Day 15: Matter Eater Lad

I love the absurdity of some of the Silver Age characters, and that's no more prevalent than in the 60's Legion of Super Heroes. Matter Eater Lad had the power of super-eating. He could chomp and digest darn near anything because his stomach was essentially a nuclear reactor.

He's also an example of how the absurd can still work. In the 80's, he ate the Miracle Machine and went insane for a while. It was a cool scene in a more modern story using a character with a ridiculous power.

I'm starting to think about a second set of commands on my Nostromo for Photoshop. I will frequently ink the white highlight lines in a black field (like Matter Eaterr Lad's gloves) as black lines and then do a quick mask, select and invert them to white. I don't have that as a easy key commands yet. I'm thinking through having it be a second set because I think I use those commands when I'm in a different coloring mindset.

The Nostromo is becoming an extension of my process now. So, just about halfway through this project, it seems to be doing what I wanted it to.
