What is SUPERMODEL, you ask? Well, it's a new contest/challenge fanfic that I've come up with.
Basically, I've done some art and writing that tells the story of the search for the next great super powered female to be chosen as a pinup/cover model for Legion comics. She may be a hero, she may be a villain, but she must have a superpower. I call them SUPERMODELS.
Dream Girl acts as the host of the show. We have some very qualified judges. The contestants are all very different, very lovely. They will go through a series of pinup challenges. There will be eliminations after each challenge until the SUPERMODEL is named.
Sorry, it's not an interactive contest. The results have already been determined. But I ask that you sit back, relax, enjoy the show, and I hope to hear from you on this, the discussion thread.

Looks like fun, my money's on Drura.
Posted by superboymddjr on :
five? why not 10? 12? would love to see Charma and Calorie Queen in this contest. Perhaps next contest?
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Tamper Lad, Thanks for responding. Heh! Gambling on the results! That'd be fun! Anyone know how to set up a pool for that?
superboymddjr, Well, the truth is, in my original sketches and notes, I picked out ten contestants and came up with ten challenges. However, drawing even the stick figure-like sketches nearly broke my arm in the process. That's a *legion* of characters! (har har!) So, I narrowed it down to five so I can actually get this fun little project done. Hey, once we get to the winner of this one, it could be quite fun to have another one, with different characters. So I guess it's better not to use them all at once!

Great Caesar's Salad!
Five hot Legion women drawn by Sketchie in competition to serve as a Legion pinup cover?
This is like Christmas in August!

Go Infectious Lass!
Can't wait for the boy version featuring Dean's Mekt & Jungle King!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I think Rainbow Girl will be the dark horse contestant. Glorith is too old. Quicksand too exotic. Drura unfortunately is an aquired taste. Lamprey will be the winner.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
LOVE all the speculation! Thank you.
The first challenge will be done soon!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OOhhh Will one of the challenges be to babysit a group of toddlers with super-powers?
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
Can't wait to see what that hussy Saturn Girl and that Empress do to the women that don't meet their high expectations.
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Well I can see Saturn Girl as the Randy, Marta as the Paula, but would Empress be Simon? I think she'd just as well kill the contestants as judge them Posted by Sketch Lad on :
So, the first challenge has happened and we've had our first elimination.
I hope my characterization is working for everyone. I know not everyone is going to agree with every elimination, but, this time, the results are already determined.
Maybe next time I'll make the eliminations interactive.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Great first challenge. I am stunned that my choice for winner was the first rejected, but I have to agree with the judges.
I love the looks you are giving the judges..
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Oh, glad you like the judges! I actually considered not making those scenes part of this, but it was too fun to write/illustrate, so I made it happen.
Yeah, I knew that Lamprey was going to be eliminated when you predicted her as winner, so I felt a little guilty. That's gonna be half the fun, though, the wondering how each contestant will fare.
Thanks for responding! This is a fun (and rather time consuming) project for me, so I hope others enjoy it.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I am definitely enjoying it.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Indeed, me, too! I really like that Rainbow Girl, but nice job all around.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I thought Drura and Quicksand had the finest performances in the first round, and I'm guessing they'll be the two to beat.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
I fully support Rainbow Girl, of course.
(But secretly I like the judges the best! :MarteAllon:)
((Perhaps this will springboard Marte into graemlin fame!))

That picture turned out better than I'd hoped. Glad you like it!

I love this kind of response, where you sort of evaluate how they did.
Thanks, EDE!

Heh! Here's a little insider info...the judges get more fun as the contest moves along!
Thanks for responding. I was happy to see the replies tonight!! The next challenge will be posted soon.

