DC's Emotions Embodied

I noticed that a lot of people are not aware that there are other colour rings involved in DC Comics' Green Lantern Universe. So I thought I'd give you guys some information on it. Since Arckham already completed his collection of rings, this is a follow up.


Arckham's Emotional Spectrum Collection

So the rings are part of the something called "The Emotional Spectrum" which is how the Guardians of the Universe divided the different emotions into colour rings which represent a different emotion.

Let me introduce the Emotional Spectrum (plus their Oaths):

Red Ring- stands for Rage and is wielded by The Red Lantern Corps
which is led by Atrocitus










With blood and rage of crimson red,
Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,
We'll burn you all - That is your fate!




Orange Ring - stands for Avarice or Greed wielded by Larfleeze and he has no corps.











 He has no oath.





Yellow Ring - stands for Fear and is wielded by the Sinestro Corps
which is obviously led by Sinestro












 In blackest day, in brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light
Let those who try to stop what's right,
Burn like my power... Sinestro's might!




Green Ring - stands for Will and is wielded by the Green Lantern Corps
which is directed by the Guardians of the Universe.











In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power...Green Lantern's light!



Blue Ring - stands for Hope and is wielded by the Blue Lantern Corps
which is under Ganthet and Sayd former Guardians









In fearful day, in raging night
With strong heart full, our souls ignite
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright!



Indigo Ring - stands for Compassion and is wielded by the Indigo Tribe
which is so far being lead by Indigo-1









Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur
Natromo faan tornek wot ur
Ter lantern ker lo Abin Sur
Taan lek lek nok -- Formorrow Sur!
(No english translation)



Violet Ring - stands for Love and is wielded by the Star Sapphires which is lead
by Queen Aga'po of the Zamarons








For hearts long lost and full of fright
For those alone in blackest night
Accept our ring and join our fight
Love conquers all -- With violet light!




Alright that compromises the Spectrum, but as you might have noticed there is the last ring which is where the current arc, Blackest Night, is evolving.

Black Ring - stands for Death and is wielded by The Black Lantern Corps
which is owned by Nekron
















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!




There you have it, the Emotional Spectrum. Another tidbit before I end: the ring bearers recite their oaths to recharge their power rings.

One last thing I'd like to share:

WIP: 1/144 HG Virtue Gundam


Before the operation:
The Virtue was built nine months ago. The builder (moi) made a terrible noob mistake of using pylox paints. Since that day, this model started to chip and get ugly. Time for a new look.


This may or may not be close to what it'll look like by the time I'm done. I'm not really sure yet. I did all the GN condensers with a metallic neon green acrylic, otherwise known to my girlfriend as "apple green nail polish" (shown below). The condensers are the Exia parts that come with the 1/100 Astraea.


Here's the kit being taken apart. Already started scraping some paint off.


Milky. Acetone bath.


Me and Xy wnet out today and we did a little shopping for my Gunpla. A bottle of Tamiya cement, a tube of Tamiya putty basic type, a knife and some sandpaper. That knife's only 36 Pesos and it works like magic.


Pic of the first successful panel line scribed with the hobby knife. This is the first time I've done this and I'm really enjoying it.


I scraped off some plastic in some areas, widened and deepened panel lines, also scribed some horizontals. Pla plates? No. Lil's didn't have anything but 0.2 when I came earlier so no. Those plates are from the sprues! XD
The knife did its job again and I scraped off the Japanese writing on that XD


The left one only has drawn lines as guide. The right one's already modified by a little bit with the horizontals.


First attempt at making panel lines. Good thing I bought putty.


In gunmetal.


Clutter.


Sitting on Optimus.


What's awesome with gunmetal is black Gundam Markers work on it.


Fixed failure! XD

Suggestions are welcome XD

In Brightest Day. In Blackest Night.

Over the past few weeks, releases of DC's Blackest Night came with rings from different lantern corps. The Black Lantern ring came out a few months earlier, and the colored ones came out in two's every week this November. Just last week, I finally had the last two, the red and the green.

So, picture.

A little bright for Sinestro.
