Some of you may be saying to yourselves, "Hmmm... Sketch Lad, none of those contestants have ever been featured in a holo model competition before, except for Shrinking Violet! She was in the Raven Haired Edition!"
I'd say, "Hey Sharp Eyed Legion Worlder, you're right! I've made an exception for her. 5YL Vi appeared in the Ravens contest, Cockrum/Grell Vi will be who we see in this one. She's practically a different character, really.
I just couldn't resist drawing characters who haven't been in one of these yet, so I did.
Some of you might be thinking, "Hey Sketch Lad, didn't you say you were going to do contests for those obscure characters?"

FAVORITES: Calorie Queen-- Even though I sort of feel like I've seen this image before, it works so well that I don't care! I really like it. Brilliantly done. Kid Quantum-- The boys were a bit tougher but I loved James' hair. It was so... curly. Overall, I thought the holo was great.
OUT: Shrinking Violet-- I love Vi, I do, but her hair just isn't doing it for me. Stone Boy-- I also feel like I've seen this one before, too, only not in such a good way. It's just kind of dull for me. Which I suppose might work for Stone Boy but... not for me.
COMMENTS ON THE REST: Mon-El-- Love it! He was a close second to James. The gold in his uniform was especially sparkly and neat. (I do love shiny things.) Great work. Timber Wolf-- On notice because this holo really didn't work for me. I didn't get a sense of his personality, really. I think Brin can do much better! But his neat look saved him this time. Ben Pares-- I liked it! I'm not really sure who this is but he has a funky mustache, and I can get down with that. Shvaughn Erin-- I'm really glad to see her here! I've been thinking she deserves a turn. And I do like her image. Definitely the runner-up for me. Mystelor-- Very nice. I'm interested to see more of her. I definitely think she has potential. Dawn Allen-- Aww, so cute! I like this one, too. Jenni's mum owns that retro look. For realz~

Favorites Timber Wolf - love the swept, angular, vaguely distorted feel to that one. He looks all lean and hungry and a little bit otherworldly. (I woulda said fey, but it doesn't mean what it used to.)
Shvaugn Erin - I don't even like redheads, but she's totally working it. Her hair looks really natural like that. I expect to see her looking up and puffing it out of her face any second now.
Out Ben Pares - I have no idea who this is, but he looks like a '70s porn star. That's not a plus in my book.
Dawn Allen - oh so terribly precious. Yes, I'll buy the darn Do-Si-Dos, and some Tagalongs, take the money and get off my porch little girl! (It's amazing how something as simple as having the character look upwards towards the viewer can change one's perspective!)
The rest Calorie Queen - her node id mithing. Or maybe it's just the interaction between her nose and the blue eye-paint, at that angle, but it looks odd.
Mon-El - I think I know this guy. I too, like the shiny gold medallions. Who knew Lar was into bling?
Stone Boy - very clean-cut and sober. I kinda miss the really, really old-school Legion, where everyone was terribly clean-cut and preppy looking.
Shrinking Violet - yikes! Too much hair! Salu, you are no Lydda Jath!
Kid Quantum - nice purple eyes. Otherwise, bleh. Nothing compares to your picture of his sister with Donna Summers hair. That rocked.
Mystelor - my, she's looking pert. Very direct and challenging. I like it! Normally accessories distract me and feel like a cheat to get my attention, but she manages to overpower the accessories. (Wear the dress, do not allow the dress to wear you!)

1. Cal. Like Caliente said, I have a feeling that I've seen this before. But it doesn't matter, this is the best of the bunch. Lots of personality shines through.
2. Ben. This look is so... old fashioned! But the moustache, the long-ish hair, it's quite interesting. Would anybody please remind me who Ben Pares is?
3. Mon-el. Yes! I've been waiting for a competition that includes him for ever! And he's working it here. Excellent job!
4. Shvaughn. Love the texture of her hair, she should be in a shampoo commercial (there's an idea for a competition...)
5. Mystelor. Very serene, bordering on catatonic. But no, the picture actually does work. I'm looking forward to seeing these people actually doing something
6. Kid Quantum. Like that strange hair-do. I thought this kind of do was a comic book thing, until I saw it in Africa. It looks good! KQ's face is somewhat asymmetrical, though.
7. Dawn Allen. Too fifty-ish for me. I'd love to see Dawn with her hair down (i.e. without hairspray).
8. Stone Boy. Meh. I'm having trouble finding anything to say about him at all, and that's bad...
9. Violet. Nice picture, but the do is wrong. Too much hair, somehow. It makes her look like a cone-head.
10. Timber Wolf. Oh, this is not working for me at all. You know, this is the TW version that I like the least, I've never liked this look. Maybe because it makes him look utterly inhuman
so, winners are Cal and Ben, losers are Timber Wolf and Violet

Favorites. Kid Quantum radiates. Shvaughn. I'm not sure this is my favorite, really, but she stands out.
Least favorites. Timber Wolf. I think this is a fine holo, really, but I like the others better. Mystelor. Her features seem pinched and I hate that lipstick.
I like the other contestants' lipstick though -- very nice! Please let Dawn let down her hair. Modern-retro rather than full-on retro, please!
PS about Violet's hair -- I seem to recall her hair being drawn like that in the 1970s. And, despite the fact that it's not a big bouffant style, Vi's hair probably took more space-hairspray than Dawn's.

Favorites: Kid Quantum - Very striking! Mystelor - she looked like she was in a trance or hypnotizing someone, very mysterious. (But I must go back and check out that lipstick - I was more focused on her eyes and hair.)
Least Favorites: Stone Boy - he looks a whole lot better than he ever looked before! but the other guys outclassed him. Dawn - too wide eyed and innocent looking for me, even if that's how she really was/is.
