I'm calling Lash's Lads the "Exclusive Selection" edition. ExSel for short. Art will be posted soon!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
The art for the first round is done! Posting is happening now!
Posted by MLLASH on :
Good LORD, Dean... those are freakin' HOT! I'm seriously going to have to dwell on this a bit... this may take hours of staring at your lovely portraits before I can decide to reject three! Rejecting hotties just isn't something I excel (pun intended) at!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Aw, it's all worth it then!
Posted by Dain on :
Reject three? I can't even reject one! Ohhh, I hate nitpicking for nitpicking's sake! (Ok, it's hardly for nitpicking's sake, but it's nitpicking!) Need to relax and think...

Sorry it took me a moment to settle on a title for the competition thread. Five pack of six packs.... get it?

DOING ALL RIGHT WITH THE BOYS
Apollo. I'm not saying it's an exact likeness, but isn't there something about this Apollo holo that screams COBIE! ?
Command Kid. Interesting, although I can't quite pinpoint why.
Tyroc. Well of course he's gonna go with the 'fro! Wouldn't you?
Quake Kid. Okay, so maybe he's easy, but he looks nice-n-easy. I like this one best.
Ansis. Nice enough, I suppose. Good to have a holo you can look at after April rips your face off.
STICK AROUND, BOYS:
It looks like debutantes prefer brunets, because my votes are for
QUAKE KID
and
COMMAND KID
but it could have been Tyroc.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Okay.... I've looked them all over thoroughly, several times...
APOLLO
Very pretty... there's few things hotter than a built redhead... but I wonder if he isn't almost TOO pretty.
COMMAND KID
Yum... Dean's tousled his signature bowl-cut just enough to sexy him up REAL nice. Can't fault his taste in club-clothes, either.
TYROC
There's nothing I like better than a hot chick with a huge-mongous afro; I'm not sure if I like the style on my guy Troy. One can't fault anything else about him, though... OOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU indeed!
QUAKE KID
Shannen's working it, that's for sure. No wonder sentients galaxies-wide are helpless before his incessant macking. And those Grell sideburns... *salivates*
ANSIS
If one is going to be betrayed to the Dominators, one should be so lucky as to be betrayed by one as hot as Ansis. He's a bit beefier than I recall, though... I kind-of miss skinny Ansis.
REJECT:
APOLLO, TYROC, ANSIS
And might I add that XS looks lovely!
Posted by MLLASH on :
(ohmiGAWD, Teeds and I agree on the hotties!!!)
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Command Kid is so hot that *I'd* do him! Er... in that way that two totally straight guys can have sex and still be completely and totally straight!
And Quake Kid is pretty scorchin' as well!
Apollo just looks a bit goofy, Tyroc is all skin and too little effort at seduction, and Ansis is a bit too pretty boy!
So, keep Quake Kid and Command Kid!

OUT: Apollo,Ansis and...crap! I really don't want to reject anyone else, but if I have to Tyroc.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
So far it's T & A (&A) Out.
*tee hee* Posted by Dain on :
Quake Kid, Tyroc and Apollo. But I can't justify my vote this time. I loved them all.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Nice comments! Thanks.

Reject Apollo, Ansis and Quake Kid
Posted by Blacula on :
Command Kid, Quake Kid and Ansis to go. Tyroc's fro has me spellbound!
Posted by Caliente on :
Ooh, I like Ansis and Command Kid! (And XS, of course. )
So, that's Tyroc, Quake Kid and Apollo to go!
Posted by Set on :
See, it's easy to judge the man-flesh as a straight dude. Just look at them and think, "who would *I* like to be..."
Apollo, love the chest and arms (jealous, jealous, okay, I'm back), but the face is a bit effeminate. Huge chin, but not a huge *manly* chin. Soft eyes. And is that lip gloss? Mmm. No.
Command Kid. I'm not a big fan of body hair, qu'elle surprise. His face also looks a tad effeminate. Another meh.
Tyroc. I don't like the 'fro, but everything else is well-proportioned. Love the silver belt. Everything looks better with inexplicable shiny metal ovals.
Quake Kid is looking good. Is that a surf-board behind him? 'Cause a surf-board would automatically score extra points for me. (I surfed once. It was very fun, for the people pointing and laughing on shore...)
Ansis, I don't even know who this is (or Apollo, come to think of it. In fact, Tyroc is the only person I've actually ever seen in a comic book before...). But he looks good. I like vests. The hair action adds some dynamic whatever.
Gonna have to reject Apollo, and Command Kid, and, and, uh, I'm gonna have to flip a coin between Quake Kid and Tyroc... Fine, Quake Kid is out according to my commerative Two-Face flippin' coin.
Note to Tyroc, it was a toss-up between the shiny metal balls and the phallic surfboard. Make whatever you want of that symbolism, I know it's got me reaching for another wine cooler...
So is it just me, or did XS just say that she was fast? Gonna give Ayla a 'run' for her money, speedyfeet?

