I love cheat sheets of Legionnaire looks, costumes and even personalities! I remember making some as a kid and I think I even sent some to DC and Marvel, but especially for the Legion. I thought I was so smart coming up with the idea! lol Anyway, I thought I'd post a few that I've saved over the last year, along with covers that sort of look like cards and anything else that might sort of fit in that category. I hope other people have some to share, too! legion_sketch_cards_1_by_snareser:

snarseer's color work is nice, but there's something about the B&W versions that's particularly . It's kind of moody and a little softer in tone.
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

Heck, yes! The colored work, for the most part, is very cartoonish and exaggerated.
I love his black and whites.
Great observations, cleome. Nothing I wouldn't expect you to point out, though. You love art and it shows in your posts all of the time.

I love Jim Lee's version of Element Lad but Imra w/o eyebrows is kinda disturbing. The side view of Sun Boy is powerful!!

Yeah, it must have been a mostly non-eyebrow era, or something. lol
I especially like Sun Boy (although these all look like mature men and women, to me), too. The loose pant idea is very interesting and 'mangaish'.

Hi! Checking in from my dad's house!
I agree that those are some awesome Legion images, but they weren't done by me. Now I feel guilty because I don't remember the artist's name. I remember commenting on my favorites when the artist first posted these.
Shady, do you recall the thread these came from?

Drat, no. I recorded them as 'Sketchcards'!
I'll have to go searching, darn it! Sorry, Dean. sigh

I stole this one from the Group Shots thread since I think it goes here, too! Originally posted by lil'rhino: Found this on google. Artist is Mystryl Shade.

I'll have to go searching, darn it! Sorry, Dean. sigh You can record them as 'actionfigureladcards'. I found his thread and bumped it! You know what though? This made me think that it would be fun to take some of my large sized holo model images and make them into a sheet of smaller sized "cards". So thanks for that idea and look for them soon on this thread!

Thanks Shady. I totally meant to post that here instead of the Group Shots thread.
