Author Topic: Barry Kitson inspired Legion designs Ultra Jorge Himself alone posted                        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.

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. From: Tampa | Registered: Mar 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Ultra Jorge Himself alone posted                        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.

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.

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.

Since you're such a big Matter-Eater Lad fan, why not do a Kitson era M-E Lad From: Alameda, CA | Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Ultra Jorge Himself alone posted                        Ya know the M-E Lad costume (original) already has a Kitson feel to it. But I may do ME Lad. Or atleast the spanish version Devourer! I made the Shiar Imperial Guardsmen version of M-E Lad. heh.

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.

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.

The green eyes are a nice touch. Overall great stuff! From: New York, NY | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Yk between boots posted                        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! From: Smallville Sector : Greater Metropolis | Registered: Jun 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Ultra Jorge Himself alone posted                        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. From: Tampa | Registered: Mar 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Mysa Nal 3 & agents of the Magestrix posted                        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.

I'd like something totally different, without the cape. Hmmmmm. Shady -------------------- Let the games thrive, friend and foe alike. But, . . . the time is shorter than we think.
