Have I *never* done a picture of your LMB character(s)? I would be happy to right this wrong!
What does your character look like? What should be happening in your picture? Be specific.
This offer is for the needy... not the greedy.
Love!
Posted by cleome on :
I should look like this, but maybe in a minimalist super-hero costume. Sort of like the late Seventies version of Black Widow.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
So, you are a plant? In a costume? Or are you a human, in an outfit that evokes the flower?
If you are a human, what should your humanly features be like?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Honestly, Sketchy, I don't think you ever have drawn Rocky. Joeboy, Lash and Cru have, but I don't think he's ever gotten the Sketch treatment. No one has ever drawn Time-Teller Lad that I'm aware. If it's all right with you, I'll PM you details for both later.
Thank you very much for this and your offer to help with the graphics of the LMB Wiki project.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Yeah, I knew I'd never drawn Rocky. Also, has there ever been an LMB portrait of Set or rickshaw? I'd be happy to do them.
I don't know who Time-Teller Lad is, but I'd be happy to draw him. I'll look forward to the message.
Posted by Dev Em on :
I think you drew Dev once in the group portrait way back when.
He's going to be evolving in the next few stories, I will send you some details in the next few days.

I'm thinking that I should have a humanoid body --of the "average" female variety, but that my head should be the spider lily/cleome's head.
Of course, the cleome flower's shape can be easily simplified to just be dots and lines, sort of. Or I could have a human's head, but the cleome-flower shapes could form the hair. Or I could even have a semi-human form, but with plant-like limbs. Lotsa' options.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Time-Teller Lad is my alt. He's sort of Rockhopper Lad's sidekick. I'll be heading out for dinner shortly, so I'll send you the details later this evening.
Thanks again! Posted by Sketch Lad on :

Naturally, ALL of the above options shall be your regular look! There's this character in this web comic I illustrate... he's called Overthink... and his techy stuff on his uniform is constantly changing, apparently adapting to what's going on around him. It's a fun visual to depict. IDK if you've heard of the web comic.... Starsearchers. Anyway, your character can be like that. (Ahem! Plug? What plug?)
So, is your character called Cleome Girl? Lass?Queen? Spider Lily? Spider Lily Lady? All of the above?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
I've never had my picture done. Lemme think about how I want it, and I'll let you know.
Posted by Emily Sivana on :
I'm relatively new, so neither Red Arrow or Question Kid have formal pictures. Red Arrow would be rather easy to do, but Question Lad is harder for me to decide how he would look. His personality has really grown over time, but his main influences are classic Rogue (his powers) and stuff by Ditko/Moore (his name).

I think just "cleome" is okay. If that means a "c" logo worked into the costume somewhere, so much the better. Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Sketch is done. "C" logo easily/readily worked in. Scanning, colors and posting later!
Posted by cleome on :
That's really sweet of you, Sketchy.
You should look at my flickr page and let me know if you'd like an art card. (They're kind of... odd, usually, but you might see something you like.)

Posted by Chief Lardy on :
I can't remember if you ever did an individual portrait of Lardy, Dean. I know you were the first to ever draw him as part of the original LMB portrait, of course. A few good drawings of him exist by others, so it's probably not a priority.
A few of my characters that I don't believe have ever been portrayed:
Hot Chick (see Phoebe Cates in famous scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High but with a more costumey-motif to her bikini)
Mordra (dark hair, dark eyes, pure malevalence)
Dru/Whordru (a hot female daughter of Mordru with platinum, flowing hair--had a beard while in her Whordru phase, heroic and beardless as Dru)
Clive/Virgin Lad (teenage version of Lard Lad)
Dark Lard (malevalent, darkly-clothed version of Lardy)
Dazzle Lass (beautiful, innocent blonde with modest light powers)
I think you've drawn Hummer Lass before, so a link would be spiffy.
Just some suggestions. Don't feel obligated.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Here's Dev-Em as of now. Daxamite/Durlan, so his costume is sorta Mon-El sorta Cham. Posted by Sketch Lad on :

Rockhopper Lad...

That's it for now... more later.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Wow, incredible as always, Dean! I can't wait to see you do others!
Cleome's portrait (and seeing her LMB character for the first time) totally just blew my mind! I love it! Far out! Hilarious and alien at the same time!
You've done Cobie naturally (and what a handsome, leading man portrait it was).
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Sarcasm Kid... Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Cobie, thank you! I just saw that LMB 80 page giant recently, where Cobalt Kid, Sketch Lad and Leap Year Lass faced Scheme Girl! So fun. I'd forgotten all about it.

WOW!!!
You are truly amazing!
These are wonderful, I love the fierce attitude that Rockhopper has!

Your art just blows my mind, Sketchy. So good.
If you're offering, I'd love to see your rendition of my character. Easy reference: he looks just like my avatar. A very short, dead-end kid in a suit, with a smoke. The type of person for whom the phrase, "Saaaaay... what's the big idea?" just flows naturally.

Red Arrow (Emily Sivana) is female. Her costume would be very standard as she is a descendent of Roy Harper and Donna Troy. She has alot of super-heroes and super-villains in her bloodline so I can suggest alternatives if you can't decide which style is best.
I picture Simon Woods playing Question Lad in a life-aciton version: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/events/AGM-003746.jpg Question Lad has classic Rogue's powerset, so don't show too much skin.Definitely keep the colors to a minimal. I feel orange, yellow, and black work best for Sebastian. I really liked X-Men Evolution as a child and the costume styling would carry over well for his personality. Maybe this site will give you some ideas: http://evolution.eracerx.com/gallery.php?EpisodeNum=1&size=320
Both of my characters are my real age (19).

