Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Fresh Faces Discussion Thread

Loved the judges comments. Sarya: He's handsome enough. Maybe a bit skinny.

It's difficult to choose just two. Too difficult. Sigh...

From the girls I liked Jordana and Nightwind the most. Jordana is a new and very interesting face and Nightwind is gorgeous and exotic and sexy!
Winner: Jordana.
Not winner: Ayla.

It's more difficult with the boys. I know who I'll vote for "not winner" (don't like the word loser) but choosing among Brek, Chuck, Kantuu and Dvron? Hmmm.

Brek is shiny and sleek and very handsome.
Chuck is very sexy and masculine and powerful-looking.
Dvron shows a side of him, the devilish one, I never thought he had.
And Kantuu's scene is just wonderful.

OK. Winner: Chuck
not winner: McCauley

(If I could pick a second one, it'd either be Dvron or Brek. Probably Dvron).

Heh! Thanks for the votes, everyone. I'll post an update soon.

Yeah, Dain, I'm all jaded. I blame the Legion with the way they "REJECT" sentients. I believe in using terms like "most favorite" and "least favorite" but I suppose we're putting these Fresh Faces through the paces by saying winner and loser.

Okay, current standings...

Oh, I know. I've used the word "loser" or "reject" a few times myself.

Thank you. Votes are counted and polls are still open.

Thank space! 'Cause I'm re-reading the Bierbaum's run of LEGIONNAIRES (1 & 2 done so far) and am already getting mucho ideas...

Mega... X-Bomb Betty... Cera Kesh... The "Hand" gangmember with the blonde soul-patch (let's call him "Lefty")... Plaid Lad....

poor Sketchy!

Comments in order of preference:

1. Chuck. What a surprise! Chuck has never been a favourite of mine, but I think his bold choice of attire works for him. Like the stubby face.

2. McCauley. LOVE the background, this is exactly where he should be. And he looks surprisingly good in plain clothes. Loose hair also works for him.

3. Devlin. I wouldn't have recognized him if his name hadn't been mentioned, but it doesn't matter, the picture is wonderful.

4. Kantuu. Love those fiery eyes. A very good setting for him.

5. Nightwind. Like that haughty pose. But in this round I much, much prefered the men.

6. Chu. Lovely as well, I like the dark mood of the scene. She's really pulling this off...

7. Jordana. Meh. I guess I'd like to see more of her.

8. Ayla. Nah, her retro-attire is not doing it for me. It just looks boring. She can do SO much better!

9. Brek. The proportions are all wrong, the chest is too big, the head too small. Too bad, because I'd really like to see more of this contestant.

10. Supergirl. Too bad she's my loser this round, I'd like to see her in subsequent challenges. But she just looks frozen in flight.

Excellent choice on the type of competition (i.e. putting them in situations from previous contests). I think you should use this device again.

I much, much liked the men this time around, so I'm afraid of the consequences that this vote are going to have. Anyway, here are my votes:

Best: Chuck and Nightwind
Worst: Polar Boy and Supergirl

POLLS CLOSED!!!

We have results....

For Female Winner... a tie between Chu and Nightwind. I am the tie breaker, and I choose Nightwind!

For Male Winner... a tie between Kantuu and Chuck. I'm the tie breaker, and I choose Kantuu!

The winners receive the benefit of an EXTRA HOLO as their prize. Recall the early discussions about this contest if you'd like a hint as to what the subject of their holo will be.

More results....

Female Reject... A tie between Kara and Ayla. I'm the tie breaker, and I choose Ayla!

Male Reject... a pretty clear choice.... Brek!

The rejects receive a farewell holo as a consolation ...prize?

Stay tuned!

The bonus holos have been posted! I've also pencilled the next challenge and judges' commentary. I still have some details to reference and complete, then it'll take time to scan and color everything. So, hang in there!

Oh, I just love the farewell holos. They were faboo! Even though I voted for them to leave, I'm going to miss Ayla and Brek.

The bonus holos for Nightwind and Kantuu were BEYOND fab!

I *loved* the Light Lass/Kid Heavyfeathers farewell!!

Your hint at a pairing between the Empress and Kantuu makes me wish such a thing had happened in the comic! THAT would have been a pretty dangerous duo.

So, have we lost the Empress as a judge? That last holo of her is amazing, she'd do great as a contestant one of these days. I wonder if Kantuu is going to take her harassment without reacting.

Don't mind seeing Ayla go, but I'm sad about Brek. Oh well, on to the next round.

I LOVE these competitions, thank you, Dean!

Wow! I've never seen the Empress so...smitten with anyone. The thought of her and Kantuu together is, I don't know, "out of this world" I wish I could see them in the comic!

