Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business RAVEN HAIR Discussion Thread

My favorite three:

Vi commands your gaze.

Ulu. I nominated him for his "strange/cool visual" and I am NOT disappointed.

Leung. I love the pleased-and-flattered smile-with-closed-eyes.


Jungle King looks like he knows what he's doing. I wonder if he's done holo-commercials or something?

There's a bit of an earringathon!

Jaz looks like she has breakout potential.

Rond, you're the rep for non-powered lads. I want you to throw yourself into this like the Earth's water supply depends on it.

The Mystery Girls have the makings of a fine espionage squad. Maybe they could play a prank or two on Dev-Em in their downtime. Ha, ha, ha!

Great introductory pictures, Dean. In general, I liked the women much more than the men: Tinya, Vi, Frake and Leung are excellent. Jungle King is the best of the men. Cosmic Boy, Rond, Star Boy and Superboy are OK, but a bit boring (something does seem to be going on with Superboy's hair, though...) Hopefully they all will step it up once the competition starts. Color Kid looks weird, but good. Night Girl, of course, has great potential with that beehive hairdo of hers, but I hope she doesn't use it in every single competition. And Jazmin... I don't think she made it for me this time. Something else else about her mouth, I think.

If this was an elimination round I would have voted to eliminate Superboy and Jazmin.

If you need a guest host, or a guest judge, how about Jacques Foccard?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the comments, Doc! Jacques has been requested at least a couple times, so I do feel like that rates an appearance (irony!) of some kind.

I am VERY excited about the upcoming challenges! I've pretty much worked out what's going to happen all the way through. I learned a big lesson on the Auburns competition not to do what I consider "repetitive" challenges. I mean, if I have to draw and color the same thing 10 -12 times, I get VERY bored with it! Suffice to say, I think the upcoming imagery is not dull.

So, the first challenge is totally pencilled and written, I just have to scan, color and post. That does take some time. I actually can't wait for the Top 10 challenge now.

Wow, I never would have recognized mystery girl Laurel Kent with the long hair. Has she ever had long hair?

(And technically, shouldn't she *always* have long hair, or does she have some sort of Kryptonian invulnerable-hair-cutting scissors? Huh, I just found a job for Persuader, he can be the hairstylist to the various Kryptonians and Daxamites, since he's got the one thing in the universe that can cut their hair...)

Anywho, enough rambling. Leung is gorgeous. Kid Quantum is also a fave, although I'd like her to look stronger, maybe even with a bit of attitude or sass. I'm kinda partial to the Superboy's Legion take on Tinya, all dark and mischievous, but this works, too.

Captain Frake? Eh. I have no idea who she is.

As for the dudes, Jungle King is working the, uh, leopard-sash-thing-of-space. He's got a bright future ahead of him decorating sleazy romance novels, methinks, staring resolutely into the distance as the sun sets over the carribean seas behind him, wind tousling his hair, ruffly shirt blowing off of him, fair damsel swooning in the foreground.

Until Captain Frakes shows up and shoves fair damsel into the ocean, and sweeps him up so they can go pirating together, anyway.

Here\'s a pic of Laurel K. with long hair.

Some Captain Frake info for those of you who missed that glorious chapter of the Legion saga.

Oh, I'd meant to add that the judges' commentary is never written until after the challenge pencilling is done. The discussions *always* go their own way, I feel like I'm just channelling something.... I can't wait to see how they'll react to the second challenge!

Okay, BLACK AND WHITE BALL has been intro'd! Stay tuned for the actual contest...

That is one sexy picture of Tenz. Like, whoa. I'm really excited for this challenge!!

Wait til you see the top 4's challenge! *tease* tease*

I'm officially 1/3 of the way through coloring the first challenge!

There can no longer be doubt that we need an all-shirtless Tenzil thread, if said doubt ever truly existed in the first place, which I really cannot fathom! Leapin' Jeebus!

Gearin' up for the event here....

