I was really in the mood to photomanip this weekend so I thought I'd start playing around with the Wak (Waid/Kitson) Legion of Super-Heroes. Here's Elizabeth Bogush (The Mountain) as Light Lass (at least that's what I think her name is - did Barry confirm that one?). I wanted to incorporate the new 'indie rock' youth movement theme so I think I'm gonna keep this style for my new series of photomanips. Stay tuned for more! Rock on
PS - Suggestions for who next to do? I was thinking Cosmic Boy and I know MissT was rootin' for Princess Projectra from me...

I was supposed to work on my Halloween costume tonight but I felt like manipping instead so here's Matt Long (Jack & Bobby) as the WaK era Cosmic Boy! Casting suggestions for the rest of the newly designed Legionnaires?

WOW!
Posted by Myriad on :
Gary, you realize Mondo Joe and M-E Lad are going to make me pop a blood vessel with their beautiful manips.
Oh, and MELad - How about Jessica Simpson as Princess Projectra? Posted by Lady Crujectra on :
I don't really see Jessica as having the regal beauty of Projectra. I don't really have any better suggestions, though
That Cosmic Boy RAWKS! Probably the best Cos I've seen thus far!
Posted by joe mondo on :
Beauty-full! Especially great Cos.
Posted by RTVU2 on :
Cosmic Boy rocks!
how about...
ryan phillipe as Element Lad?
Resses Witherspoon as Jeckie or Saturn Girl?
the main girl from Lost as PG?
Chris Carmack(Luke from OC) as Sun Boy/Lighting Lad?
Taye Diggs as Star Boy?
The main kid from life as we know it as Ultra Boy? (the young tom cruise kid)
Posted by RTVU2 on :
just though of more....
Kate Bosworth (the Crush, date Tad Hamilton) as Dream Girl?
Josh Duhamel(Tad Hamilton, Las Vegas) as Ultra Boy
Gardner Boy from DHW as Lyle.
Posted by knowjack on :
WOW those are great--as usual!
How about Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill) as Sun Boy?
Anne Hathaway (Princess Diaries) as Phantom Girl?
Rachel Bilson (The OC) as Violet?
Scarlett Johannson as Projectra?
Usher as Star Boy?
Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) as Dream Girl?
Maggie Grace (Lost) as Saturn Girl?
Posted by Myriad on :
Gardner Boy from DHW is better known as Jesse Metcalfe and I think his olive skin would be better suited for Kitson's new take on Karate Kid.
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Some great casting choices, thanks! I'll definitely be using some of them though since we don't have clear previews/views of all the costumes yet, I may have to hold off on some of them, you know? All in good time Posted by the boy with UltraPowers on :
hey MELad !!!
these are amazing as always !!! can't wait to see ULTRA BOY and all of the other LEGIONNAIRES !!!
i'll have to have a good think about casting choices ......
Matthew.

good choice for UB !! although i see Josh, as an older version of Jo !!
Matthew.
Posted by the boy with UltraPowers on :
hey MELad !!
Katie Holmes or Neve Campbell would good for PHANTOM GIRL ....
Matthew.
Posted by Greybird on :
You spin out more art from a shadowy introductory page, in the published Titans Special, than I think Barry Kitson himself might have thought he had in him. I especially like Ayla's plucky confidence.
(Let's hope they live up to the substance MELad is doing for these characters, including calling her "Ayla" and giving her an elegant neck *sigh*)
Posted by Lady Crujectra on :
I think Kate (Underworld, Van Helsing) Beckinsale would make a great Shadow Lass.
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Dan Cudmore (Colossus from X2) as Colossal Boy (Micro Lad?)
[ September 10, 2006, 07:13 PM: Message edited by: Monkey Eater Lad ]
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Ohh...good choice for Colossal Boy (as well as the others).
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Who should I do next? I'm thinking of starting with the ones whose costumes / coloring we have seen most clearly. Since Joe Mondo's done a couple too already, maybe I should work on ones he hasn't done yet. Who does that leave? Hmmm...
Posted by the boy with UltraPowers on :
great pic MELad !!! is that DAN's real hair ??? because it looks just like BARRY's version !!!
can't wait to see more of them .....
Matthew.
Posted by DCBoy on :
I agree! Kate Beckingsale would be great! I've just discovered this site, but have yearned for a live action LEGION and/or JLA movie since I was a kid. Has there been any serious talk of either?

