"A while back I kept updating this list of ideas for Legion Alternate Reality style pin-ups for fun. I had Manapul do this one in particular because I believed it fit better with his design of Brin from the 3Boot/Earth-Prime Legion of Super-Heroes.
Sumo Timber Wolf: From a variation of the Earth-Prime timeline. Brin with a fatter, bulkier physique, adding size to his agility and strength. Maybe after his eventual break-up with Princess Projectra he turned to comfort food.
I actually added this to that idea for a Countdown Arena sequel fan fic that never got done. In the Timber Wolf section, this version and the regular Earth-Prime/3Boot Brin were tied for first.
A few months back I was asking Francis about having him do this and another of the alternate reality ideas while he was at San Diego and mailing them to me. When I met him at New York Comic Con he actually knew who I was and remembered the notes I sent. He was so nice and accommodating. I had him do this in one of my sketchbooks, and since it was smaller but in color it only cost 80 dollars. From New York Comic Con 2010.
My original idea was for Brin to keep the toeless boats but Francis drew sandals instead, which fits actually, and the rising sun in the background is a nice touch.
I'm actually really proud of this one even though I hadn't drawn it or created the character, but because, in a way, I got someone to illustrate my idea and design, even if it's a little odd. I am really glad Francis indulged my sick imagination and hope it didn't scar him for life."
