Do you know the significance of each of these HOLO MODELS?

Stay tuned.....
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Three of the 5 holos are done. The judges' comments are written. Just doing the finishing touches!

It's a treat to be back at it!
 
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
 
Indeed.
 
Posted by Set on :
 
The one seen through shadowy hatchwork is awesome. I have no idea who it is, 'though...
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
At LAST.

I'm a total Lana Lang and her bow fanboy, but that Glorith... who wouldn't like to paddle her spoiled little bottom?

Yay!!!

You know her...and voted against her....
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Your Lana looks like you were drawing a photograph. The best of them all. IMHO
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Thanks for the responses!

The first challenge is being posted tonight!
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
So, the first challenge is posted. Please name the Holo Model you would REJECT from the competition.

As usual, there's drama with the judges. Marte has fired the Empress and Imra. Who will replace them?

What's going on with Janice Warren?

Stay tuned!

I love the Glorith image... Why's everone pickin' on Nila? get off her case! Mysa-- very nice-ah. Lana couldn't look better if half of her was a hairy-legged spider!

Y'know, it irks me that Cher survived to the 30th century and continued taking her boy-toys. Sure, it might just be jealousy, but the voers make their own rules here! Out with Frake!
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Lana and Nila look so cute - very girl next door. Glorith captures the ice queen look. And Mysa seems to be part of the snowstorm.

Capt. Frake just left me cold. Bye-bye Captain.
 
Posted by Set on :
 
Nila looks sensibly dressed, but not as treacly as Lana. Glorith is amazing. Mysa is very dynamic, embracing the storm. Frakes is looking kind of butch, with the jacket, but it works for her. I think I like Nila best, for that 'girl-next-door' look.

My vote is to boot Lana. She looks too 'cute.' I'm not buying it!
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Aw, I almost forgot how fun this is!

Okay, so, so far we have 2 votes to eliminate Frake and 1 to eliminate Lana.

Polls remain open.....

It is great to have this back, thanks Sketchy!

Just in time for Christmas, I get to make catty comments about people's hair and outfits. How festive!
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Well, they have put themselves up for judging. To quote one of the models from Tyra's little version of this idea,
"It's America's Next Top Model, not Next Best Friend!"

I have to admit, I find that stuff annoying, yet SO intriguing. I always wonder how people I know would fare in such a setting.

BTW, this does NOT indicate that I'd be interested in showing that stuff for Holo Model competitions. I touched on it at the 1st Anniversary Special, but it was just one panel scenarios.

Anyway, polls remain open, though I'm eager to get started on the next challenge (and its judging).

So far, it looks like Frake is getting close to walking the plank!
 
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
 
My girl Mysa looks fifty feet tall, nifty!

See, I rather like Nila's picture. It makes me think of the really great photo even a complete amateur with a cheapo camera (like, you know, me) will luck into every once in a while. Don't read that as a knock -- it's not. It's kind of relaxed, a little unexpected from Miss Take-Charge.

BUT...no one has knocked my moon boots off. Hey, isn't #2 supposed to try harder? I expect more of all who advance!

Since someone has to be out...Frake.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Merry Christmas!

Well... not for Captain Frake!

The next challenge will be posted soon (not today!).
 
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
 
Drat it! Well, it wouldn't be one of Sketch Lad's holo-competitions if I didn't miss voting for a round or two.

I think I would've excluded either Glorith or Mysa. Two white manes is one too many in this size field.

I really liked Lana's.

Good to see this back in play, Dean.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Everyone remembered Wondil IX, right?

The next round will feature locations from the Legion's archives as well...
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
And what's going on with Janice Warren, one wonders...
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Yes, first Janice seems to know about the model contest and then she doesn't.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Please name the Holo Model you think was not Pretty in Pink on an Eerie, Barren Planetoid.

Yeah, what is going on with Jan? Ah the judges and their drama!
 
Posted by Caliente on :
 
Out, out to Glorith!
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Glorith gets my vote out, although she looked remarkably true to form.

Nila was quite daring, as was Mysa for her personality. Trust Lana to go for the 50s look - you did wonders with her hair!
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
I think Glorith was the best looking of all. Pink isn't her color for sure, but she makes the best of it. Lana looks like she is recycling her prom dress. She looks great, but know she just has to phone it in, so she does.

And if pink isn't Glorith's color, Mysa should not even stand next to someone wearing pink. And to answer Kin'thea as to why Mysa is hunched over, it is obvious that she was just vomiting behind that rock.

And Nila, heroin chic was so 20th century. I didn't think it was a good look then and the years haven't changed that opinion.

