Heyo! My name is Joe Singleton and I go by Singularity over here, and elsewhere....I'm an artist and do my Artistic License column for the Collector Times Online, where most of us are Legion fans. Over the millennia, I've done a bit Legion art and will, likely, do more. Right now, here's a few very, very dated pieces. This was done around 2000. The font for the logo I had to modify, slightly, the "Y" was wrong, but otherwise, almost perfect. Just for fun. This one's not strictly Legion, but since the Imperial Guard is a Legion analog, here's Gladiatrix, the Supergirl of the Legion. Always enjoy the Empress... Supergirl is another favorite of mine. Always thought she belonged in the 30th Cent with Brainy. One of my redesigns for Supergirl.
My inks are not always as flattering to my pencils as I'd like, but I'm getting better. Joe

Hey Joe - that's a terrific Evil Legion! Saturn Girl - scary!!! And RJ looks good - we just don't get enough RJ sketches. The Mordru redesign is great - so are the others.

Wow! Joe, these are great! Thanks for posting them. The evil Legion looks perfect and I really enjoyed your Empress pics. Would love to see them in full color. And the Mordru redesign is terrific.
I particularly enjoyed the Brin/Wolverine pic. Outstanding!
Look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Joe, your stuff is great! I really enjoyed it, particularly the Emerald Empress. Love her. Both group shots were fantastic too-- dynamic and interesting with personalities and relationships coming through beautifully.
Oh, and I agree. Supergirl did belong in the 30th century with Brainy. Ah well, at least JLU got it right.

Very, very neat. The first group shot reminded me of why I became a Legion fan in the first place. Mordru is awesome and I really like Evil Legion (hee) as well.
Thanks for sharing your talant and please, keep'em coming.

It's sad how little Legion stuff I've done over the years. When I started doing commissions online, a few years back, I hoped I'd get a bunch of Legion jobs, but I only got a few.
Here's one I had fun with. Supergirl and She-Hulk in the late reboot era...

This is not a Legion piece, but it's an example of me trying to borrow some of the animated series art style. This is for something I'm working on, if I can get all the elements to come together, she will be starring in it.
For now, here's Galaxia!
She's basically the Supergirl of this outfit, so I borrowed elements from my favorite Supergirl costume. The color scheme and other elements are based on an older version of the character dating all the way back to the dim, nearly-forgotten days of high school.

A couple more, done in an animated style. Not trying to mimic the Legion animated style perfectly, just finding a look that I like and that feels natural to me.
These characters are part of the previously mentioned project, along with Galaxia. These two originate from the same homeworld, called Atlas.
Ajax is your basic "brick" or "tank", super-strong, hard to hurt, but ground-bound without the flypod on his belt.
Starwind is a bit different. On a planet where almost everyone is in the Superman class, she is considered physically weak and a poor flyer. Something changes when she leaves Atlas and she learns she can ride the tachyon winds that pass between the stars.
Also, I had the idea to do some animated-style sketches of the Imperial Guard, I'll post those when I get some inked.

Oh, your work is fantastic, Singularity! I particulary like the coloring and the costume designs! I'm looking forward to seeing the Imperial Guard sketches soon!!
