There were a bunch of these kicking around in my computer, and since there was so much LoSH love goin' around that hey, I caught the bug again.

 -

This was one of the first animated!LoSH style designs I did. What with Colu being all Brainiac-style robots now, and me at the time utterly obsessed with L.E.G.I.O.N., I sort of wondered how Vril would change now. Yes, it totally contradicts his character, but I longed to see him animated. Based on the Timm model of Brainiac - sort of like an older model for the Coluans?

When the first preview pic for the animated series came out, lot of people didn't like Saturn Girl's new look. Not me - I swear I am the biggest fan of her widow's peak ever. If there is one thing I love about the animated LoSH's designs, it's that they did go out of their way to make the characters look alien. Because... well, they are aliens. Anyways, sharpie doodle.

I usually dislike OCs and such, but since I acknowledge that this is a total self-insert, and I've been conscious not to make Lurker Lass the paragon of beauty, it's okay, right?

As far as planets go, I figured Bgztl made the most sense for a lurker? Also, I fell in love with their designs in the cartoon. Her symbol is also a bit of a ref - Phantom Girl's cartoon logo is like a Pacman ghost, so Lurker's is Pacman! Sort of. Aimed for the sleepless stalker look, mostly. Also, she does look rather unintentionally emo. I swear I am not.

Just so you're all aware, I have an unreasonably large obsession with Mekt. All the comic versions, plus the animated one. His cartoon outfit's the best, though. (Seriously, red white and green, what were you thinking.)

This was my first doodle when I got my new tablet. Always liked Shikari, and that red dress she had on in Legion Lost. This was a cartoon-styled design where I tried to make her look... insect-ish? I did some better sketches of this look later, should make a new one. Anyways.

From the Dream Girl thread! Only coloured. Messily.

Man, when I heard that Karate Kid was going to be one of the main players in Countdown, I was so psyched and drew this. Then I heard Karate Kid was going to be in season 2 and I realized that the show's design was probably going to be ten times cooler than mine, but here it is anyways.

I'll admit, I was super-happy about this one. It matched Garth's, and the design on Ayla's chest could double as a symbol for Light Lass or Lightning Lass! Hurrah for negative and positive space. Nevermind that she'll probably not look like this at all, now that Garth's outfit is all different and hardcore in season 2.

 -

That's all for now. Oh, and soon to come: stuff from the comics! Really, I swear.

Those are really good, Lurker Lass!

I loved the Karate Kid costume. It preserves the best elements of his white and black outfit sans the impractical high collar.

I also like Light(ning) Lass's costume and your rationale for the design.

By the way, I like the animated version of Saturn Girl, too. Your version captures her cool, exotic quality without making her seem too aloof.

Wow, these are great! I [Love] Karate Kid-- it's so dynamic and cool! And Saturn Girl looks way hot. And Vril!bot! Woo! [Big Grin] Yay L.E.G.I.O.N.! They all look amazing.

And, hey, there is nothing wrong with creating an avatar of yourself in any Legion 'verse. Trust me, we all do it. [Wink] It's practically a rule around here.

Lurker Lass, I love those! Great job! I also love the Karate Kid costume(& the Lurker Lass & the Brainy, etc!) [Smile]
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stuff!

I really like the style you used to sketch Shikari and would love to see more of that with...well, *every* Legion character!

I name your drawing(s) of Lurker Lass my favorite of the batch!
 
Posted by Awesomegirl on :
 
Awesome work, Lurker Lass!
 
Posted by Star Boy on :
 
Spectaculariffic! Wow wow wow.

I agree, the Shikari is awesome, I also like Dream Girl (messily coloured or no), and think the Lurker Lass pic is magnificent!

Such clean lines! Is this vector art overlaying pencils, or just tight Photoshop work?
 
Posted by Kryptaku on :
 
The Lurker Lass uniform is phenominal. I love that design. I'd love to turn that into a costume.
 
Posted by Lurker Lass on :
 
Aw, the positive response is pretty overwhelming! I'm pretty psyched that my costume designs went over well, actually XD

(It is actually a pipe dream of mine to draw for the animated LoSH comic. Pleeeease. It looks so fuuuun.)

