One of the most beautiful faces I've ever seen in comics was Laurel Kent's, as drawn by Mike Grell in her debut story. Now, I'm not trying to say I'm on Grell level, but, I am very pleased with how this sketch turned out.... Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
I love your work on the eyes! Esp. the lashes, its fabulash!
Here's the real reason Power Boy didn't make the team Poor lad, with that get-up, I always thought he was colorblind...

Proof postive that he is straight?

Love your picture of Laurel Dean, you rawk! Poor old Jed Rikane, he had a cool name, nice boots, hard as the proverbial outside loo and never shown any real respect. Also, was Jed ever shown to be gay? Great picture though, he looks young and cocky and just ripe for TWolf to trip up
BTW How do I link my Subs ii story thread to this one? It's all about Berta Harris so it would qualify wouldn't it?

Thanks kids! To link I think in the "Full Reply Form" you can use the "URL" button to create a link to the post/thread of your choice. You can also copy n' paste if you feel so inclined...

MEL, you so funny and talented!
Dean, she's stunning!

Great work guys!
And I highly recommend Harbi's Subsii story. I haven't finished it myself, (sorry B!) but what I've read has been great!
Posted by Harbinger on :
Thanks MEL for the tip!
Here's my first addition to this wing - it's a story I wrote a few months ago about Berta Harris, hope you enjoy! Subs ii

As I think Ive mentioned elsewhere, Legionnaires #1 was my introduction to the Legion. So, as a tribute to that issue, my first submission to this gallery is Academy student Cera Kesh, who goes by the moniker of TK
From the files of Shvaughn Erin:
.....In terms of sheer power Cera has the potential to become one of the most powerful Legionnaires, however she is currently using the bulk of her power to telekenetically keep her body in shape. Hopefully, with time Cera will overcome her body issues (as heaven knows we all have them) and begin to see her full potential as a..............
Posted by KidMarvel (Bunny) on :
Originally Cera's costume had a little blue mini-cape...but I decided against it. meanwhile, I think that its quite possible that TK was my first ever Legion design...the only other difference is that her insignia wasnt in interlac.

Here's Crystal Kid before he was redesigned by Giffen... Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Nightwind and Lamprey, before Giffen also. I'm working on solo pictures of each of them, more detailed. I always liked these girls and was suprised they'd be given so much panel time in the comics... Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Here's a photomanip I did in 2002... Posted by Luna on :
Joe Boy, absolutely exquisite (or however you spell that word)
Sketch: Crystal Kid made me wet myself, and Lamprey and Nightwind where way over due for such a great rendering.
Posted by Harbinger on :
Laurel Kent sat under her yellow sun booster lamp flicking her flight ring restlessly from hand to hand. The butter smooth light glinted of the 'L' insignia as the ring spun in the air. Any of her fellow students would recognise this mannerism, Laurel was deep in thought. She sat lotus position, her lips pursed and eyes closed as the ring jumped from one hand to the other. The warm light kept her Kryptonian genes activated, her invulnerability was the only surviving trait from her galaxy wide famous anscestor. This one power the only thing that seperated her from any other slender pretty girl.
Laurel continued her daily ritual of soaking up as much yellow star radiation as she could. She had to keep herself in battle readiness at the Academy, her position here depended on it.
She had spent much of this afternoon in the dojo with her normal sparring partner, Jed Rikane. The gentle hulking boy with the incredible molectular structure had initially offended Laurel when he had arrived here, his cocky manner and clumsy gait had not appealed to this diplomats daughter. Before arriving at the Academy she had been brought up believing that one's place in the Galaxy was decided by the work one was prepared to put into life. Jed's aknowledgement that he was here for the fame, girls and good time, casually dismissive of the bloody hard work that most of the other students had exhibitted to get here and maintain their place, was not worthy of a Hero to Laurels point of view. Over the months Jed had slowly opened up to his fellow students showing a generous and sensitive side that was pleasantly surprising. He would still never win any quiz not centred around his own achievements but still Laurel was begining to appreciate her bulky fellow student.
Laurel's thoughts spun away from the ditochomy she saw within Jed's personality. Today's session in the dojo had been hard, brutally hard but it still hadn't helped her clear her mind. She had lost in three bouts to Jed and even he had commented that her mind wasn't on the matches, still she fought him. Behind her normal facade of focus and compassion Laurel was worried. Her greatest fear was dying alone and unloved, being the last of her family, leaving no legacy behind. It would surprise most of her peers if they were to learn that their normally intelligent, good humoured and focussed fellow student had these thoughts. She had long ago realised she would never live up to her famous anscestors legacy. No, this slender girl would never shape galactic events. Still her name alone had brought her many admirers but they would never know the real reason for her gentle rebuttle of attention. Her families physicians had been very stoney faced as they announced the unlikelihood of the Kryptonian DNA surviving another generation if watered down by Terran stock and as there were no Kryptonians left alive for her to fall pregnant by Laurel was to be the last of the Family Kent with abilities beyond the norm.
Laurel had lived with this knowledge for three years now, before her entrance to the Academy. If she was to be the last of her family, she had decided, then she would damn well work to be remembered for something. Initially the Legion had been the perfect vehicle, she thought to achieve some greatness. Two years of training, application, study, sweat and tears later and she was still not close to achieving her goal. Until, that was, she had met him in the Metropolis Dance Zone last night.
He had recognised her immediately and sweetly offered to purchase their drinks and stims for the evening. Laurel smiled, her long blue black hair falling over her blushing cheeks. They had danced until 3am then he had suggested they leave for somewhere more intimate, a Couples Nook could be booked for the rest of the night if she wanted, or perhaps she would like a tour..? He did not show any surprise when she declined his generous offers with polished practice, instead she returned to her room at the Academy. It wasn't until she was pulling her covers up over herself that she realised she may have just been offered a way to save her family. He wasn't intimdated by her famly name, was far from being over shadoweed by her B list celebrity status or political conections. And being a fellow meta with abilities that came from the yellow sun radiation that powered her Kryptonian DNA he might actually be exactly what her family needed if it were to survive as anything above the ordinary.
Would she ever feel comfortable compromising her morals for a chance to give her children a chance at greatness? His infidelity was legendary. He most probably would decline to father children with her, but surely she had to try? Laurel continued to gently throw the Academy flight ring from hand to hand as her thoughts troubled her. All she needed to do was turn the insignia to contact him.
Laurel grabbed the ring in her right hand and flung it with all her strength against her wall.
"Damn it!" She rose and went over to pick up her hard earned flight ring. What could she do? What would her famous anscestor have done?
Laurel returned to her position under the yellow sun booster lamp and absent mindedly continued to toss her ring from hand to hand as her thoughts spun.
Was being with Dirk Morgna, Sun Boy how she really imagined her future would turn out?

