BTW, for those who don't know him, Ben Pares was a master thief from the mid-70s series - a Jim Shooter creation. He tried to steal the Miracle Machine from inside Legion HQ. He was almost my #1 holo favorite because he looked so 70s (I was thinking more like Magnum P.I. than porn star, though!). I'd like to see him return as Stuck-in-the-70s Guy, like the 60 year old hippie.

I know who Ben Pares is, but I haven't read that issue. Anyone got a scan of the man with the plan (and moustache)?

I would have to say my favorites were Shvaughn and Kid Quantum followed very closely by Dawn and Mon El. Calorie Queen gets a mention as well as T-wolf. I'd like to see more from ben Pares. Mystelor did not impress and was almost my least favorite, except that Vi's head seems to have been squeezed. Stone boy is too... static. If he survives we will need to see some animation from him.

Scan of Benn (SLSH 213 "The Jaws of Fear"):
He also wore cool anti-grav shoes and had a hideaway (complete with drinks, floating recliner chair and holovision) inside a galactosaur... of space. Really!
Well, in my book, Dean has become THE Calorie Queen artist. No one else can touch his renditions of her. I recall a Dean Lee-drawn Cal wearing powder blue to match her eye makeup somewhere hereabouts, just fab. Like this holo. (hmmm... I dream of Cal in a white tank top and blue jeans...) FAVORITE FEMME.
Boywise, James Cullen has been a favorite since the Sprouse LEGIONNAIRES days (though it was difficult to like the post-boot short-lived version). Dean does him very well. BEST BOY.
Middlin'
Violet... I wouldn't mind seeing the hair go a notch or two further, Amy Winehouse-ian even.
Stone Boy and T-Wolf get passes this round.
Mystie was probably my second-fave femme. (If Vi gets the boot, maybe some Winehouse-ian locks for her?)
Shvaughn looked lovely.
Mon looks very handsome (though I had to check to see who the fifth boy contestant was... not a good sign).
Outtin'
Ben just looks way too... not what I want to see right now. Or anytime soon, probably.
Dawn looks like a kewpie doll to me, she's not revvin' my engine this round, even in a retro-pastiche way.

FC, D'OH! I knew it was Benn with 2 n's! I second guessed myself. I should trust my Legion trivia knowledge!
Lash, I'm amazed by you for using your Titanian telepathy on me! I have a holo of Vi already completed that shows her with even bigger hair. I intend on using it for either the next challenge or as her farewell holo. Also, the top three (meaning 6 total) contestants will be seen in white tank tops in black and white holos! And now I've given away the surprise for at least one of the upcoming challenges!
Kid Quantum is the clear winner in the male category.
Cal and Shvaughn are tied, making me the tie breaker. I choose... to allow the tie! They will share a bonus holo!
I kinda want to cheat to keep her, but I'm not that kinda guy, so... Shrinking Violet is out.
I kinda want to cheat to keep him, but I'm not that kinda guy, so... Timber Wolf is out.
You'll get to see Vi's big hair holo and Brin'll get one, too.
Thank you for participating. I know it can be hard to get on and stay on LW right now, so I really appreciate you all spending a moment or two with the Holo Model stuff.

Brin'll have a big hair holo, too? Are you gonna draw him as Furball?
Timber Wolf as Furball with an afro.

Well, I strongly considered making a Furball holo for Brin's farewell, but I went the easy route and used what I already designed.
So, you can see that Vi and Brin's holos were done "Familiar Challenges, Fresh Faces" style, and that is the idea for the next round for the Neo Holo Models. Please check back for that round -- but first, I've sketched but haven't colored the round winners' holos. That's coming soon.
