Drake, like the re interpretation of Dawny. She looks much more warrior like in this view. Did you intend that star light on her brow to always be “on” or would it be used to show her tracking powers in operation?
I like the staff too, although I was wondering what it could be used for? Would it be a weapon? Or some way to enhance her powers whilst planet bound? And if this was the case would the legion reject her for that old, no artificial powers rule? Actually here’s a thought for a re imagined Dawnstar. If she was to come from a low grav planet and or spend most of her time in space maybe her muscles have atrophied a little and to cope with Earth normal gravity she needs a walking stick (oh alright then a staff) to help her stand?

My thought was that the light would be for when her power was working. And the staff is a spear - it's for poking.

This Timber Wolf is another great take on the subject.
I think of all the up dated costumes this is one of my favourites. It has enough of the "classic" look about it to make it clear that this is Timber Wolf, yet it is a good updated costume.
I could see the Threeboot Legion coming across this feral child one day and trying to invite him in to join.

Drake, love the Wolf Boy! Hey maybe we should point Barry, Mark, and Steve to this thread, huh? Get their creative juices flowin'?

Ab fab Dawnstar take, including those abs on her. A more relaxed, though still alert, bearing for her, and it works well. The gauntlets instead of sleeves, and the shoulder-fringe effect, are quite different and are especially effective.
I'm not sure about that spear, though, as to what she'd actually use it for in the Legion's setting. Did you have a scenario in mind?
As for the feral boy, it's an intriguing idea, well-drawn, but I find it hard to get outside the lone-adult-wolf box of the pre-Crisis Brin character. He was menacing, but the kid is not. Something intangible is missing ... I can't narrow down what it is. Gotta think more about this one.
Edit: Just read Faraway's take on Dawnstar and lesser gravity. That had never occurred to me, and it's quite plausible. It would be more of a matter of storytelling convention that all Legion humanoids would act similarly under Earth gravity. The relative masses of many planets would make actual behavior different. Or moons -- Titan comes to mind, for Saturn Girl.

I saw this thread, so I dropped everything & drew this really quick... Hard to mess with costume perfection.

Yay! Good to see another Mon! And you're right, not much need to mess with his cotume when it's so great as is.

I like the Timber Wolf idea. It gives him a wild look like a wolf just scraping by out in the wilderness. A little starved and dangerous.

Thanks, your take on her was no doubt part of the inspiration for the more "hunterly" image.
And Grey, I just thought the spear looked cool - makes her more dangerous (esp. since Dawny's powers aren't offensive). She'd probably have to lose it if she joined the Legion.
Thanks to all for the nice feedback .

Since my last Wildfire wasn't too much of a departure I tried to come up with something different:

Nice Wildfire. I rather like the cloak, and the new helmet design, even if I am a sucker for the more bubble-like faceplate. That makes for a nice visual.