For Lamprey I wanted to do something a little more 'creature from the deep'...so I added Gills (not ribs ) and scales...her ears are supposed to resemble Sea-shells, but I dont know if they work quite as well as Id hoped: Posted by Luna on :
Bravo, Joe, she's awesome, now do
(I'm just joking, do what want)
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Harbinger, I love how Laurel is conflicted about her status as the last Kryptonian. What *would* one do? Would having children with Sun Boy lengthen her family line? What if she chose a "normal" Earth man? Could some recessive gene spring to the surface?
This is a fascinating topic.
I can't help but wonder how Dev-Em could factor into this tale.
Do you have more planned?
Posted by Greybird on :
Potent reverie, Belinda, and exactly the kind of thoughts she could have as "the last of her line," from one of my favorite second-tier Legion-milieu characters. ... Manhunter? What's a Manhunter? {rueful smile}
Posted by Harbinger on :
Alan's always had a soft spot for Laurel so, even though she'd gone by the time he got me reading the Legion by osmosis I've kind of taken to her as well. I meant this peice to fit into the story where she becomes a Manhunter - only her intentions for getting Dirk alone weren't quite so sinister Glad you enjoyed it guys, thanks.

Another Laurel Kent. Right after the haircut. Did they have to use krptonite scissors? Posted by Sketch Lad on :

Great work, Dean, Kid Marvel. And B, that was a great short story!

I've posted these before on the Vee's Legion thread but they certainly belong here as well. Here are the three Academy students I've done in CoH: Grev Mallor, Jed Rikane, and Visi-Lad

This last batch is impressive Dean! The Lamprey especially. She really looks like she's deep in the sea. Very dark and moody. The on the flip side you've got Comet Queen, very bright and airy, as her character should be.

Wow Drake, the little dorm room snapshots are beyond cool. They really capture something about being that age and being at school.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Drake, those are incredible! Awesome...simply awesome. You really captured the relationship of the four female academy students and the way they viewed Wildfire.

Awww Drake. It's like a blast from my own dorm days... Much love.

I have two Lampreys in the Forte section - how she might have looked with him and how she originally, a little, like she looked when she WAS introduced as a cadet, if I remember right, anyway.
This version is closer to her later incarnation. I like the teal idea better than the green and the eyes are a subtle yellow.
The original photo is of Clark by Nigel Barker from ANTM.

I really like this one, even though I couldn't resist giving Dingo a Scooby-doo speech impediment! And I love how the photo looks like his mouth is talking! The painting process enhansed the effect.
The picture is one of Sketch's Dingo pictures that he posted on the Pets thread.
I love how the blue forum space frames the blue in the borders and text. I also like how the text font gives Dingo a sophisticated sound to his 'doggie' accent! That's a happy accident since I couldn't figure out how to actually CHANGE the font.

Here's a slightly more exciting version of one of my favorite cadets. I think the coloring is more in keeping with the 'night' part of her name, as well.

She has a bellybutton, you know. I don't know if CQ actually does, but I thought it was kind of cute.
Posted by CandleLASHlight on :
Okay. I get excited about presenting something and jump the gun, posting before I really step back and judge things. sigh
So, I've made some adjustments to CQ to make her a little more like the original drawings of her and to add a little interest. I like her even better now. Go figure.

While I continue working on the other picture of Dragonwing, I found this and think this is a very beautiful and interesting version of her.
Dragonwing II: original gif posted by tekkonkinkreel1404 I think that this person did the animation rather than the drawing, though.
Posted by Candlelight on :
I saw this and thought of Glorith. It's certainly a different take on her, but on the other hand, it matches her current look with the glowing face symbols and the brownish hair.
