Masks Are Fashion, Masks Are Heroic - Green Lantern
This is the 12th entry that I've posted in the series featuring "red carpet" takes on superheroes in costume with masks to promote the pro-social & pro-health practice of mask wearing during a pandemic.
Jessica Cruz survived the murder of her friends in the woods on a camping trip but still had to deal with the trauma of that event. Despite that trauma, she managed to become a member of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic force that protects the galaxy and its various planets. (space police) Each Green Lantern has a ring whose power is fueled by the courage and will power of the ring bearer. The rings can allow their bearers to fly, shield them from almost anything, provide protection and air in outer space, shoot force beams, create constructs, and more. The rings have to recharge from a power battery that looks like a literal green lantern every so often.
A Green Lantern's costume is usually black, white, and green, but with this look, I wanted to focus on the light aspect of the character and leave out the black elements. Since light is such an important theme in the Green Lantern lore, I wanted to create a garment that was constantly shimmering in the light with all of the sparkles.
Thank you for taking the time to experience this piece.
