Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Legion fan art!

Cool, that'll be fun.

I find you can over-manipulate an image too...so I'm going to post this and quit messing with it. I picked a background that reminded me of somewhat of the Crisis you know where.

It's funny you mentioned over manipulating I postef a few versions of a pic of Jan in the december challenge thread that I have been playing with this afternoon I was sure if I should posthere cause I only couloured it and didn't draw it.

I haven't drawn any of these I've been posting. Sure, I'll change a line and maybe a costume but I really try to keep all the original line work I can. Granted, I sometimes do things like changing that Superboy/Triad pic into a Kent Shakespeare pic but all in all they're other people's stuff.

I look at it as an homage to the artists, both fans and pros. I hope like heck they see it that way too.

theres an excellent drawing of dawnstar at heromorph. Here's a link to the pic
Dawnstar Drawing

That's gorgeous Deds, thanks. I can't tell if it's a delicate charcoal on really smooth paper or if it's a watercolor that's been greyscaled. Your friends there are pretty darned good.
(I wonder if I can get that 'oil paint' look on that piece?)

If you're referring to the Al Rio Dawnstar that Lightning Lad posted, that will be a challenge! BTW, there's a larger scan of that posted on Al Rio's website, for anyone intending to color that. I hope some of you decide to give it a shot!

I haven't tried that one yet. I gave the one Dedman linked up a shot and posted it in Greybird's Winged gallery Here it was an interesting challenge, hope you guys like it.

btw- when I first joined up at LW there was a little artwork being done but the forum wasn't getting a lot of traffic at the time but NOW it's hard as heck to keep a thread on the top of the first page.

You guys...ok, US guys kick nass! There's a lot of writing and graphics being done here lately and most of it is really good stuff. It's extremely cool seeing works by the newer members who have jumped in to contribute, thanks Knowjack, Polar Boy, White Raven and others for their artistic contributions. Then there are the writers who have sweated over their text (like Kent, Lantern Lad and Vivian) and brought us visions of alternate Legions and filled gaps in continuity and expanded characterization purely for the love of doing it.

I also want to say "great work" to long time contributors like Sketch, Loser, Dedman, Numf-el, Lash, Harbinger, Semi, Reboot, Cobalt, Monkey Eater and all the others who have made this place such a joy to Legion fans.

It's fantastic! This place is just loaded with talent, great work Legionnaires!

I don't know if this has yet been mentioned, but there's an absolutely incredible Dawnstar drawing to be seen on Al Rio art - commisions. If you can find the site, it's DEFINITELY worth seeing!

I never actually posted this in my thread here so it's as good a reason as any for a -bump-



This thread IS meant as a generic art thread so anybody that feels like dropping in a pic is very welcome to do so. If you'll look through the pages there's quite a bit by several different fans who just felt like doing a little Legion art but didn't want to start a whole thread for just a pic or two.

Welcome to LW, welcome to the 'bits" forum and feel free to contribute!

Two things -
1. Jim Lee's designs for some Legionnaires look GREAT but the images I cropped out aren't very hi-res so they're a little rough but they still look pretty cool so I colored 'em anyway.

2. My monitor's color is off so I'm not really sure how these are going to look on your computers. You guys might need to copy the pics and darken them just a little with your own graphics programs to see what the colors atually should look like.


Saturn Girl by Jim Lee

Lightning Lad by Jim Lee

(it's a bigger file the colors didn't want to be downsized without looking pretty terrible so you get it like this)

Where can i find the jim lee designs? i'd like to micro them.

I don't remember where they came from. Betcha somebody here found it and linked it for us last year or so ...but here are the pages exactly as I copied them whenever it was.

If anybody could link us up to some hi-res versions that would be fantastic.





I colored the Ultra Boy pic a while back even though there's nothing unusual about the costume design. I just liked the sketch. It's probably somewhere in the 8 pages of this thread so to simplify things I'll post it here again.

I'm the one who scanned them from Wizard\'s Jim Lee Millenium Edition .

Higher Res versions -

Most Excellent!!
Thanks in bunches. That'll make coloring them MUCH more fun.

I can e-mail you even larger ones if you need them.

Here are my attempts at coloring Garth's outfit.

The first with an orange cape like YK envisioned him with and the other with a dark blue that I initially thought would look good.

Since I hate white in an outfit (especially when it takes up a large portion of it) I substituted a light blue in its place.

Those are pretty cool Scotty. I like doing homage to the original visions whenever possible. I was really tempted to do the Saturn Girl in the green, yellow and black outfit.



You know...now that I look at that again I think I might have to try that color scheme for Lightning Lad and see how it looks on the Jim Lee design.

I like the orange caped color schemes for LL.

Thanks YK!

Like this?

Yep!
Wow, that's a VERY different look for Garth. After so many years of the Cockrum "Tuxedo" and slight variants it would take some getting used to but I like it.

That design of Lightning Lad so reminds me of Garth's original colour scheme when he was introduced in ADVENTURE COMICS 247 as "Lightning Boy"...

That's what I based the colors on LAM. I'm not so hot on it myself, prefering the blues. This looks more like a holiday outfit to me.

I tried to get a little loose with technique on this sketch and it came out pretty decently, I think.

Jim Lee's Dream Girl is a hottie. I've missed the "Marilyn" look but it appears Jim likes that take on her too.
