Hello Drake. I fell in love with the Fatal Five drawing you did a few years ago and colored it recently (hope you don't mind).



I echo all the sentiments here that you're extremely talented. You should become independently wealthy, quit your job and devote all your time to drawing Legion images.

I certainly don't mind at all. Unfortunately, the link doesn't seem to be showing anything. It's not just me is it?

I don't see it too either!! *cries* I wanna see!!

Crumb-bumbles... I DID have the image thumbnailed, but the link didn't last. I have always had trouble on LW placing images...operator error

Let's try this...



... from the drawing on Page 6 of this thread.

With the color, Sarya dominates that picture. Everyone else looks like her backup singers or something.

Not that this is a complaint...

She is the one whose last name is Empress, or, if we're being informal, 'your majesty.'

Nifty! Looks great! I especially like how you handled Empress's eyes.

Thanks. I had a lot of fun with it, and of course it's easy to build a rickety shack when you have a great foundation!

Empress was the most fun. I tried to give her a misty aura to match the planetoid surroundings (only for her in green of course). I also wanted The Eye to dominate her own eyes, and including the paleness of her complexion to suggest maybe the Eye is dominant over her rather than vice-versa. Mano I wanted to color a little ghoulish, looking a little dirty/decrepit like some agent of death. Tharok I tried to make more true to the old 4-color printing look of the old pulp comics, with a Terminator robot half. This Persuader version is my favorite as far as costume and colors go - a look of a modern Samurai introduced by Mr. Giffen. Validus is Validus, angry because of his yellow teeth.

Because I had some spare time at work:

Colour me jealous (both of Jo and your skill!)

The FF drawing and coloring are beautiful.
The green shimmer is especially wonderful.

That's a cute drawing of Jo and Tinya, too.

Such a wonderfully talented young man!

Love the Jo and Tinya. So much attitude! Jo looks like he's about to totally beat up some fool who was looking at Tinya the wrong way!

Love them all, Drake. Shades of Ditko in some of the designs!

They seem more stylized and deliberately exagerrated in proportions than some of your previous work. It's awesome how you can change styles like that, and stretch your talent in other directions!

My favorite is the Nova picture. Very cool.

The backgrounds on the Machine Man and Sunfire pics are also neat, and the '3D' effect on your signature on the 3D Man pic is totally cool. I love that sort of detail!

Woooooooooooooooow. That is some awesome and very creative artwork, Drake! Love how each is so different yet keeping to a similar "theme" in the design.

These ARE so amazingly interesting to look at!
Fun!
I'm glad Set named them.
Once I knew, the Nova and Sunfire were obvious and wonderful.
The other two are great too, I just don't remember/recognize them.

I always love your work and long to see more.

I think 'The Ballad of Hate-Face' is one of my favourite Legion-related pieces of art EVER.

My entry over on the Legion Encyclopedia project. Guess who??

That is just beautiful, man! Your art never ceases to impress.

Wow, that is incredible. Sleek, powerful, muscular. Drake's the Lambourghini of superheroes!