I predict early exits for Superbore and Cosmic Cad unless Dean really makes them shine. I'll have to drive the fantastc brown-haired image of Jungle King Dean drew a while back out of my mind (see the LSH board) to get used to this raven-haired King, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Chickwise, I'm looking forward to what Dean's "lens" can make of Frake and Tinya. We already know Jazmin is going to work it.

Glad you're here, Lash!

I'm very nearly done with the first challenge! Whew! There sure are a lot of characters in this thing...

Okay, the Black and White Ball is underway! Please name the male and the female who should be REJECTED from this competition!

Thank you!

I've got to vote out KQ2-- the head thing just doesn't suit her-- and... Star Boy, who reminds me of John Stewart just a bit too much. His style ought to be his own.

Reject Cosmic Boy (he looks good, I just don't like him much lately) and *aarrgghh!!* Jazmin. She was really unique, but I want to see the others continue more. I would really have preferred to reject two guys and keep all the ladies!

Jungle King GGRRRREAT!!

Loved the way the judges had similar looks! Maybe they're competing with one another? The TOP MODEL judges' interaction is as exciting as the models themselves.

So excellent. Dean, This bunch is great.

Well let's do them in order.

Tinya is looking very hip and sophisticated. Although I wonder if she borrowed this dress from Duo Damsel.

Superboy- who doesn't look good in a tux? Can't help thinking that Clark is looking a little awkward and uncomfortable though.

Captain Frake - She is looking a little stiff here. That could be nerves from her first shot at the glamerous life of a top model. Still her outfit is stunning and fitting.

Isn't Thom the hip cool suave dude that all the ladies like?

Lyddia looks like a fabulous debutante. I can see her out on the dance floor in no time doing the Electric Slide and still looking good.

My name is Krinn, Rokk Krinn. I'd like my martini stirred, not shaken, thank you. Psst Kal-el, see how being comfortable in the clothes you are wearing really makes you look so much better.

Vi - Can she look any more butcher? Very crisp and clean with a military feel. It takes the negative of her scar and makes it a positive.

Jungle King - Phew! is it hot in here or is it just me? I can see why you went for just the vest.

KQ, Are you going out on the town or out to clean up an old nuclear reactor?

Color Kid, Work your bad boy self. Can I get you anything?

Leung, Another debutante dress. Very nice.

Rond, Ah going for the period piece to show your time travel prowess. Nice. If you can get Captain Frake to loosen up a bit, you two would make a nice couple.

Oh now to reject. Superboy. He just looks too awkward in his tux. So let's get him out of here so he can slip back into his overalls.

Kid Quantum. Maybe she can help Brainiac 5 out in his lab. She looks dressed for that.

(Edited to include Quis' vote...)

Fun! Immediate response!

Thanks for the comments. The way I was thinking... there was a new hair stylist on staff for the judges, and they didn't even think about how the ladies might feel if they all looked alike. Got away with it, though!

I guess Jazmin's "different" look that pleased the judges isn't helping her much in the vote!

Who should be REJECTED? So far....

Ladies:
Kid Quantum 3 votes

Gentlemen:
Star Boy 1 vote
Cosmic Boy 1 vote
Superboy 1 vote

For this challenge, it feels like the shatshots taken of celebrities as they walk down the red carpet onto an event. It's all in the variety of postures and expressions, I suspect.

Hmm. Reject Superboy, who was just so *tense* under the spotlight, and Jazmin, whose outfit was interesting, well-done, and unique... and so painful-looking I had to wince in sympathy.

Tinya looks a bit nervous, but I guess it's to be expected, since her mom is judging. Cos has sort of a Krinn, *Rokk* Krinn thing going on there... but his expression is just too *earnest*. And Rond is lucky he's got such pretty eyes to distract us from his somewhat uncertain pose.

Everyone else seems to be having much fun with the challenge. Leung especially, who I think looks great. Lydda looks so natural, like you've caught her momentarily distracted by a new arrival, and Vi's got a michevious glint in her eyes to offset her militaristic look. Jungle King is so confident! so shirtless! so... *defined*. And Colour Kid doesn't look scruffy, he looks like a J-pop star.