Kantuu and Nightwind are absolutely gorgeous!

The Empress really seemed to be enjoying the holos for once, and her crush on Kantuu just happened to be the finale of that sequence. The question is... what will happen next?

Thanks everyone, for the comments about the bonus holos. It was a great idea (not mine). Of course I use the data from the initial "surveys" as inspiration.

I'll post hints about the next challenge soon.

I just posted the intro for the next challenge called "Close Encounters." I'm currently coloring the holos, having fun.

SAME STUFF, DIFFERENT DUDES & DAMSELS

Ayla. While I can't find fault here, this pic just doesn't grab me. It's like, not love.

McCauley. His hair space-bugs me...far too artfully tousled for my tastes. Otherwise, it's a fine portrait (not just picture) of Mccauley.

Jordana. A fine introduction photo for the newest kid. I'll expect to see more of what she can do (I don't necessarily mean with her mpower ring) in future challenges.

Brek. I don't think this challenge worked too well for the guys originally and...no. My male vote for OUT.

Nightwind. I agree with Marte: she looks confident. Very flattering coloring, too.

Dvron. Nice mix of naughty-n-nice. Very good. Would have given the Autumn Auburn guys a run for their money.

Supergirl. This is her forte, but this holo...no. [No, no, no. My female vote for out.

Chuck. Okay, I did chukle at the Chuckster, but don't play the "guy wearing overly-revealing outfit for to make you laugh" card again. Once is okay, twice will get you bounced. Got it?

Chu. This one ain't camera shy, that's for sure. Also liked the background coloring here.

Kantuu. Is this dude photogenic or what? Chuck, I think you're going to be fighting him again -- he seems to have some sly comedic leanings.

No deliberations necessary for the guy winner...I knew it was Kantuu right away. For the gals, though, it could have been Chu, Nightwind, or Jordana.

Oh, yes, I love Lester. Lester! You gotta come back, the Empress has run off and someone's gonna need to kick Cos. (Don't need to be Naltorian to know that.)

Teeds, thanks for posting your reviews of the holos.

The next holos are done! Now I need to finish the judges' panels. Probably ready to post in the next couple of days...

Round 2 is posted... Close Encounters. Sort of a "Beauty and the Beast... of Space!" challenge. However, we wouldn't want to call any sentients a beast now, would we?

Please name your:

FEMALE CHALLENGE WINNER
FEMALE REJECT

MALE CHALLENGE WINNER
MALE REJECT

The most and least favorites get bonus holos

Polls will remain open all weekend. Enjoy!

Winners: Chu and Chuck. I really wanted to vote for McCauley and Nightwind so they'd either get extra winner holos or reject holos, but Chu and Chuck made me laugh more.

Rejects: Kara and Dvron. Just didn't like Kara's body builder look and I think I felt sorry for Dvron. He looked a bit deer in the headlights.

I'm amazed all those judges are getting along! They must be entirely captivated by the contestants.

Best: Chuck & Kara

Worst: Nightwind & Dvron

I loved the Kantuu picture but it was because of the Empress not Kantuu. And that's why I didn't pick him for best. I also liked the McCauley picture. I was hard pressed to pick a winner for the females. None really looked all that good to me.

The judges' comments were very delightful.

Winners: Chu & Chuck
Losers: Jordana & McCauley

Chu has this expression on her face-- I love it! I also love Gates as her partner. He space rawks~ They just have hilarious chemistry and she's definitely becoming a front-runner for me.

Chuck, ohmigod. Ohmigod. Sketchy, this may be my favorite holo of all time. Seriously, I defy anyone to dislike it! So brilliant. And while Chuck's co-star adds to it, he definitely steals the show (as any holo model potential should).

On the other side... Jordana really disappointed me. I just don't feel anything from her holo. And, while I'd love to see more of her, I'm just not sold. There's definitely something missing here.

And, finally, McCauley. All I can say is that Tangleweb steals the holo from him. And he looks like a slimy git, which fits him but... not the kind of model I want winning the competition! No thanks.

Other comments about other competitors:
--) Dvron... eh. Nothing special there. Not great but better than McCauley for me.
--) Nightwind was definitely a close second to Chu for me. She was just... beautiful and serene. I loved her expression, make-up, outfit-- everything! I felt her emotion this time, for sure.
--) Kantuu nearly beat out Chuck! I absolutely adore this holo. Just their expressions and the way that you played with size and... yeah. Brilliant.
--) I nearly voted to eliminate Kara again because she just isn't doing it for me. I can't explain but... I don't like it. Not at all.