And in response to Star Boy's question: I am totally sucky when it comes to vectors, so everything you're seeing (except the Saturn girl picture, that was pen and sharpie) is photoshop. Mekt was the last picture I did before I got my tablet, so the early ones were also done with the mouse.

Thinking of taking a little break from the tablet, doing a little sketching... hopefully I'll have some more stuff to show soon! (although, I do have some other stuff in different threads, should I post them in this one too?)

Absolutely! It's always great to have one thread we can visit to see all of your work so we don't miss anything because of an overlooked thread.

I really love your work. Ayla, Mekt and Val being my favs. Really love the costume design you did for Ayla and the variation on Val's white/gold and black classic is just great.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Boo! More stuff!

First some old business.

 -
Drawn for 'Legion on the run': Timber Wolf's seriously very Little Red Riding Hood costume.

 -
Last Christmas! Ranzz family is very messed up. I love it.

 -
Also from Christmas!

Animated Legion. Why didn't Saturn Girl get a redesigned, more mature costume? Not fair.

 -
Animated Legion again. Done in Sharpies at 3 am.

 -
Old pic of PG that I did without a ref, so I totally got her outfit wrong.
 
Posted by Lurker Lass on :
 
Far be it for me to EVER let a costume design go to waste.

 -
REVOLT OF THE GIRL LEGIONNAIRES.

This is the colored version, but I don't like it nearly as much since I clearly did not plan the picture out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have put the two monochromatic legionnesses (PG and Dreamy) beside each other.

If kick-boxing is a prerequisite for Bismollian law school, I TOTALLY WANT TO SEE TENZ IN COURT.

 -

There's a sequel of this that needs to be drawn somewhere: Matt Murdock versus Tenzil Kem. Either way, Matter-Eater Lad is so badass.

More to come eventually! Planning a big schmooze for the 50th anniversary.

Actually, you know what, you can have some non-Legion stuff I've been working on too.

 -

Tribute to Hitman, because everyone should be reading the JLA/Hitman two part crossover. Tommy Monaghan deserves to be collected in trades, dammit.

And this is the Question picture I spent all summer working on:

 -

(The Keet's an alternate screen name, hence the OC Lurker Lass's real name being Keit)

In closing, I would like to state that I have no idea what I'm doing. GOOD NIGHT!

You may not have any idea what you are doing, but it sure looks great.
 
Posted by Language Arts Lad on :
 
I love the Question, I think it's fabulous. I also liked the KK costume a lot.

Thanks for sharing!
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Just want you to know that I'm a big fan of your artwork... I mean, c'mon, 3 Dream Girls as the Dream Girls! You know I'm gonna rave!

I also have to point out that your picture of Shrinking Violet in the group shot is intense! Excellent.

Hah! Tenz! Awesome.

This thread is a treat!
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Wonderful, Lurker! These are a real treat. I especially like that costume and look for Vi - tough, but still feminine. Wild Tenzil! And that's a beautiful, haunting Question.

Keep doing what you don't know what you're doing!
 
Posted by Ram Boy on :
 
Fantastic art, Lurker Lass.

The reunion sketch is just beautiful. I also got a big kick out of Timberwolf. There's just something about that one that I just adore.

Again, fantastic work.
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
That Karate kid outfit from page one: PHENOM!!!! FAB!!!!

A *PERFECT* updated-yet-faithful design!
 
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
 
I second Lash's opinion - especially after seeing the pics from the upcoming ep featuring KK. I definitely prefer your design.

I think we're overdue for a Lurker Lass sighting!

Seconded! [Big Grin]

You're slave drivers, the lot of you!

Okay, this is all I have scanned right now, but I'm sure there's some stuff I can scrounge up for you soon.

 -

Because as much as I like 3boot Brainy not looking like he's naked in green tights, I had to reconcile the purple Brainiac symbol coat with myself somehow. Maybe they're a standard in the future. I imagine him being the type to not care too much about how he's dressed anyways. Throw on a coat, that's good enough for him.
 
Posted by Lurker Lass on :

Ultra Boy really needs a new take on his costume. Please. Anything. 5yl Jo? He was hot. Can we bring him back? That tattoo was awesome.
 