And I loved the judges, as always. Looking forward to see how this plays out

You know, I was thinking the same thing about Rokk, Pizza Delivery Girl. Taken from The Legion--



It was only a matter of time.

Kid Quantum 4 votes for rejection

Superboy 2
Cosmic Boy 1
Star Boy 1

Wow, fabulous drawings! Love the matching hairdos on the judges, but like someone else, it's a good thing they didn't notice. I've noticed this in other challenges, I really like how Saturn Girl seems to keep cycling through her various looks (even the animated version).

Nice tan lines on Jungle King! Reeow! I actually think Kid Quantum looks quite sophisticated in her outfit. My votes for rejection will have to go to Leung (not a fan of the hair), and Star Boy.

Oh Tinya, very smooth lines, and the black and white contrast for a woman who stands between two worlds, very interesting! No, wait! Boring!! Off with her kneecaps! (And I disagree with mom, the straight hair totally works.)

Superboy. Meh. He's no Mon-El, that's for sure.

Captain Frake looks mighty uncomfortable in that outfit, but I love it!

Star Boy is looking, um, I’m not sure, is ‘swank’ the appropriate term? Either way, he’s got a Miami Vice bad-boy vibe that works here.

Lydda is smashing. Very retro, just like her big hair. Love it.

Cosmic Boy looks like he’s about to get married, and has no clue what he’s walking into. Poor kid.

Vi’s outfit is very Navy of Space. I like it. Ramrod posture there, too.

If that’s what Jungle King wears to a fancy formal dress party, I’m not sure I want to see what he wears (or, more to the point, what he doesn’t wear) while lounging around the house, or at a wilder sort of party. Oy vey, indeed.

Wow, Kid Quantum has borrowed Kid Psycho’s turban. Interesting look. I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or not, but it’s definitely fresh.

Color Kid takes it away. It’s formal enough, but has personality.

Leung looks like she can’t stop laughing to sit still for her picture. I find that charming. (Although I liked her darker complexion and straighter hair in the last picture better.)

Rond Vidar cleans up nice. We should have more cravattes.

Honorable mention to ME-Lad, who could give Jungle King lessons on how to show some skin without looking cheap.

So who to vote out? Can I pretend Superboy is a girl and vote out him and Jungle King? No? Oh well.

Vote out Jungle King and Kid Quantum.

Well, I hate to do it because I so like the idea of him being included, but I vote to reject Star Boy. Neither picture of him did much for me, and he's got a bit of a lazy-eye thing going on that, while it sounds oh, so shallow, just won't do for a Top Model.

The women? I don't want to get rid of any of them. If you pinned me down, though, I'll reluctantly choose Jazmin. She gets extra points for actually covering her rear end, but unfortunately, someone has to go. Like Fat Cramer, I just want to see the others more.

Loved Frake's outfit, very appropriate for her. Vi's, Tinya's and Rond's also, I really like the way these outfits correspond to the wearer's personalities. That's not quite the case with Color Kid (at least not that I know of), but somehow he really pulled it off. I think he is my favourite male contestant. Jungle King and Leung are OK, but I've seen them look better. I have the same problem with Superboy, Star Boy and Cos that I had during the introductory round: they look booring! Cos is a bit better, but Supes and Star Boy look very stiff and uninteresting. As for Night Girl... meh. I also join the camp of those who really didn't like Jazmin this time around (she looks too intergalactic for my taste), but I won't vote for her, because I'd like for her to stick around, I think she really has great potential. Unfortunately, that means I gotta vote for Leung, the only other female that has got any chance whatsoever of getting the boot...(yeah, right...)

Allright, I vote to reject Leung and Star Boy

Thank you all for the comments as well as the votes. I find it all very interesting....

The current standings on who should go:

Ladies:
Kid Quantum II 6 votes
Leung 2 votes

Gentlemen:
