Do they look *exactly* like I want them to look? No, and I doubt that's even possible (unless Steve Lightle came back or something). But this is the best looking Legion I've seen in a long, long time!
The finished cover with Projectra looks so clean, like you'd expect a young person from the 31st century to look. (The rough draft of her sitting on the throne, all King Conan-esque, was an evocative visual. It makes for a darker, angrier looking character, while the one of her kneeling and grieving suggests a completely different character. Interesting.)
Also eenteresting that the Orandan throne room had a big honkin' chain that seems to have been attached to the arm of the throne. Did daddy have a large guard-beast of some sort?

Ayla looks so young there. I like it.
The biggest irony of the 'underagers' movement was that so many of the Legionnaires appeared to be in their late twenties or early thirties (Rokk, especially). Then again, in the 30th century the average human lifespan could be 250+ and a 30 year old might seem like a puling infant to the 70+ year old 'adults.'

thanks Set. from what I've gathered they seem to range from 15 to 20's. So I wanted to try and make them look like their age...although I tend to draw people "young" looking so that could also be a reason

Loving the panel looks so far Francis. Can't wait to see the whole thing come together. I may have to try to pick up a couple of pages featuring Lightning Lad to add to my collection.

Wow. Today's panel is just... WOW! I'm falling in love with Imra all over again.

Ditto on confident-looking-Imra. I've always seen her in my head as someone who would *look* confident (especially when she has her doubts), just because she knows what everyone is all anxious about, and, more importantly, she knows that showing apprehension will help no one.
Artists interpretations of their features may come and go, but I've always felt that most of the Legionnaires should be able to be identified by their posture. Some are subdued and often hang out towards the rear (Lyle, Gim), others are confident and out front (Imra, Rokk), still others are *aggressively* confident, daring the world to bring it on (Jo, Shady).
Brin's looking nice. Very not-Furball, which is 10,000 points in the plus column.

Congrats Francis! Issue 37 was awesome! Only disappointment to me was a coloring error so not your fault. Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the art (and the writing) immensely and I'm so happy to be a Legion fan now.
So a big thank you for a job well done!
-------------------- Long Live the Legion!

The coloring error where Saturn Girl is 'calling her mother' (top of page 8) and her hair is orange (as if she was Ayla?). That's amusing.
