Didn't sketch yesterday, nor the day before, and my drawing muscle was a bit stiff... I think the drawing muscle consists mostly of the "push through the intense fear the moment before one puts the implement to paper." I did the initial sketch for this piece while I was making dinner, and it took me two times of stopping in front of the mirror with my graphite and sketchbook, before I actually mad ea mark on the page. The "gulp!" stopped me. ONce I did get going, everything boiled over on the stove right when I was getting into it. (Hey, that's one of those "learn to concentrate" ideas I was going to focus
on for Nablomagogo... doing one thing at once... what a concept!)Anywhoo, after dinner and a visit to a friend's for Heroes (eeeek!) I came back and finished my drawing just now. I'm not sure which version I like best, so I'm posting them both. We'll see what the fresh morning eyes will see.

The top one somehow looks like you're an astronaut in a space suit. How can that not be cool? I love the ghosted lines of the initial outline too, though—very cool.
And the mask—SO great. Even some flora on it. Trés eco-friendly superhero.
Lord, I just used the word "cool" twice in my comment. Pathetic. It's time for bed.
Thanks! (that's all I got this minute. Vocabulary is shutting down, time to dock for the night. It is tres late....
