The basic costume looks good to me!

I think it’d be hard to make it feel appropriate without a tech / sci-fi edge. In other words, it’d be hard to convince a modern audience that quasi-omnipotent beings would issue simple spandex, or even plain leather (i.e. X-men) suits to their elite space police force.

Yeah, sure the whole ring thing requires some suspension of disbelief anyway, but since it’s kind of the heart of GL, let’s give’em that one and tone it up a bit from there.

A few comments:

The eyes are “whiter,” but there are green pupils in there.

Nitpick #1: Yep, the mask shape is a little off - not because it doesn’t match the comics 100%, but because it looks a little funky on Reynolds’ face.

Nitpick #2: I was kind of looking forward to a modern, but more Hal-esque, parted on the side, hair style. There’s something about Hal’s hair and the way many artists draw it to move / flow as he’s flying. It’s always seemed a good outward match the freedom of Hal’s inner spirit. It’s iconic to me in the way that Superman has his spit-curl and Batgirl has her red hair. Ah, well. …Yeah, I know it sounds dumb.
