Celeste McCauley by
Gene Gonzales and
Simon Gough
During the "Five Years Later" timeline, Celeste McCauley aka Neon was a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes who had bonded with Green Lantern energy. She eventually lost her physical body to become a being of pure Green Lantern energy. Then, right around the time of Zero Hour, when the Legion of Super-Heroes was being affected by multiple time fluctuations, Celeste was transformed into a Darkstar. Gene Gonzales likes to draw Legion characters, and I like commissioning him to draw costumes and characters that he's never drawn before. So Darkstar Celeste seemed like a great choice! And Gene did an awesome job! I love the pose and the crackling energy, and I think that Gene did such a great job with his first drawing of a Darkstar uniform. I sent the drawing over to coloring wizard extraordinaire Simon Gough and like always, he made it look even better! The energy effects and the starry background are incredible, but I also want to point out how Simon added color shading to Celeste's face that really enhances the character. As usual, my hat is off to both Gene and Simon!
If you like this piece, then please do go buy some digital comics featuring Gene's work and/or go commission him yourself.