Posted by ferroboy on :
Wow, that is one hot pic, MEL. I'd like to see Lightning Lad.
BTW, DCBoy, glad you're posting. Be sure to check out your welcome thread on the Mission Monitor Board!
Oh, and Cru, since I said I'd remind you, I'll tell you now that Matthew posts have been sighted on (IIRC) MMB.

hey matty, no that's not dan's real hair - i custom make a digital toupee to resemble kitson's coiffure!
In one of the interviews really early on in this process somebody mentioned that Paul is still going to bat for a Legion cartoon. Nothing definite and I haven't heard anything since except that Steve was saying that there's a lot of interest in one lately. He said that so many of the creators and animators at the studios have come from comics backgrounds that there a lot of people in the right circles beginning to talk about it as a real possibility. Sweet.

Monkey Eater Lad ....greatworks!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to try!!!

From "life as we know it" Sean Faris as the Waid/Kitson era Ultra Boy!
RTVU2 gets credit for casting Sean for the role!
And the Legionworld Bits 'o Legionnaire EXCLUSIVE variant edition with our own boy with Ultra Powers!

Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
I noticed there weren't casting choices for Chameleon! Granted he's less humanoid but toss out your thoughts on who to use. Also Invisible Kid is looking pretty young so I'm open to suggestions of younger folks to use cause I don't know too many 14-15 year old actors. I saw Jake Lloyd as Comic-Con - he's looks about the right age. I dunno, do I need to start watching more Disney Channel and Nickelodeon?
Posted by RTVU2 on :
I was thinking, I did? Then I read my post again. I did!
It looks awesome MEL!
How about the lead actor from Phil From the Furture on Disney for Invisble Kid? Or the kid from that old ABC series Vertias.

Love the Cham MEL. Unfortunately I'm not too hot on the Garth. The face/hair doesn't really mesh well, for me. Looks like a bad toupe.
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Why Scott, I don't know what you mean?
Maybe hairclub for men?

HAH!!!!! MEL, you space rawk! I do like Chameleon. Excellent casting. It would be cool to see him or her without the antennae, so he or she would look more like he or she does in the book. Since we've only seen the new LL in a preview and on a cover, it's hard to tell what he's like, so it's hard to cast him. I'm not as displeased with your manip of him as Scott.
Posted by Sketch on :
Trump as Brande!!!!!
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
MTV3000 presents...Newlyweds with Dream Girl and Brainiac! Well maybe not exactly, but here Jessica Simpson as everyone's favorite Naltorian naughty girl:

Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Natalie Portman as PHANTOM GIRL!!!
I got a bunch of good suggestions for PG from you guys but I thought most of them were too old for our teen heroine from a different reality.
[ September 10, 2006, 07:17 PM: Message edited by: Monkey Eater Lad ]
Posted by High Priestess Viviane on :
Perfect choice, MEL, and excellent work!
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Thanks Hi-Pri! Some folks at a photomanip sight don't believed that's Natalie. They think its Summer from the o.c. or demi moore Posted by Sketch Lad on :
MEL, I can totally see that it's Natalie. Great job!
Posted by PolarBoy on :
Those are all really good you should definetly do Kylie Minogue as somebody. Comon you can never have too much Kylie.
Oh it's just me
Fine then
screw you all

Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Um PB, ain't Kylie like a bit old for Legion now ? Maybe she could be a Legionnaire's hot mom or something Posted by PolarBoy on :
You slagging off my woman!!!!!!

Hi Monkey-Eater Lad
Do you wanna be director? Coz i dont mind sharing...
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Ha ha, no DGA card for me, I'm fine as photomannipping best boy or key grip #2.
Since Maggie Grace is out of X3 as Shadowcat, I've decided to snap her up for Princess Projectra.

These are fantastic! Your Phantom Girl and Drean Girl are particularly memorable! I've always held Giffens 5 year gap Nura in mind so thought of someone more corvageous - your picture has totallly made me think differently, it's so good!
more, more, more!!!

Great job, MEL. I have three favorites: Cos, Phantom Girl and Projectra, great choices there. Dream Girl is also quite nice. Shady is probably the one I like the least.

I'm back from Mega Tokyo and wanted to post this piece that I didn't have time to upload before I left. Enjoy! Posted by Caliente on :
Ooh, MEL, I love it! She's so... Kara, somehow. Should I recognize her or is she just some model?
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
I dunno if you should recognize her either - I saw her in a trailer for the direct to dvd sequel of American Pie (Naked Mile) and thought she looked crazy familiar. Maybe she was like Veronica Mars' "special anorexic friend" or "mall girl #2" on the OC or something...
Posted by PolarBoy on :
these are all awsome great work.
since you didnt like the Kylie idea how about Jesse spencer (house) as elemental lad.