Heh! Kind-of what I was shooting for!
I wonder how many of the Freak & Geek Models will be unknowns to everyone...?

Pretty much all of them in my case. I didn't start reading Legion until somewhere around the introduction of Tyroc, Chemical King, etc. so a lot of these older characters are complete mysteries to me, as I haven't gone back and read anything from before then.
Then I stopped soon after the Baxter run until the WaK reboot, so all of these XS, Gear, Shikari, Monstress, Kid Quantum people are also kinda new to me. (But I actually like some of them, like Shikari and Kid Quantum II, so I'm all confused...)
Posted by Doctor One on :
I vote to reject Apollo, Tyroc and Quake Kid
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Ditto. Reject Apollo, Tyroc and Quake Kid.
I think Ansis and Command Kid look great and I don't even remember who they are!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Update! Who's gonna get cut? So far: Apollo 10 votes Tyroc 8 votes Quake Kid 7 votes Ansis 6 votes Command Kid 2 votes
Polls remain open...
Posted by Vee on :
Yummy! Great job Dean!
Tough to get rid of anyone but I would keep Quake Kid and Command Kid as well.

Oooh, so tough.
Apollo: Probably my favorite of the male torsos I've seen from you (dab a little chest hair on it, and I'd be in love), and I'm usually a sucker for redheads, but the face so excellently apes the style of an earlier era, I don't find it too attractive. So, Apollo's out.
Command Kid: I'm loathe to reject anyone with chest hair, but those eyes and hairstyle look very manga/anime-ish, and while I enjoy that style, it just isn't completely working for me in this competition. So, he's out, too.
Tyroc: Another amazing torso, and I like the stripper vibe I get from the way the top portion of his costume has been removed. He looks ready to take off the rest. He stays.
Quake Kid: It came down to him and Command Kid for my third rejection. The sideburns saved him. He's just rockin' 'em. If you'd given him Command Kid's chest hair, he'd have been perfect. Ask him not to shave between photo shoots. He stays.
Ansis: Easy out. Fabio hair on men is a real turn-off for me. So, he goes.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I really liked Tyroc & Command Kid. Actually, I'd really like to see Tyroc & Command Kid together, making out.
I have no idea who Ansis is.
Reject: Ansis, Quake Kid, & Apollo

Posted by Sketch Lad on :
With that, polls are closed!
Farewell to Apollo, Tyroc and Ansis!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Stay tuned for the final two face off!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
It's time to make your Exclusive Selection!
Posted by Set on :
Quake Kid looks like he's had his throat slit and is lying in a pool of his own blood!
And I like it! Quake Kid's death for the win!
Posted by Dain on :
I like the coloring and the "mood" of the Command Kid piece better.
Reject Quake Kid.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Set is right about Quake Kid looking like a murder victim.
Voting for Command Kid to win.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I'll support Command Kid.
Posted by Hunt Drouin on :
I'll take Command Kid to win. gotta love the hairy chest.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Well, to me, it looked more like Quakey was lying beside me on red velvet sheets, asking me "did you like that?" with the hint of more to come if I did.
Command Kid, however, confirms my theory that all beautiful people are possessed by demons!
QUAKE KID for the win!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
gAH! Thanks a lot, Set! Now everyone's gonna see Quake Kid as a murder victim!
Oh well, it is what it is.
**snickering about my rare MMB thread**
(I'm not really mad, BTW, Set.)
Because of that, I experimented with the images in black and white and in duo tones. I think I like them better that way, but it's too late.
Oh well, must remember that kind of stuff in the future!

Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Oh good, Lash didn't see blood!
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Neither did I. Quake Kid for the win!
Posted by Insomniac Girl on :
Yeah, he's quite fetching for someone who's supposedly dead, isn't he? Go, Quake Kid!
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
My man Tyroc was eliminated... so i'm voting for Quake Kid.
Posted by Doctor One on :
Quake Kid for the win
Posted by Caliente on :
Command Kid, ftw!! Both look dashing, though. Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
A side-by-side view
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
MLLASH got it just right. Quake Kid for the win! (I take it since this round is just faces, Quake Kid's chest hair is at that awkward-looking stage of growing back in but will look fabulous in his winner's picture.)
Posted by Ram Boy on :
I vote for Command Kid.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
It was reeeeeeally close, but Quake Kid pulled ahead!
Thank you Lash, for choosing characters I've NEVER drawn before!
(Well, except Tyroc, but that was my best Tyroc ever.)
Thanks to everyone else for participating and commenting. It was fun!
Freaks and Geeks are coming soon!
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
And now he's all scruffy-sexy for eternity in his winner shot. Great job, Dean!
Posted by Set on :
Whoo-hoo! The Death of Quake Kid won! Go Death! Posted by MLLASH on :

YES!
That final winner's pic of Shannen confirms that I was right to vote him to win... YUM!
