Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Visionaries of Tomorrow Costume Design sketches...up dated..TF added

I think it's intriguing that every single new Legionnaire we've seen so far wears gloves (though KK's and PP's are fingerless) except Dream Girl, who wears armbands.

Are gloves the new press-on nails, or what? Maybe they all did time scrubbing washboards on Takron Galtos and don't want to show their dishpan hands.

Even worse... it could be Gil'Dishpan hands...

Awesome ded! Can't wait to see them!

Any chaces of getting the opportunity to buy these sketches????

Hi guys - thanks! There should be some new design sheets I can reveal to coicide with #5 being published

Hi mwf6171 - sorry, but I've actually agreed to sell all the design sheets as one 'lot' already - which will include all the sheets relevant up to and including #5. I liked the idea of them being kept together. As new ones become available after #5 though, I will be posting them here and be happy to discuss selling them!

I really appreciate the interest and encouragement - thanks again!

Any new updates Barry? With the solicits for number six out, can you drop any new hints we can chew to death? Maybe some Lightning Lad or Saturn girl stuff since we ought to be seeing them soon!!

Hi Yellow King
I'll probably be starting a new thread for the 'second phase' of character design sheets very soon!

Can't wait!

i can't wait either !!!

Matthew.

Wait? But... I can't!

Yeah!! I hope its soon Barry. I have really enjoyed seeing your design work. You are doing a fantastic job on this book. Keep up the great work.

Hi Barry!
I came back 5minutes ago and this is the first topic I read...wowow I come back and a new topic full o img will start soon!!!

Hey Barry!

When can we expect the second phase to come out!

Haven't visited in awhile (I usually post messages regarding Legion on the DC boards), but I like what I'm seeing.

Missed Barry last issue, but Leonard Kirk did a good job filling in. I'd like to see DC get the creme de la creme for future fill ins. Guys like Jim Lee, George Perez, Karl Keschl (he's gonna be big).

Regarding the costumes, when I first saw Garth's costume, I loved it. No change there. When I first saw Imra's costume...well, I wasn't impressed. However, it looked really good in this issue...as did Imra (was that her name?). Still unsure about the short cape, but I can live with it.

Brin's looks was...I don't know. I understand that he isn't in a Legion costume...so the dark colors and trenchcoat are...okay. The hair though is just about the same as every other guy's hair in this series. Where's the variety? If he can't go Cockrum, maybe he could at least get a buzz cut.

Anxious to see how Shrinking Violet is going to look. And still hoping that Element Lad gets a new color scheme in time.

That's all for now.

No buzzcut for Brin I hope, I'd like to see his hair longer if anything.

I agree. I like it when Brin's hair is shaggy. Not the feral wolfboy look but just a guy in need of a haircut.
I am SO looking forward to Barry's design sheet for Timberwolf...I mean Lonewolf.

Me, too. The only "feral" version of Timber Wolf I ever like was the one from the Conway(?) era, when he had the pointy hair, the white eyes, and the mean look on his face. I hated Furball, I hated that thing we got out of "The Quiet Darkness", and I hated the reboot version. I think this current Brin is, visually speaking, my favorite to date.

Sorry about the tardiness on my part guys - I'll try to send the scans to Nightcrawler tonight!

Yeah!

Hiall - after some delay, which I apologize, here's the design sheet for Timber Wolf as I call him

The colors were by me as a rough guide to Chris so he knew what I had in mind - the notes are pure early speculations on my part - don't read too much into them...or do so at your own peril

Hope you like the design - thanks to Nightcrawler as always for the hosting of the image!

Awesome Barry thanks! Personally I love it as well as the notes!!! I like the mystery of the character. Too cool for boy/lad all the way! thanks!

A few years ago I did this costume as something I would like to see him in. Yours is MUCH cooler but obviously I dig the all black with brown hightlights lean look.

Wow! They're not a million miles apart are they! Glad you like my version too!

BTW I should have added in the original post that clicking on the thumbnail will open a larger image....but I bet you all knew that!

It may be a bit hasty, but this Brin is my favourite version of the character, too. I sort of hope he doesn't join the team - he's great as a loner - but works with them (frequently). He really does look dark; the trench coat is a great touch. Reminds me a bit of Dream (coat and shaggy hair), but more of the gunslinger or hardboiled detective type of character.

By far my absolute favorite version of Timber/Lone Wolf to date. He's got just enough of Steve Lightle's design, but with a cooler color scheme. Beautiful!

Thanks for sharing these with us as always, Barry!

Absolutely fantastic, Barry! This is the best Brin has ever looked. Very nice work.

Nightcrawler, is there a way to post the image a little smaller. When I print it out all I get is his head because the image is too large. Or is there something I can do to alter it myself?