It was a pleasure to come here and see all the nice messages! Thank you!
This is my current to do list:
to post- Time-Teller Lad
need to be penciled- evolved Dev Em lancesrealm Power Boy Dark Lard Dazzle Lass Exnihil
penciled, need to be colored- Question Lad Red Arrow
If your character's name is not on the above list, a drawing will not be happening, at my discretion. I am still considering requests though, and am awaiting some descriptions.

Cleome totally cracks me up...
Posted by SharkLad on :
Beautiful work! I've always loved the drawing of SharkLad from the original LMBP portrait...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I think a new SharkLad picture would be a good thing.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Time-Teller Lad Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Dean, one of my longtime Alt IDs that actually just died in story is Sir Roy. If you got the chance, I'd love it if you did a portrait of him!
His basic look is that he is a Knight of Legion World, complete with armor & sword. He has nothing covering his face, however. His avatar is usually Ultra Boy with Chris Sprouse hair & a five o'clock shadow, so something along those lines. He's handsome but has a tired, battle-tesed look about him. The color scheme in my mind is a mix of brown, red & blue but there is a lot of leeway there.
Thanks!

Ral, of course, is a bit of a star around here. He was a competitor in the second Pinup Models, Inc. production.

Posted by Sketch Lad on :

LOVE your Mordra! Bit different from what I expected, but totally appropriate!
Your Rocky, though, absolutely takes the cake, Dean! Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Thanks, Lardy. I'm quite happy with the Rocky design.
What did you expect of Mordra?
Posted by Chief Lardy on :
Hm. I always envisioned her with black hair, I guess. And the dress is a little less costume-y than what I anticipated, but she's really growing on me more and more each time I look at it. The malevalence is there and nicely understated. Really, based on what little I gave you, it's quite remarkable! Very well done and with a ton of character to it!
Posted by Chief Lardy on :
I would also be interested in seeing your take on Bat-Fem if you are interested. Here's Joe-Boy's take on her. There have been two Bat-Fems, so if you decided to draw her, it could be for Bat-Fem II. Could be a different challenge for you, as I haven't seen your take on 20th century DCU motifs too often. Just a thought, though.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I'm glad you like her look. Darkening her hair is super easy to do. (Hah! It's what I do!)
Bat-Fem II sounds interesting. I could add her to the list. Speaking of which, I'll update the list and do some more character drawings soon.

designs established, need to pencil: Dev Em lancesrealm Power Boy Exnihil Shark Lad Sir Roy

Decision: I would be happy to do a Lard Lad and Dark Lard image, but all the other characters from the Lardverse are overwhelming me. What should Lardy and Dark Lardy look like?
Posted by Emily Sivana on :
I think a question mark is in order because of Legion's use of symbols. However, think more of X-Men costumes or even the small symbols the Watchmen had rather than the huge Superman-style logo.

I really don't need a Lardy drawing...there have been plenty done with him, really. As for Dark Lard, this is the avatar I used when I was posting as Dark Lard for a while:
The source character was one called Justice who Peter David wrote for the New Universe line ages ago. Note the white hair, white featureless eyes and facial scars. Costumewise, think dark purple or maroon colors and a trenchcoat instead of a cape. This guy should look run-for-your-life dangerous, but still somehow evoke the Lardy we all know and love (?).
But please don't feel overwhelmed by my requests. You already did Mordra. I think the only other ones you committed to were possibly Bat-Fem, Dazzle Lass and Dark Lard. Feel free to drop any or all if it's too much. I'll survive! Posted by Exnihil on :

He's a lot less 'Lad' and a lot more 'freakout', to me. Sharks with hands and opposible thumbs are absolutely terrifying! Not to mention that he's standing on land.

The background was snagged off the net, and slightly manipulated to fit, so I can't take credit for that. I would have rendered my own, but I really liked what I found.

Speaking of nailing Sir Roy... yeah... that's nice...! Posted by Exnihil on :
Very nice work on both. Maybe it's a combination of the moustasche and the jawline, but the "Lance" pic just shouts "virility." I would not be at all surprised to find that he wears Old Spice.
I do have a question on Sir Roy (which might be a little awkward given Lash's comment ), but there is something in the eyebrows and the hairline that makes me have to ask: Sketchy... did you use a photo of yourself as the reference on that one?
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
lancesrealm, I'm glad you like your character's portrait. The jacket and the creature at your side were both inspired by the character you mentioned when you gave me descriptions. It'll come to you.....
Thanks everyone for the comments about these. They are a lot of fun for me. I think of myself as an "okay" costume designer. I think I would be a good part of a team, when it comes to character design.
Exhinil, your question kinda cracks me up... but no, I didn't use any reference. Cobie said that he has a sort of Jo Nah look, so I went for that. Now I'm just all flattered that you would ask that... smiley smile smiles (Yeah, I'm 44, trying to get in shape, and I will take any compliment from anyone anytime right now!)

Ha! I didn't get it until you pointed it out. Just to let others in on the gag, I told Sketchy that I resembled Captain Kangaroo. (Not as old, not as portly, but with a mustache and a roundish face.) Um...does that mean the thing with me is a kind of Mr. Moose? Maybe I should be looking out for a rain of ping pong balls...

Posted by Abin Quank on :
Sketchy, I know I'm asking a lot so feel free to decline if it's more than you can comfortably commit to but I'd love to see your take on the Quank Clan. Use their avitars as a starting point, but I'd really like to see your version rather than an update of someone else's drawing.
Abin Quank, Space Ranger, Everyday Girl, Pagan Lass, Stoopid Cat, & Sam Pureheart.
Zardi the Eternal Man would be a nice bonus.
Just some notes:
Abin should not be in peak physical condition, he's older and never was much of a fitness buff to start with.
Everyday girl shouldn't be overly busty, She's built more along the lines of a gymnast.
Pagan Lass in ghostly form would be a nice touch.
