This will be a quick, fun and hairy Holo Model contest. Please nominate up to 5 male characters from Legion comics who each have a fuzzy face. They can be a Legionnaire, a villain, a supporting cast member, or an obscure character.
The top five nominees will go through a quick competition.
Have fun!

cleome, thank you for your nomination. I edited the original post to invite everyone to nominate up to 5 hairy guys for this contest! Feel free to add up to 4 more!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
1. Timber Wolf as Furball 2. Hunter 3. Three-boot Element Lad 4. Star Boy 5. Universo
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
1. Brin (obviously during the FYL, but not Furball) 2. Jo (Was the stubble he had reboot or threeboot) 3. Mordru (Duh) 4. Garth (Looking a bit rugged in Action) 5. Jan (He DID have that little goatee thing in the 3Boot, right?)
Sorry I keep editing.

I don't know how many Legion-related characters we've had actual confirmation on their hirsuteness, so this will be a mix of actual and who I think would look good with at least a smattering all over.
1. Brin (not as Furball) 2. Thom 3. Jo 4. Garth 5. Grimbor
I also remember a competition you did where someone had great sideburns and you made him lose his razor (maybe because I suggested it), but I can't find it, and I can't remember for the life of me who it was. I thought I saved it, too. But you could bring him back.
Sorry, that's six, but I'm torn.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
SS, it sounds like Quake Kid from Handsome Lad. Consider him nominated.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Lots of early nominees!
So far: Star Boy 3 Timber Wolf 3 Element Lad 2 Jo 2 Garth 2 Hunter 1 Universo 1 Mordru 1 Grimbor 1 Quake Kid 1
Naturally, I'm going to exaggarate whatever their facial hair looked like. This IS about their facial hair, y'know!
Polls still open. Thanks for the noms!

Hmmm... Well, looks like there are lots of good suggestions. I wonder if 5YL Cosmic Boy could be considered, since he always had 5OC shadow. [roll on snare drum]
I wonder if he would have been allowed to get fuzzier, if there hadn't been the Reboot.
For full-on 1970s/2970s nostalgia, there's always Phantom Girl's brother Gmya. He had that killer mustache 'n sideburns combo.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Cos had a full beard in his Polestar persona.
Would you prefer Polestar or 5YL Cos?
Consider Gmya (or is it Gyma?) nominated!
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Gmya? I don't wanna be rude but that sounds like the name of a gender-reversed Gim.

Thanks. Only...
Please not Polestar. That costume. OUCH.

1. Magpie 2. Tyr 3. Adult LSV Lightning Lord 4. Duplicate Boy (5YL) 5. Benn Pares

Spending too much time on the ol' crack-pairings, are we ? Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
I've been drinking too much of the ol' caffiene, actually. ;P back.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
A while ago, someone I knew wrote a gender reversed Legion fan-fic, and they called her Gimi. I thought that was cute.
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Gimi gimi never gets.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Whew! Lots of noms....
Current leaders Star Boy Timber Wolf Element Lad Jo Garth
All actual Legionnaires. Interesting.
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
I've gotta say. I never heard the word hirsute until today. You learn something new everyday.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
Waidboot Jan Otto Orion (gotta love a man with pigtails...) drunk Sun Boy Polestar Celebrand
I was determined to *not* use the most obvious-- Thom and Brin.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Jan joins obvious Thom and Brin with 3 noms each.
Cos gets a second, but it's his fully beared Polestar persona. This poses a challenge, because his 5YL persona was nominated with the understanding that it would NOT be Polestar. We'll see what happens....
Jo and Garth also have 2 noms. I'm actually considering not counting facial stubble, as there are characters with fully grown facial hair who should take precedence.
We'll see how the nominations progress...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Note - Toon Garth has a chin full of hair, so that version of him can be included.
Posted by Pagan Lass on :
Brin Thom Otto Jo Waidboot Jan
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Otto and Hunter are 2 different people, aren't they?
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Well, there's Otto Orion and his son Adam Orion.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Well, I'll just keep polls open and see what happens.
Posted by Pagan Lass on :
quote:Originally posted by Sarcasm Kid: Well, there's Otto Orion and his son Adam Orion.
I'll go with whichever one is more hirsute...
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Well, I guess you could cut out the dead one, considering the decay and all.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Oh, no one's dead on Holo World!
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
My mistake. Wait, what about zombies? Does that mean they're, y'know, unzombie like?
...
Kidding.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Zombies will be part of the Museum of Legion Arts, not Holo Models. Yeah, there are dead sentients in the museum!
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Once again, you learn something new every day.
Posted by Doctor One on :
Oh, Mordru, for sure. Timber Wolf, Grell version Star Boy Element Lad (blond afro) Jacques Hunter
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
POLLS CLOSED!
Congratulations: Star Boy Timber Wolf Element Lad Hunter Jo Nah
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Ah, well. So much for LL. I managed to see Chet, Pam, and Danielle up. Three out of four ain't bad (I wonder if the same can be said for the Superman movies?). Good luck with the drawings.

Here's a picture of stubble faced Garth...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Okay... I cut Jo from the competition even though he got a lot of votes. It's just that Thom and Brin have more facial hair and they're both very... brown haired.
BUT!
Jo will be our host!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Who will replace Jo?
Stay tuned!
Posted by Set on :
Gah, I didn't notice in time to nominate Smallville Cosmic Boy, 'cause he had some face-fuzz going on!

Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Wow, you really can get what you want by complaining. And to think of all the years I wasted because my parents told me you get what you want through hard work and determination.
Kidding. But honestly, thanks.
Jan, Brin.
I just couldn't vote for Hunter. I can't vote for a man with cheerleader ponytails.

