Len Barboza - Green Lantern Shinji Jordan

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.

Emerald Genesis Poster

This is a poster to promote the fan fiction that ClassicCowboy and I have been writing together: a fusion story of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Green Lantern.

The premise of it is that Shinji was abandoned but instead of being raised in Japan he was sent to America and was raised by Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris. This basically made Shinji into a very different individual. He’s not the weak-willed individual from the original. Instead, he’s a confident and rather assertive individual.

However, this doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have challenges. Only this time the challenges are going to be very different. Especially when Hal gives him the Power Ring and Shinji must not only pilot the Eva but also wield the Green Lantern’s ring against the Angels.

Then the question becomes if he can keep this a secret for long from those around him. In particular, Gendo Ikari and Seelee who have taken an interest in the Emerald Power.

Green Lantern - Shinji Jordan

This is a fan art in promotion of a fan fiction that will be coming up fairly soon. A fusion story of Green Lantern and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

To read the story go here -> Emerald Genesis  
To give you an idea of why I stress the idea of “read the description” is often I run into people, especially on DeviantArt, who can’t seem to follow this simple instruction. 
Here’s an Example:
lostsoldierS636:  Hell no. HELL NO!!! HE DOES NOT I REPEAT NOT BELONG WITH THE GREEN LANTERN CORP!! HE SHOULD BE APART OF… I DUNNO WHAT BUT HE DOES NOT I REPEAT AGAIN NOT BELONG WITH THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

StarDragon77: Did you read the description?

lostsoldierS636:  No but still it is THE WORST IDEA FOR A DRAWING IVE EVER SEEN!!
StarDragon77:   Then you don’t know the context of the story for the picture. So therefore all you did was jump to your own conclusions.

This is why I had put up the notice of “Read the description”. *shakes head* But nobody does.
lostsoldierS636:  I dont really care what the story is, its just that Shinji is a complete p@$$^ and would never be granted the MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IN THE FREAKING UNIVERSE
StarDragon77:  You’re still missing the point, in this version Shinji isn’t a complete wuss. And if you took the time to read that you’d have found that out.
lostsoldierS636:  fine
StarDragon77:  For one, in this story, Shinji Ikari isn’t raised by his teacher as in the original. Instead, he’s adopted by Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris. And so he’s grown up to very a very different individual from what we’ve seen in canon. In this version he’s a lot more confident and also a little sarcastic.
lostsoldierS636:  Give me the link and i’ll give you some feed back. P.S. Asuka either is or should be a Red Lantern
StarDragon77:  I think that part is obvious, right?

As for the link to the story, here it is: [link]

ClassicCowboy is my co-writer.
lostsoldierS636:  Well shiiit. That was actually pretty good. It’s amazing actually, just get them out faster.
StarDragon77:  In that case, have I convinced you of Shinji being a Green Lantern?
lostsoldierS636:  Shiiiit. Fine fine I’m convinced. But a few questions 1. Why does Carol have to mention the fan service and crap, couldn’t that be done by someone else? Second, Carol would never do that also why haven’t you mentioned that Carol happens to be a STAR SAPPHIRE!!! Have you read Blackest Night, if you have thank you but if not, for shame. Any way I’m convinced, by the way if a Lantern is killed, the ring goes to someone else, Hal’s still alive so why did he give the ring to Shinji? He’d have to make a copy of the ring in order for that to work, besides you also have Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, and John Stewart as lanterns as the same sector Hal is. Just bringing that up so yeah I’m convinced.
StarDragon77:  All will be answered in due time.

Len Barboza - Edward Elric 4th Year Gryffindor

This is a lineart that I had colored and had commissioned of aquarina-chan.

This is essentially a redux of a previous picture I did, Edward Elric 4th Year Gryffindor

I know that there are some people who are going to give arguments about how Edward Elric should be in whatever house that they are more included towards but hey leave the arguments outside.

Also if you liked this picture then have a look at the fan fiction where Edward Elric goes to Hogwarts: Fullmetal Alchemist and the Crimson Stone

Kay-sama - Black Lantern Kaworu Nagisa

This was a commission that was drawn by Kay-Sama (Miles Yagami) and colored by me.

Here’s the original:  Kaworu: Black Lantern

The idea I had behind this is that it would help promote a fan fiction that I am co-writing with ClassicCowboy called “Emerald Genesis”. Within that story there would be Shinji Jordan (raised by Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris) and he comes back to Japan at the behest of Gendo Ikari but before he comes back, his father, Hal Jordan, gives him a very special gift that he only tells Shinji that he’ll know when the time comes to use it.

As you can see in this setup, Kaworu has been resurrected and been brought back as a Black Lantern. In the idea that I had been bouncing around with Kay-sama is the idea that the way that Kaworu died is that his head was cut off so I figured that if it were reattached there would be a great scar running around his neck.

The only real tricky part was coloring the plugsuit because from what I’ve seen of Black Lanterns their suits are in black and the various shades of it. So I had made it in the same scheme as the original suit but in different colors that would be appropriate for the Black Lantern corps.

Now that this is done it is time for the Black Lantern oath:

The Blackest Night falls from the skies.

The darkness grows as all light dies.

We crave your hearts and your demise.

By my black hand, the dead shall rise!

Evangelion Voltron

This is a logo that I designed with my friend ClassicCowboy for his crossover fic Neon Genesis Voltron

The basic idea behind this was to blend the logos of both Voltron and Eva. Or in this case the royal crest and the Nerv logo. In blending the two together I had tried to think of a way to morph the slogan for Nerv so that would fit in with the Voltron fic. Originally, the slogan “God’s in his heaven and all is right with the world” was from a Robert Frost poem so after talking with ClassicCowboy we came up with “God’s in his heaven, Voltron’s on Earth, and all is well in the Universe.”

The reason why I made two versions is because I wanted to make another nod to the Evangelion universe where one of the logos there is red against a black background.

Spiritto - Ron Stoppable Gift Art

This here was a gift art from Spiritto to me.  It was after I had created a stamp for her in honor of her artistic abilities.  And so in appreciation she asked if there was an art piece that she could do for me and immediately I thought of Ron Stoppable in a fan fiction that I had written with my good friend ClassicCowboy.  The fan fiction being called “The Kimmatrix” which is a fusion of Kim Possible and the Matrix.  If you’re interested in reading them I highly recommend them.

NinjaWithin - The Kimmatrix Illustration Chapter 02

This is an illustration drawn and colored by NinjaWithin for a fan fiction that I had written with ClassicCowboy.  The fan fiction blends “Kim Possible” and “the Matrix”.  The passage that this picture corresponds to follows:


“You’ll understand soon.” Morpheus said as he opened up the small box and allowed the contents to drop into his hand. He leaned forward with his fists clenched near his face, “This is your last chance. After this, there is no going back…” He said as his left hand opened, revealing two blue pills there that looked like those NyQuil gel-caps, “You take the blue pills, you will wake up in your respective beds and believe whatever you want to believe, though I feel you have not seen the last of the Agents.” He then opened his right hand and there were two red pills identical in every way except color those in his left hand, “You take the red pills and…”

“We stay in wonderland,” Ron uttered, “And you show us just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Uh…you know this is really getting annoying. And I feel a real migraine coming on. Well, what do you think, KP?”
