Great stuff Drake! I can't believe all the stuff I missed. And I've got to have a larger version of that Fatal Five, such a perfect pose for the villainous posse.

These illustrations are really great, Drake. You've certainly got a knack for detail. And personally, I don't think there's a thing wrong with your Saturn Girl sketch.

Let me just heap my praises over here with the rest.
I must say, I especially like the way you draw Thom. Not that I object to the slinkier artstyles found in the pages of the Legion, currently, but somewhere along the way people seem to have forgotten what a slab of beefcake he is!

Yes Nura! There have been some GREAT drawings on this board, each with their own Je n'ai sais quoi. Drake always finds that inner thing.

Thanks for posting these again Drake. I'd still like to see you do a full story. And I think you would have definitely been a contender in the CBR Comic Book Idol contest. I hope they hold another and you and Dean get a chance to enter.

Thanks Scott, but right now I spend enough time drawing to pay the bills that I can really only muster enough energy outside of work to draw the occassional stuff I post here.

Well, just so you know we do appreciate what you do get time for to share with us. And if you ever want to think about doing commissions like Dean is considering, I'll be first in line for a Garth print.

Here was my submission in the "create your own Legionnaire" thread: Minus Lad
Senn Pokka was handed over to his homeworld's military when he was five years old in return for governmental benefits for his family (as is traditional on his planet). Also traditional were the genetic treatments military personel undergo troughout their adolescence. In Pokka's case it didn't seem to take -- while he's still stronger and faster than normal human standards, he was a runt by military standards.
And then his powers developed. Pokka emits a field from his eyes that drains energy from anything around him. If someone were to enter this field for long enough, they'd die. The special goggles help direct and focus this field -- he can fire it like a ray which seems like a harmless red light beam, until the target begins to weaken. It takes several seconds for the beam to incapacitate a normal person, longer for someone who has powers. He can widen the field to drain energy attacks. The energy makes him stronger, tougher and faster for short periods.
The "G-1" insignia is his military ranking - the highest class for a field soldier which he is proud of because he had been taunted for being smaller and weaker for so long.
