hey guys going to post some micros similiar to Barry's latest version but with some alterations here and there. First up Element Lad...great costume but don't like the current colors. Think something like this may be better.

First one is a take of the Kitson's alternate costume sketches for Colossal Boy. I may like it better than the costume CB has. But it seems like more of a pain to draw month after month. Then I added some head gear. I don't know I felt CB may be missing something...I've always liked his head gear.

Here is a combination of the costumes. Added the belt from the alternate sketch to the current costume CB has. Took off his logo of growing cubes. Added some head gear.
I WILL find the right combination. The alternate sketch may look cooler but may not be as practical.
RE: Headgear. I miss it. plus with all the brown heads...may be a good idea.

Jeckie looked really cool with the veil a couple issues ago. Reminded me of her most interesting days as Sensor Girl. Did a few combinations...but I think I may go with an old school black veil next cause it may look better than all of these.
A masked female will make her more interesting...and stand out. If she was "blind" as in her eyes covered it would really make her stand out.

btw, I didn't make the original micro of Jeckie. My friend Rat did. I just altered with the masks.
(http://ratsnest.of-the-night.com/)Rat's website to give him is props. He is really talented. I'm just an X and O's guy.

Awesome E-Lad color scheme! I like the top row middle Jeckie best. Since you're such a big Matter-Eater Lad fan, why not do a Kitson era M-E Lad

Johnny Patches micro maker made this. It's Titan the Shiar Imperial Guard parallel to Colossal Boy. Looks alot like the CBs I made above. Probably was in the back of my mind.
I will look at Cockrum's Imperial Guard designs as well. They are basically alternate costumes for the Legion by the greatest comic costume designer ever.

Cham was tough. Barry's design is by far the best option. I tried black & white but the navy blue is better (blue being a compliment to orange). Wasn't very happy with these results. Back to drawing board it seems for me.

Well done Jorg. I especially like being in on the process and being informed in the what and why of your artistic decisions. Keep up the good work!

If Rond Vidar ever appeared in the current series I am hoping it is something like this. Tried to honor Giffen's old costume (which I love) but throw a similiar design to what Kitson is using. Also the glowing insignia almost a trademark of this Legion.

I love the glowing insignia on Rond. He's always been one of my favorite characters.
I like the headgear on CB, too.
The hood on Cham is great. It goes back to his race's origin look without being overwhelming. I especially like the middle costume with the addition of the end Cham's hood.
These are always fun to look at. Thanks for your hard work.

PS- I agree that Projectra is most effective with a mask, but I never liked the Sensor mask or outfit. I'd like something totally different, without the cape. Hmmmmm. Shady
