Well it's a sunny day today, so let's bike down to the beach, do a little surfing, a little girl watching, and a little boating... wait a minute... what's that?
Uh, oh. We're gonna need a bigger boat.
Today's updates are Bicycle Repair Man, Hot Chick, Mine Surfer, Shark Lad, and Sonnie:
I don't know Sonnie, but I do know that he uses his own painting of a reclining Buddha as his avatar, so I used a Buddhist dharma wheel, which also serves as a sort of a play on words as its shape suggests a sun to me.
BRM is fairly self explanatory - a bike with a first aid logo - as is Mine Surfers - a surfboard with the old "minesweeper" smiley.
I don't know the full story of Lardy's character Hot Chick, but I think there might be some evil lurking there, so I like how the bikini almost looks like a slightly evil smile.
And Sharky... well... if I gotta tell you.
Up next: In honor of the expectant dad at the top of this page, and the impending reboo... er... relaunch... we meet, "The LMB Dark".

Shark Lad's is awesome, and I really like the sinister bathing suit,I totally saw a smirk the first time I saw it.

Thanks, guys. Can't really take much credit for Sharky's as the movie poster image is pretty much the definition of iconic, all I did in my redrawing is just widen and give a little more symmetry to ol' Bruce's smile.
Well, I see by the clock that's it's after midnight, and that's when the ghouls and goblins of the LMB come out to prey. So run for your lives, here comes Blacula, Dedman, Ghost of Numf-El, and RTVU2 (known on occasion as Count Vudoo).
Blacula's is a retooled bit of the poster for the 70's flick, "Blacula" (what else?)
Deddy's is a reworked version of the original DC Deadman logo into an Interlac version. I know interlac shouldn't be hollow, but as a solid it looked like nothing but a rippled blob
I don't know who Numf-El is, but I assumed that even a Kryptonian ghost would still wear a headband. That little Pacman fellow's band is also topped with a Kryptonian "N".
Again, I'm not familiar with rtvu2, but I do know from LMB history that he was called Count Vudoo and ran a place called the Vudoo Lounge, so I thought him a good fit with our other horror-themed members.
Up next: Let's hear it for the boys!

I do recall the ghost of (pre-Byrne) Jor-El having a headband when he got a cover. So yeah, Kryptonians don't seem to change outfits when they die, only when rebooted.

Boys will be boys. Doubly so if they're in the LMB. Today we've got: Blockade Boy, Lad Boy, Portfolio Boy, Power Boy and Star Boy:
Star Boy is a direct LSH lift.
For Portfolio Boy, I went with a little artistic license and actually based it off a briefcase (but at least it was a Ralph Lauren briefcase. Stay classy, LMB. )
For Lad Boy I like the double male symbol, but it looked very odd facing the same way (like the symbol was pregnant with a baby symbol) so I flipped the little one to try to balance it.
I had the same problem with my original Blockade Boy that I had with my own (too substantial and blocky) so I tried to vary it up a bit with more of a fence-type blockade.
And for Peebs, I wanted to suggest both his name (in the form of like an atom, or a nova) and at the same time his origins (from Apokolips). The problem is that, for me at least, "Kirby Krackle" is a monster to do. I must have redone those rings like 10 times, and I still don't think I got it entirely. I think those pocky energy lines that Kirby did must work best as a flat effect, and the embossing here makes it seem odd. Let me know what you think, Peebs. If you don't like it I can try something different.
Next up: Are you guys twins?

I tried to reply to your PM, but it said your box was full. Long story short, though: "Absolutely, will do!"

Thanks! I've deleted some old PMs. I look forward to seeing it when the time comes.

OK, two quick ones before bed. Two remarkably similar LMB members and only one good arm between 'em. We've got both Arm Fall Off Boy and Arms Fall Off Boy:
Up next: Who are three LMBers who have never been in my kitchen?
