I'm feeling all full of the LMBP right now, so I took a break from my Pinup Model projects and did a few portraits of...us!
When thinking about who I wanted to depict, I had several ideas, but acknowledging the founders HAD to happen. After all, there would be no Legion World to be thankful for if not for them.

I have 7 more pencilled, but I won't be able to color them until after this weekend.
So let me leave these portraits of Legion World's Founders as a Thanksgiving gift.
I love this place!

Wow, Dean! Those are perfect!
Thanks! Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Absolutely gorgeous Dean! Wow, utterly flattered. Makes me wish I still had my long hair and beard. Thanks!

Great work!!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Wow, thanks for all the nice words, everyone!
LL, I think I've seen a couple of pictures of you guys, so I just mixed what I recall of that with LL and SG from the books.
I do have a few more to scan and color, but I also have lots of Pinup Model stuff to work on as well. So little time, so much LW fun to have!

I chose to do this portrait of Thriftshop Debutante, because she is such great support for the Pinup Model challenges I can't seem to stop creating and posting here. Not only is Teeds a constant participant, but also a kind promoter of the games. Her opinions have become invaluable to me. Her kindness to me as the "Art Director" there is so appreciated.
Not only that, Teeds' posts throughout the rest of LW are just good entertainment.
Thank you, Thriftshop Debutante.... Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Love these! And that is the perfect color for fall (which Teeds already knew and predicted I'm sure).

Next is the Most Beloved of All Posters, MLLASH. To me, the LMB and LW would not be what they are without Lash. So much fun! So talented! A joy! Posted by Sketch Lad on :
So many clever posts. Such fun writing. So kind to me! Therefore, I had to include a portrait of EDE! Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Cobalt Kid has always been a key part of the LMB and LW. I have been amazed at the amount of work done to archive the timeline of this wild and crazy bunch! Cobes has always been cool to me, too. Posted by Vee on :
Another great effort Dean! This are terrific. Keep 'em coming!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Wonderful,Dean! Don't forget to do one of yourself!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Spellbinder has always been part of the LMBP as well, in some form or another. Always doing something for the group, like around here and at the Outpost and now the Directory. Plus, I'm a sucker for that image! Posted by Sketch Lad on :
From the first time I ever saw Joe-Boy's art, I was a fan, but I was blown away when he put together his Who's Who! Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Not only does Monkey Eater Lad create awesome photomanips of us and Legionnaires from the books, he also supplies wonderful drawings. His work as curator and manager of the Museum is much appreciated. Posted by Sketch Lad on :
*sketch*sketch*sketch*...all the time! Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Continually impressive! I'm loving them all Dean! I, of course, love the Cobalt Kid one--exactly as I see 'him'!
And Teeds looks like such a movie starlet that I can't help but smile!
Really, everyone looks great!
Posted by Caliente on :
Wow, Dean, you're really working overtime with the challenges and LW portraits!! I'm waaaay impressed. Especially with the Joe-Boy and Cobalt Kid ones. I know I've said it before but great, great stuff.
Posted by LARDLAD on :
Dean, these are terrific! Keep 'em coming!
Posted by Straya on :
Wow, these are cool! Very spontaneous and full of expression. If I may ask, about how long does it take to sketch and color each one?
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Thank you for the comments! I'll be taking a break from these for a bit, but it was something I felt I *had* to get done!
Straya, they're done embarrassingly quickly. I'll actually time myself next time I work on one and post the results.
Posted by knowjack on :
WOW, Dean--just, WOW.
Posted by Joe-Boy Harvestar on :
NEW AVATAR! wow thanks Dean! I love me!
Posted by MLLASH on :
Dean for the LMB monthly series!
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Hotness! Rocking hotness! And EDE's newsboy chapeau is scorchin'!

I've never seen these before! They're gorgeous. Love how warm all the colors are and the great reflection of personalities.
That Teeds portrait is the bees knees.
Posted by Chief Lardy on :
These are just gorgeous! I've seen some of these as avatars but never at full-size or in their entirety! Dean, you're so talented!
I remember that very first LMBP group pose you created many moons ago and that cover you did for my first ONEVISION which starred Cham. We're so lucky to have you as a part of our community! Posted by Dev Em on :
Bravo Dean...bravo!
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Check it out, I'm all Mission: Impossible.
Nighty's is the best, though.
Posted by Tempest on :
Sketch's art has always been a staple for me on LW. The two fit beautifully. These are awesome!