Timber Wolf and Mordru. Although I like Star Boy as well. I wonder if we could convince the directives of Holo Models, Inc. to accept more finalists, this competition has so much potential! I would like to see the contestants in a situation that makes their hair "big". Underwater, maybe? Or in a really bad storm? So many possibilities!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Hunter and Mordru.
Posted by Caliente on :
Element Lad and Timber Wolf! Yummmmmy!!!
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Star Boy and Element Lad. Though Jan looks a little too much like a blonde Robert Pattison for my tastes, he's rockin' that soul patch. I hope the finals show that "hirsute" doesn't just apply to facial hair.
And I agree with Doctor One -- this competition is going way too fast!
Posted by Candle on :
Okay, deep breath, Brin and Jan. With Mordru. (And possibly Garth and Cos from Smallville.)
Darn you, Sketch! You're just too talented! Posted by Pagan Lass on :
It's a Tough Call... But I have to go with Brin and Thom...
Posted by cleome on :
Hunter
Thom
I'm having one of those days where I can't decide whether I'm a traditionalist or an iconoclast, so the obvious solution is to be both.
Also, Jo usually doesn't do it for me, but those bangs... that cute little hoop... [fans self]
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Thanks for the votes!
So far...
Brin 6 Jan 4 Mordru & Thom 3 each Hunter 2
polls remain open...

Posted by ActorLad on :
Brin and Thom
Posted by Set on :
Jan and Mordru. Mordru, 'cause of the flowing locks, and Jan because of the suggestion that he's not wearing nuffin' else but that soul-patch!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
We at Holo Models, Inc. (okay... I..) hear you! You want this competition to last longer. Therefore, just one rejection this time.
Stay tuned for the top 4 hirsute dudes in an all new challenge!
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
How're the others coming? Not too difficult, I hope.
Posted by MLLASH on :
AWESOME!!! WORK IT, Sketchy!!
Posted by MLLASH on :
And don't be afraid to show a little skin! Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
The same can and should be said for all three. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Forgive me, I've had a few drinks.... HEY! I can't find Sketchy's old (and utterly FAB!!!!) Jungle King picture....
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Happens to all of us. I just pray this doesn't turn into that Family Guy episode where Peter becomes obsessed with his mustache.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Click on the thumbnails below to see the full picture.
They're covered up, but there is kind of a lot of skin showing.

Mordru
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Yeah, Mordru - even if he's powerful, he just doesn't have the hunkalicious looks of the others.
Posted by Caliente on :
I say NAY to Star Man. Because, um... NAY!! He's too... I dunno. It's just not my thing.
Posted by Candle on :
Eliminate Star Boy/Man, he's just blahhh.
Mordru is ! Cool for an old duffer! But he really needs to put on his pants! Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Mordru looks like the It's guy from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
But I have to vote off Jan (despite liking his soul patch) He doesn't look primative to me. He looks like he is at a drum circle.
Posted by Set on :
Eliminate Mordru. He's creepy looking, like a wrathful god that wants to punish you!
Brin looks right at home! Jan somehow manages to look spiritual (and, apparently, remains nekkid!). And Thom looks way more comfortable than I would have expected as a cave man!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Take out Thom.
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Mordru.
Posted by Doctor One on :
Star Boy
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Who should go?
Mordru 4 votes Thom 4 Jan 1 Brin 0
Polls remain open....
Posted by cleome on :
Actually, I'm kinda' amused by the Python-esque Mordru. But I vote him off anyway, because he's Mordru and I've never forgiven him for what he did to my beloved Mysa. [grrr...]
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
Mordru... I really don't want to know what's under that beard.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Two down, three to go.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I'm working on the top 3 round today.

Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Thom is out.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Jan is really enjoying himself so he's a keeper.
Thom looks like he is dealing with the wind, while Brin looks like he wants to be elsewhere.
So, bye-bye Brin
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
It's time for Thom to go.
Posted by Doctor One on :
Yea, Thom to go.
Posted by cleome on :
Tsk. Jan, just what kind of smoke IS that "wind," anyway.
I vote to keep Thom and Brin.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Thom's all windblown sexy, and Brin has a nice, brooding thing going on. I vote Jan out.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
We've got the extremes... Jan enjoying the wind and Brin turning his back to it, with Star Boy more or less ignoring it.
I'm voting out Brin, despite the achievement of a certain Heathcliffish quality.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
The finale is coming soon...
Posted by cleome on :
Never mind, Thom. To me you'll always be groovy. [snif !]
Posted by Sketch Lad on :

Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Brinner for winner. I like the dark brooding look.
Posted by Set on :
Jan, despite having only a tiny soul patch to qualify himself as 'hirsute,' wins for me. I like how he's all lit up. (Or, given that this is theeboot Jan, perhaps just lit.)
Posted by Doctor One on :
Brin for the win.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Brin all the way!
Posted by cleome on :
quote:Originally posted by Fat Cramer: Brinner for winner. I like the dark brooding look.
Oh, yeah. Posted by Sarcasm Kid on :
Brin.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Jan for me.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Totally Brin
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
Either pic is worthy of being the winner. I'm going with Brin, solely because he does embody the name of this competition. Jan may have facial hair, but that's really stretching the definition of the word 'hirsute'. Blond men can be as hairy as brunettes, but Jan so isn't.
Brin, for the win. But I do like Jan's pic.
Posted by Candle on :
I love parts of Jan's picture, like his eyes and nose, but the over-all effect is too fem for me.
So, Brin.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
So far it's 8 to 2. I'll end this either really late tonight or tomorrow.
Posted by MLLASH on :
I vote for Jan to win!
Posted by MLLASH on :
My bf votes for Brin to win!