So, who to vote off? Nila or Mysa? Coin flip time. Heads Mysa, tails Nila

Tails. Bye bye Nila
 
Posted by Set on :
 
Nila had the most energy to her pose, which I liked. She barely filled the criteria of modeling a 'pink outfit,' since she was taking a minimalist stance on the concept of 'outfit,' but I can't hold that against her.

I didn't hate Lana, which is some sort of crowning achievement for her.

Mysa looked amazing, all gypsy-esque and willowy. Her pose also was vaguely reminiscent of her first appearance as 'The Hag' all stooped over her witches kettle, boiling over with trouble!

Glorith had a good outfit, but her posture did nothing for it. Also, she seems to have run out of cloth around the waistline...

I vote to send Glorith packing. The bad girls aren't winning this one!
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Who should be out?
Glorith 3 votes
Nila 1
Lana 0
Mysa 0

So far.

Polls remain open.
 
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
 
Glorith
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
It's looking like Glorith's gonna get sent to an eerie barren end of time....

...but polls are still open.
 
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
 
It's between Glorith (didn't Prince wear this outfit in the early '90's?) and Nila (I wouldn't call this heroin chic- more like Vegas Prostitute chic...)

I'm going with Nila. Lord knows what she'd come up with if the color were black or red, if pink inspired this look.

Maybe that's a reason to keep her...

I Vote Glorith out.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Glorith 5
Nila 1
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
It doesn't look good for my girl Glorith
 
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
 
It didn't look good for her in November, that's for sure.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Alright,I'm calling it! Glorith is out.

It's time for a New Year's break. This Holo Model competition will resume next week sometime.
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
Shoot, I missed the vote...

My favorite was definitely Mysa. My out-vote would likely have gone to Nila as I prefer Glorith to her overall, but I can also see Glorith getting the out-vote.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Hey! Happy New Year!

A lot of work is complete for the new round, but it's not quite done yet.

In the meantime, let's just think about Janice Warren for a while....
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Hmmmm.... Janice Warren
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
So, who failed at being Carggish?

Also, Lester Spiffany meets Janice Warren on Cargg!
What's up with that?

Please name the your choice for reject.

Thanks!
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
No votes today....

Well, the polls remain open. Who should go?
 
Posted by Set on :
 
Nila is just awesome looking.

Mysa gets points for being all skyclad and stuff.

Lana, oh my, she's my choice for reject. Yikes. She belongs in a comic with Archie and Jughead and Betty and Veronica, not the Legion of Super-Heroes!

Hie thee to a sock-hop, Miss Lang!
 
Posted by Caliente on :
 
Sorry, Lana, but you just don't do it for me! Off with her heads!!!

Errr or maybe just out of the competition. Whatever.
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Please, I think Lana is just going back to her roots. I like the sweet wholesome look. And she seems to be having fun.

I don't like the slutty look that Nila seems to be going for.

I was left a little cold with Mysa, but she is showing an exuberance, that Nila is not.

So just sitting there looking slutty Nila has my vote for loser.
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
I'll vote out Lana. I'm not feeling wholesome and sweet tonight.

The Mysas were just too surprising to be rejected and I thought the Nilas looked good, even if they were just sitting there.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Who should go? So far...

Lana 3 votes
Nila 1 vote

Polls remain open.
 
Posted by Doctor One on :
 
Nila to go. She's just not that interesting...
 
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
 
Lana.
 
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
 
Mysa's my favorite this time-- nice to see sheer, unadulterated joy in a pic... and from her of all characters!

Lana's didn't do it for me, but I still want to see more from her.

Nila's my vote to go. The way the three's hair merges and how the middle one doesn't show any arms gives me a Siamese triplet vibe that kind of creeps me out. Simultaneously, it makes her more interesting. Maybe I should reconsider... Hmmm.

No, Nila squeaked by that way for me once already.
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Lana 4
Nila 3
Polls open
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Polls closed!
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
So, finale time! Who wins? Fiery Nila or Icy Mysa?
 
Posted by Set on :
 
Icy Mysa all the way. There's nothing wrong with Fiery Nila, but Icy Mysa looks amazing.
 
Posted by Doctor One on :
 
Mysa for the win!
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
I was worried Lana would get ousted while I was looking at the pictures, and I was right. A shame, I liked it!

I'll vote for Nila to win... she looks HOT! *tee hee!*
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Who should win?

So far...

Mysa 2 votes
Nila 1 vote

Polls open......
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
Hey,
Schedule-wise, I just needed to finish this off, so apologies to anyone who would have voted given more time.

It was a lot of fun doing this again after a bit of a hiatus.

I do think finding Janice Warren's new BFF could be a lot of fun, Holo Model style, so I'll get that started soon.

Thanks!
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
Congrats to Mysa...

If I can't be Lester's new BFF, I guess Janice would be a good substitute...
