Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business "My" gallery ... shameless vanity and some thank-yous

Thanks again Grey! I'll do an updated version for you.

Dawnstar is a swipe from LSHv3 #56.

Yoicks! That looks just fabulous. And we get both me and my sister (braided look), in mid-flight yet! Gracias amigo.

You're showing a great deal of energy in how they look, with it often suggested by minimal sketching, and that's a more subtle achievement than it might appear. Dean also does this, through the shapes of his shorter lines, although he doesn't choose to ink or to "finish off" his sketches that often, as you're doing here.

I'll note that Gary also gave me both decoration around the eyes and a neckerchief, wholly fitting details that aren't quite as visible in the scan above.

The body build is notably slender, but it fits, with a kid that's 13 or 14. And as I see it, those who could fly would tend to be ectomorphs -- of taller and thinner build -- from both aerodynamic and wing-movement advantages.

And you did this just today? {/Wayne'sWorld ON} EXcellent! {/Wayne'sWorld OFF}

Glad you like it.

And thanks again for all of your kind words.

This is a wonderful showcase of art dedicated to Dawnstar and her family. Each one is so unique and lovingly crafted, and Gary, your addition today is very special. I look at your drawing and I wonder what they are thinking and where they are flying off to.

The short boots on Greybird are very nice, but the addition of fringes higher on his leg are a happy surprise. It's like he tied them on for a special occasion, or for the sheer enjoyment of the feeling of their movement in the wind as he flys. Or perhaps they are heading toward a celebration or clan gathering. I like Dawny's braid wrappings as well. A nice change of pace look which also might indicate a special event.

I really admire you talented people who can just sit down and bring these characters to life for the rest of us. Thank you so much!

For the nonce, I've transmogrified into "GoldenGreyEagle," to mark the current "Legion" - "Teen Titans" crossover.

This rendition of Golden Eagle is by Luciano Vecchio , and it's a different enough take on how this West Coast Titan was depicted so as to be reminiscent of a Starhavenite.

I usually have to do a lot of manippin' for my "Manipulating Legionworlders" pieces but for this one I just snapped my digicam and added the text - that's about it



Edit: Re-linked to ImageShack copy

I drew a couple of pictures for B's Leg35C stories of her starhaven characters, I'll look them out and be in touch Grey... they're not as gorgeous as some of the stuff here, but if you want them I'll email them to you....

I'd love to see how you envisioned some of her Freetraders, Sonnie. Please send them along, and do feel free to post them in this thread as well -- it's for showing off Starhavenites, and near approaches to "us," anyway!

A lot of the picture links had to be updated -- I let my Graffiti.net account go dormant.

So I'll take the opportunity to add this stunning "group shot" of many micro-ed LMBPers, courtesy of the well-honed talents of White Raven, a.k.a. Kat (the winged girl above me on the left) ...

Joe-Boy has been making hugely imaginative sketches in the "Project Runway" threads here in Bits, where many have been re-imagining outfits and looks for those in the LMBP. He created this striking look for "me" based on a George Perez design for Azrael.

I'll take the liberty (and the novelty) of linking some prose here ...

In a thread about the "Political Structure of the LMB Universe," I provided an extended take on how the winged Starhavenites came about differently -- and how Greybird came to take part in events -- for the LMB's distinct and evolving storytelling setting.
