Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business DrakeB3004 Fan Art

Love the clean pencils and poses and anatomy on your pics, man. Already so much better than several artists already in the biz.

I wanna know who the people are in this post!

The top two in particular look interesting. There's some sort of story behind the asian-esque designs on the dudes epaulet, and the flying girls enshrouding shazam-cloak / poncho / thing and pony-tail are an awesome visual.

Set, those are Emerald Dragon, Laurel Gand and Jewel, aka Jo Nah, Laurel Gand and Mysa Nal. These were their visuals during the infamous Legion on the Run storyline in very late V5.

There were lots and lots and lots and lots of problems with that story, but I still thought there was some fun going on. I call it a space romp.

Naturally, DrakeB's art makes them look even cooler than they were in the books.

Great new set of pics Drake! Wildfire looks really dynamic! So does Dr. Mid-Nite. I think the Doc/Wildfire/GL pick is my favorite.

I wish you were the new Legion artist! Or hell, the new JLA one!

Drake, do you have an actual comic book penciler portfolio? Have you tried to pursue that?

I pursued it for a little while after I got out of school, but only managed a gig in a couple of issues of some small press publisher (it was an anthology book, so I wasn't even the main artist. One of the other artists on the book was Adam Dekraker though). I eventually gave up when I found I could actually make money in advertising.

I used to have a comic book portfolio, but it's all really old stuff.

Thanks. I couldn't remember. I always look forward to your art being posted here.

From the "Legion of America" Gallery series:

And because I wanted to see what they all looked like together:

I love the Gates.

ROM!!

Wow! I need to take some more time and appreciate the beautiful work around here.

Nice job Drake!

I haven't updated this thread in awhile so...

These two are from the Lightning Lass Gallery. I drew the first, but thought Ayla needed more of a payback -- hence, the second drawing:

XD!! Drake man, those are awesome! Oh i've been meaning to tell you, I love love LOVE your Wildfire picutres a couple of pages back. I've seen them a while ago up on some other sites and I've actually wanted to use some of them for some baners. Would you mind if I did? I'd credit you of course man.

Not to be all whiney, but when I saw that this thread was updated, I was hoping it'd be with something new.

But hey it's all good work tho' so :-p Sides who doesn't love Drakes art work? The guy kicks major bootah. Even old work is good.

Yeah, sure - no problem. I actually ran across my work on another website just recently - it was surprising, but pleasantly so.

Sorry -- things had been very busy lately with all the wedding hoopla. It's finally over, so maybe I'll have some new stuff soon.

These are all spectacular (and most are new to me).

I especially like this one:



Do you have other "themed" Legionnaire group portraits?
