Okay... Here's thread three of Wayne's artwork.
The following are adaptations of famous comic covers using Legionnaires instead of the original cast members.

Again, they were done for an online e-rpg, so the costumes may look a little odd.

Okay - this one's real.
It's a redrawn version of the original appearance of the Legion. Done with vector colours in Illustrator.

The first appearance of the X-Legion. An adaptation of X-Men #1, I believe??

This one was a JLA cover - the one where the original 5 fight Starro. I'm really happy with the way I managed to turn a giant starfish into a domineering woman... [Wink]

A take-off of the first appearance of the Fantastic Four, complete with cheesy dialogue.

And the last one (for now) - the return of Captain America from Avengers #4 - with time-lost Lar subbing for ice-bound Steve.

And that's it for now...

Lemme know what you reckon, and if anyone knows where they can find low-res versions of the original covers I've taken off above, feel free to post them here for comparison. I had copies, but lost them. [Frown]

LLL!

(And thanks heaps to Scott for taking care of hosting issues and helping me work out what the frunt I was doing!)

Funny stuff! I really liked the Mentalla cover. The "Free" was a nice touch.

Tah guys...

They're the only ones I completed before my mayfly attention span kicked in. I had one more to draw (mostly Legion ladies, and based on the first issue featuring the combined JSA), but never got around to it. Maybe one day... [Confused]
