zaree [戯絵]” series on this blog).
This piece pictured is a compilation of some of those works (with a little additional art for the front cover). Ever since parts of this piece was posted by Josh Keaton on his blog a few weeks ago, I have received a number of
questions (and some hate mail) about it. The intent was to create a facsimile
of the next DVD release if the series had continued for another season, but not
as a hoax to make people believe the show was being renewed (and my sincerest apologies to those who were inadvertently deceived). It was essentially
a “thank you” gift for certain GLTAS cast and crew members that were scheduled to attend the recent
WonderCon event in Anaheim, California -- with the message being along the lines
of “hopefully one day you’ll be able to share the stories you currently do not
have the chance to tell.”
Right now this is the closest I can show of the complete
piece, as I do not have the actual label art file at this time. While I did
create all of the artwork and indicia here in Japan, the label layout was put together and
printed by a friend of mine in the States (who also delivered the gifts and provided the above photo).
Enjoy. And please note that these labels are not real and these cases are empty -- for now.
