Bring on the P-BOLs! I did a bunch of sketches and cartoons this time cause I have so many photomanipulation projects right now I didn't have time.

First up, Kid Quantum II (whom I have a larger scan of and is begging to be colored *hint hint* ):

Then here's Magno in trouble with and XS:

Good 'ol Gear:

And everyone's favorite P.O.ed insectoid teleporting P-BOL, Gates:

Thunder:

Kinetix and Monstress fighting over an ill-fitting tube top (which clearly, would look better on Princess Crujectra anyways...):

Okay, first some reposts...

I've colored two versions of XS, the first drawn by Mike Weringo, the second by Jeff Moy.

Some Post-Boot Orignials mixing it up with some of the non originals.

First is Kinetix and Violet, drawn by Jeff Moy, second is Shikari and Wildfire, from Gina Robotgirl's Chibi Legion...

Finally, some new stuff, colored for this gallery. First up is Gates, drawn by Jeff Moy. I apologize in advance for the ultra-loud colors on this one. I don't know what that background's all about...



Finally, here's my version of Thunder, pencils by Matt Haley, inked by Tom Simmons. It was originally printed in Legion Secret Files and Origins #2 back in 1999. I found the black and white version of this on Haley's website, and thought I'd give it a go.

These are just reposts, but I'll try to get something new up soon...

MEL, LOVE the KidQ drawing! Thunder, too! I have a drawing of Gear that looks almost just like yours! Coming soon. The Magno cartoon is pretty cute, but Monstress and Kinetix fighting over a tube top is HILARIOUS!! Anyone can say what they want, but I miss the stuff that made people call it the Archie Legion! I suppose it would have been better if there were better adventures to go aside the silliness...

Anyway....

Lou, the colors are great, as always.

DrakeB, yes, we've seen those before, but they're just terrific!

I have some stuff coming soon...

Thanks Sketchy! I had fun (at work) drawing those

I really like Los' coloring, esp. on the drake/shikari toon on the all of the and use of lighting on Drake's XS.

Where's all the other contributions?!? Harbinger? Cru? Cobie? I know there's a lot more creative folks out there!

Here's an old photomanip I did of Rosario "yep, those are my boobies in Alexander" Dawson as XS:

Sorry I'm late... been kinda swamped lately.

I thought I would do a holiday pic this time, and this is what came to mind. I'm not sure how accurate Gates looks... I was kinda going from memory, and my mind isn't what it used to be

That's awesome Cru! I love it! Though if I saw Santa Gates when I was 4, I'd be scarred by Christmas for life !

That's actually pretty dead-on for going from memory! Nice work Cru!

Here's Monkey Eater Lad's awesome Kid Quantum II pic colored.

Funny, in over 4 years since I started working with Photoshop I think this may be the first time I actually used the lens-flare filter. Not sure if I like the effect or not. It kind of kills some of the shading on the right side of her body.

Oh well. Simple solution is to post one with the lens flare and one without. So here they be...

Cool, Lou!
If you go to some of the other artists' sites/message boards, they'll massacre you if you use the lens flare. I, however, still use it and find it can quite enhance certain images. I have to admit, though, that at first, I used it for no reason except cuz it was kewl. Now I actually try to use it like in my above picture and in your above picture, to show that a light source is affecting the "camera."

I used to compete in the Photoshop contests at Worth 1000 in another lifetime. There the lens flare (and other "gratuitous" use of filters) was considered a Cliche and was disallowed. If you used a lens flare in one of your entries it would be disqualified, period.

I generally don't like to use effects that call attention to themselves, but in this case I thought it was appropriate. The way MEL drew her hand it was obvious she would be summoning her power with it, and the lens flare seemed to be the easiest way to display the use of her power. Still, there was a part of me that felt a little dirty using it, going back to my Worth days...

I have two more Post-Boot Original pics that I colored (actually it's two different versions of the same pic), but I can't post them here due to content. I will link to them however if anyone wants to see them.

The pic is from the Erotic Gallery on Kat's Jeff Moy Sketchboard . The drawing is of Kinetix cooling down on a hot day in her quarters. The pic was originally of her in her "pointy ears and tail" phase, but I altered it to reflect her normal human form as well. I'll link to both versions.

WARNING: Partially veiled nudity in the following links! Don't open at work with your boss standing over your shoulder!

Pointy ears and tail version

Normal human form

Cru, Lou, Drake, MEL, Dean--awesome! The post-booters are lookin' good! This actually makes me sad that we won't be seeing these guys anymore (for awhile at least).

Dean, I have a feeling the posters of LW will be FIGHTING like crazy for that Kinetiz pic as they're avatar . Poppin' Hotties!

Wow, Lou, she's lookin'awesome in color! Love the shading, thanks! And Sketchy, man those have got awesome attitude to them! The three of them look like they could start a pop group together! Move over Beyonce, Kelly, and that other girl, Inevitability's Offspring are takin' over!

I feel so dirty now... like after Hughes' Dream Girl Cover. Very nice work indeed on the OPBs people, very nice indeed.

Gonna go take a cold shower now...

Thanks you guys! I got some nifty new pens, so I couldn't resist inking the Jazmin drawing. I was concerned about losing some of the "life" in the Zoe drawing, so I didn't ink it and the Thunder drawing just feels right as a sketch. I still have a couple other PB Original characters that I've sketched, but they're not done yet.