Posted by Lurker Lass on :

I just like drawing Shikari. Don't know why. That cute red dress she wore in Legion Lost was the cutest thing - I loved it. Wish they didn't get rid of it - her tights covered up too much skin (can't see the exo-armor that way!) and looked like she was almost naked half the time.

More soon! After my essay! (Grr, midterm projects.)
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Ah! I love getting my way!

Those are excellent drawings. I like Jo's expression, but there's something about the picture of Shakira that I love!

Thank you!
 
Posted by Singularity on :
 
Nice ones. I like Jo, though I think he has one of the most iconic costumes at DC and doesn't need more than minor alteration, from time to time. This is a good use of existing elements.

Now, if I could just find that belt buckle....

Joe
 
Posted by Caliente on :
 
Ohmigod, I [Love] [Love] [Love] Brainy!! [Big Grin] Seriously, so great!! All casual and uncaring like Brainy but still sexy. And the hair-- faboo!! Mostly, though, I love the sexy that is Dox.

Shikari is so brilliant, too. I agree that the red dress was the best. [Big Grin] She was so cute! I remember her first appearance. For me, she was definitely a Legion Lost highlight. (The rest... eh.)

And Jo. [Big Grin] Sweet, dumb Jo. I love his model pose-- it's so fitting for the 3boot for some reason. Reminds me of a model show or something. Too sexy for his shirt! So sexy it hurts! [Wink]

w00t~ Good call, Sketchy! And good luck on the midterms, Lurker Lass. I just finished mine. Bleh. Long live the Legion (in distracting us from our everyday lives)!! w00t~
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Yeah, spiky hair Brainy is great! And he used to wear a lab coat sometimes. I like the idea of him just grabbing any old coat to put on.

Jo looks like the best of Jo, confident, joking and strong.

Shikari - lovely! I miss her. This looks like a wiser Shikari, not the innocent stranger in a strange world look she was often given.
 
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
 
Wow, Lurker Lass, amazing work! First, I love your faces. They have so much character. Second, if I'd first encountered Dream Girl under your pencils, she might have become my favorite Legionnaire. Third, I love love love the toonverse Legion ladies pic. Wow, just wow!
 
Posted by Lurker Lass on :
 
Woo! Thanks, everyone! Yeah, in case you couldn't tell yet, I just really, really like dressing up characters. It's like some terrible disease.

(I love faces too. They are my super-favouritest thing to draw. Sometimes I just pound off pages of nothing but facefaceface.)

(If superheroines are so frequently posed like models, I see no reason why the guys can't flaunt it either. Gives us girls something nice to look at once in a while, heh. )

(Also: I guess I'll just have to keep spreading the word of Dream Girl, then!)

Well, school be sprocked, I figured I could scan in a few more things for you guys...

 -

Still need to colour this one in, but XS and Shadow Lass cartoon-style. Yeah, I know Tasmia will probably never look like this if she ever appears, but it's such a waste if you don't show some skin on her! That blue is such a striking visual. And to make all the blacks a bit more interesting, I am thinking... living, flickering darkness? As for Jenni, I fell for her on account of her big brown eyes alone. SO cute.

I wish they did more with Mekt in the post-ZH 'boot. Suddenly he turned up in Legion Worlds pumped full of medication and turned into a stutterer?

...His hair was pretty. Even if some artists made him look, like, fifty years old.

Another page from my sketchbook. post-Legion Worlds #2. Perspective is mean.
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Yay! Mekt! One of my favourite villains! You've given him the much more rough and rugged look that he should have. I didn't like the feeble stutterer either - even if it was a ploy.

And quite a few of the guys here appreciate it too.

Phenominal work as always. At first glance I thought you drew Jenni with Storm. However, your cartoom Shadow Lass was very good. Maybe the producers of the cartoon could use you to draw templates of the characters not used yet.

Slowly doing catch-up on the art galleries (I'm waaaay behind), had to say I love your work, thanks for sharing it.

The comic stuff is great, but I really, really like the toon stuff.

Off to find more of your art...

THIS is the Shikari that I used to think of with Gates!

 -

I used to talk with mostly Mystery Lad, about Gates cocooning and coming out a little more like Shikari, perhaps not looking so much like a catapillar.
Not too different but more butterfly like.
sigh
And this is a perfect Shikari for him.
