Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Power Boy's Sketch Book.

I sketch like crazy but, I'm trying to get in the hang of doing more refined work again ... and i've been inspired by LW lately SO ...


Since Future requested one (sort of)




I imagined his screen name was a play off of the book 'the once and future king.

< btw this is just my version of the name .. what i was thinking of to do the sketch ... it might not coincide with Future King's idea of his character/screen name>

so ... i made his outfit like a knights ... but a bit more alien and futuristic. <he's got the space suit esque collar> the logo on his chest is a serpent biting it's tale .... a little different from the usual hourglass or clock to symbolize time. I thought if he were from the future he's be a alien looking, elongated, and icy because the stars at the end of time will be cold. Originally i thought he might be shadowed by alternate timeline personas, or shades of alternate futures ... which got turned into a 'time cloak' of stars and a window to other realities. Also, his face is obscured because you can't know the future <ha ha>

my imaginary version of this name is that he's like the spectre or the question ... a bit more big time and abstract than the mainstream super heroes.


here's the quick concept sketch i did to start ...

And I've been working on Power Boy's costume for e v e r.





.. and his hair looks a lot bigger on screen. ?

I don't think it's bad, I grew up watching Digimon and other anime and it seems typical to me.

Love the PB costume!

And the ouroboros (snake eating own tail) is a really cool touch on Future King's costume.

Power Boy, I have one little request.

Please post more of these.

I love these, they are awesome, and that pic you did of Red Bee's assault, I loved it.

These are great!

Yes! That belongs here, as well, if I can be so bold:

very cool, peebs!

thanks everybody!!

I love future king, especially the worm's eye perspective.
The bottom of his feet are so cool!
His hair and the shadows and cape.
Actually, everything about your concept and execution in that picture is wonderful.

I'd love to see a background setting to match.
Thanks for sharing your work.

Wahoo! More sketches and character designs. Thanks for jumping into the ring, PB.

I especially would love to see more of Future King and his "time cloak". The imagery possibilities!

This might sound weird, but this reminds me of Martin Nodell's art.

Missed this on the first go round. Good stuff, PB... love the "Bee Battle".

Latest for the Dark Oval story.

<I just realized I forgot to give Sharky an awesome Shark Fin Mohawk! oh well next time>

This ones on newsprint and I had to photograph it cause my scanner is not working. so It turned out a bit dark.



This is Titus, an uber villain trailing the LMB, who are travelling via merchant ship. Power Boy has just arrived to give the LMB very bad news. Here he's meeting Shark Lad, Lolita, and Time Teller Lad.

Awesome, PB!

First draft for a map of UP/Dark Oval space for the Dark oval Novella

It just doesn't get more awesome!!!

Attempt # 2

Oh yeah, it DOES! ^That's just about perfect, ain't it?

Soooo very cool PB!!!

It's clear, direct, and beautiful! It would be quite a project, but do you think someday we could map out major parts of the LMBverse?

Wow, PB, you KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!

You really have it perfect! Lardy is right--you nailed it! It looks to be absolutely accurate, and really is just utterly perfect.

It's so amazing to see what I've scribbled onto paper so many times actually put into a real map!

I'm so thrilled, I'm beside myself!

PS - I'm totally inserting that image into my meeting post where I explain the geography!

That is just beautiful, Power Boy!

If that doesn't earn you an immediate appointment as the LMB Secretary of Cartography, I call into question our entire system.

wow. thanks!! glad i got it right.

This thread is gathering dust .............
