Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business LMB Monitor Board Symbols

Playing around in Photoshop tonight, I thought I would see if I could start making a series of Mission Monitor Board symbols for the folks on this board.

I started fairly easy with the board owners (two of whom had existing parallels in the actual LSH, anyway... so), but I really dig the way these came out, so I think I'm going to make a bunch more.

Anyway to start: Lightning Lad, Nightcrawler, and Saturn Girl:





Next up, I'll try the LMB founders: Lash, Lardy and Candle.

cool!!!!

Very shiny!

I'm not sure what Nighty thinks, but maybe a dark cloud of smoke with two red eyes and / or a white fanged smile peering out of it would be appropriately Nightcrawler-ish.

Looking great!!!

Those are awesome!

They're wonderful!
I can hardly wait to see the next set!

Love it!

In keeping with the actual LSH symbols, I'm trying to err on the side of simple - something that is abstract enough to be symbolic, but at the same time conveys who the person is. If any of them too widely miss the mark, though, just let me know and I'll give it another shot.

So, next batch: Lard Lad, Lash Lad, and Shadowplay in Candlelight Lass:





Lardy's is a take on his chest symbol from dedman's drawing (a stylized 'L') but I also kind of like how it suggests a flexed bicep, in a way.

Lash's is sort of too detail-y, but I couldn't draw a whip freehand, so I stole an image from online and shortened it a bit.

For Candle, I debated just using a simple image of a glowing candle, but I think the Tragedy/Comedy faces she used back in the day better captured her character's light/dark balance powers.


Up next, two fairly easy ones to round out the charter LMB members: Cobalt Kid and Mystery Lad (formerly Tsarin)

When you get to Cobie, I recommend a sheep with a look of terror on its face...

These are all great Exnihil. I agree with you on Nighty's symbol.

I just thank God I was not drinking something when I read this.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

These are cool, Ex. Can't wait to see mine.

Thanks for symbol, Ex!

My pleasure, Nighty.

Yikes... He Who, you are going to be a toughie. Could you like... maybe... betray the LMB and get expelled before I get to yours to save me a headache.



So, Cobalt Kid and Mystery Lad, the other two charter LMBers apart from the founders are just simple lifts (Cosmic Boy, and incognito Element Lad from Adv. 307). Still pretty neat looking, though, I think:




Next on the docket: Three animal inspired LMBers (Hint: all three animals begin with the letter, "R")

Ravenette, Rocket Cat and Roosterboy?

I love Lardy's since it looks like a ummmm, heavyset L!


Mine's lovely and appropriate, thank-you!

Pov . . .

I know, I know, Shady... Des knows I love him like a brother and all my kidding comes from there... Poor guy.

But honestly, that's what he gets for graduating from the cowtipping capitol of the northeast!

Awesome work, Ex!

Thanks, everyone!

So, remember what I said about trying to keep a simple design?

... and then there's Rocky. Darn your plumage!


So, the zoological entries for the day are: Lil' Rhino, Ram Boy, and Rockhopper Lad:





I was going to go a bit more iconic with Rammy (just an Aries sign) but the three looked nice together with the animal head silhouettes... so.

Up next: We hit the streets of Legion World in search of coffee, cocktails, and counsel (chances are, if you're in the LMB, you could use at least one of the three.)

Is Rocky a type of penguin?!
I ADORE penguins, especially the ones with frillies!

I don't know how you're getting those effects, Ex, but they're awesome!

I'm not the betraying kind . . . though that wouldn't prevent me from being expelled for other reasons, I suppose.

My original name, He Who Wanders, was borrowed from Mon-El/M'Onel, if that's any help.

Great work, Ex.

And if you don't mind, I have a suggestion for mine: an open book.

Great job, Ex!

A rockhopper is indeed a kind of penguin.

Rockhopper Lad himself, well, that's a bit more complicated. The Rockhopper Lad article on the LMB Wiki (and articles linked thereon) explain his origins.

Sweet!

Those are ... really .... cool.
