Would anyone care to do a new drawing of Lardy that would serve as my new avatar? I absolutley love my current one, but Lardy's look has change quite a bit as the result of his epic fight against Mordru in "Smoke and Mirrors".
His hair and eyes have completely lost their pigment, so he now has white hair and solid white eyes. His hair is now more of a buzz cut and his beard is full, but neatly trimmed. He's still overweight, but not severely so.
He is now completely without the glasses and headband, and he's wearing a dark costume, a deep purple color with either a large cape or a cloak with a yellow or white "L" symbol on it. The boots and gloves should be the same color as the "L". Maybe the costume looks a little less spandex-y and more militaristic.
The overall effect is that now Lardy should look a little scary and imposing, but at the same time kind of sexy, somehow. His expression should be unreadable and definitely not smiling for the camera.

Actually, the more I think about it, Lardy looks a lot like Marvel's New Universe character Justice from the late '80s as he was reimagined early in that series by Peter David and Lee Weeks.
Justice was originally portrayed as a fantasy-type character, but when David and Weeks took over, that was shown to be a delusion. Justice was made over as a more gritty character, an ex-cop IIRC. Lardy looks a lot like him now, though he was beardless (though he may have sported a fashionable 5 o'clock shadow, perhaps).
I know this is obscure, but if a suitable image of this character can be found, I can use him as an avatar until someone redesigns Lardy.