Hi Sketch Lad.
Just read your Supermodel thread.
Funny and sexy....WOW!!
Keep up the good work.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Thanks DubDubSee!
The next challenge is almost ready to post!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
In fact, it's been posted. Hope the fans of the next reject aren't too hurt!
Let me know what you all think, eh?
Next, the top three....featuring a special guest judge!!!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Poor Rainbow Girl. Rejected yet again.
Quicksand is looking like the favorite of the judges in both challenges.
I still think one of the challenges has to be babysitting several super-powered tots.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Gotta hand this one to Glorith...someone appears to be nanoseconds away from being most painfully kneed.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I can't tell you how fun it is for me to work on this stuff and have you guys respond like this.
I'm very happy!!
Quis, In the next cycle of The Legionverse's Next Top Pin Up SUPERMODEL, I will have the contestants tending to several super powered tots! In fact, I have my handful of contestants waiting in the wings for their turn at this challenge, already!
TD, Heh! The Trapper has a lot of places where the sun don't shine!
Top Three Challenge will be ready in less time than the top four took. Naturally, I have less art to finish!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
And will we see a turn for the male Legionnaires?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Male Legionnaires taking care of super-tots! Perfect!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You know out of all the male legionnaires, I see Blok being the best babysitter.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Not just Legionnaires!
Dr. Gym'll wantsta Work It too.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
You guys are wacky!
I've posted the Top 3's challenge and elimination. We're getting close now!!!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
So we are down to Drura and Glorith. I know who MLLASh is rooting for.
So, you said you would use a baby-sitting challenge in the next go round. Will you also be doing an all male version? You do know Marla Latham had a good eye for boy candy. Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Hmm... I think Quicksand just had a bad round. A shame, since I think she did far better than Glorith in previous rounds.
Infectious Lass all the way!
(By the way, I like the idea of an interactive version next time around.)
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I'll be posting the Top 2's challenge very, very soon. It was great fun working on that one, I'll tell ya!
I do have the next Supermodel competition figured out, pretty much. But I also have another one that I really want to do, so I might do it instead. It'll be fun... I promise!
As for a men's challenge, well, I like to please the Denizen's of Legion World, so I'd be happy to work on that, but, it will have to be very interactive. I'll prepare the proper documentation and post the appropriate data when the women's round is done.
It's good to have a hobby!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Yes! Drura totally has this in the bag!
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
As fond as I am of Miz Drura, Glorith's had a pretty good showing here too....
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Ah! And now the winner is revealed!
And now perhaps someone should haul Sarya off to a Space-Bar or Space-Rehab (not sure which)
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
That Drura closeup is just stunning!
And the final pic is pretty groovy as well!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
...and this cycle of Legionverse's Next Top Pin Up SUPERMODEL comes to an end!!
It was great fun for me to put this together and I really appreciate all the responses.
Note to self...
Next time, have more wardrobe and/or hair/make-up changes for the judges. OR, have more/different judges come and go. I got *really* tired of coloring Marte Allon the same way page after page. Imra wasn't as tedious and the Empress was fun because she was so expressive. At least I broke up the monotony by adding Dawnstar for the FLIGHT challenge.
I have two more cycles already plotted out, but like I said, I will make an interactive contest for...
THE LEGIONVERSE'S NEXT TOP MALE PINUP SUPERMODEL!!!
Posted by Joe-Boy Harvestar on :
Yay Drura! I LOVE what you've done with the markings on her face Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
They all looked good, but I'm glad Drura won. For such a large galaxy to work with, it always seemed a pity that most of the Legion looked like regular humans. The exotic features add to Drura's beauty.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Thanks for the responses. I always thought Drura was so cool looking! I love drawing her, so it was easy to choose her as winner of my little story. Plus she's a crowd pleaser, here at LW.
Posted by MLLASH on :
YAY!!!
Dean has always had a knack for making Dru look absolutely incredible, and here he has outdone himself!
Dean feel free to "co-post" those Drura images to the all-Infectious Lass thread and hype your ongoing SUPERMODEL project (some of those LSH board-only posters may not know what they're missing over here in BITS)!
I love how Drura has never felt like a second-class character on Legion World.
Posted by PolarBoy on :
That was good and I liked the use of a wide selection of characters. Who is quicksand by the way?
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Thanks for the complient, PolarBoy! Quicksand was one of Pulsar Stargrave's flunkies. I LOVE her!
