OMG!!!

SPROING

Uh, whoops.

Seriously, Terry: AWESOME! I was beginning to think no one was paying attention to HC. Thanks so much!

When I look at your micro heroes, I kind of feel like... the style... it kind of gives a steampunk sense. Well, not completely steampunk, but as if they come from the same time as the movies "Something else else Wicked This Way Comes" and "Return to Oz".

Doug Wheatley might be a natural for illustrating characters based on your micros.

Steampunk? I could see that.

Doug Wheatley, I love you for saying that!

I saved some of your micros from here as commission references.

My particular fave is the fourth Pagan Lass.

Really? That's great. That was the hardest one to do in the set. That is how I always imagined her. I couldn't get the look to come out, but after trying for a few hours I got that and I am very happy with it.

Well, I have been working hard and got a few done:

1st is LegionWorld's own Saturn Girl. Went with a loose top and fitted mini-skirt because I thought it looked sexy, fun and active. Which I think every LW Founder needs to fight evil:


Lightning Lad:
I saw Sketch Lad's picture of him on his Portrait Thread and came up with this. I learned that lightning is hard for me to do. It's why the edging may not look great. But I am overall happy with it. It's a bit pirate-rocker, but that is never a bad thing in my book:


Ded(dad)man:
Ohhhhhhhhhh...I had made these micros for deddy a while back and they stunk. So I am hoping this one will make up for it. I rather like it, a bit of a change in his design, but I think it still speaks, "Dedman." The cape is tattered and torn, so I made sure the bling was all polished:

Two more.

Well, this one was inspired by Madame Leota, I always thought when she had a body she wore a dress like this. This micro sat around without hair for months...how lazy of me.

Tempest:


This one was hard because I wanted him to look really special...I don't know if I did that, but I hope he likes it.

Legion World's Nightcrawler:

Beautiful micros! May I pretty please use parts of that dress for my Daranya, she's an empress and I have yet to do her royal look. Not all of it, of course, just parts of it.

Good work! I'm enjoying the show. Looking forward to more.

Thanks, I have some ideas, but some are kind of crappy so I am going to mull over them a bit.

Tempest I hope you don't mind me asking, but, what is your character's powers?

Also, do you have an account on a website called Superbuddies.net?

Magic user, writing background info and stuff to reveal when complete.

Yep, but that wasn't a fit for me.

Ah. Thanks.

I love the new version of me...totally full of awesome sauce!!!

Thanks, Ded!!!

Ok, so here are some new micros.

KinetixgreenZoe:
This is how I always imagined I looked as KGZ, this micro can be found in my Revealing Shades story.


Red Arrow:
This design just popped in my head and here it is, I tried to put in the Soul Gem.


Lard Lad:
I tried really hard to come up with some designs, I did about 7 or so sketches, but these were the ones that I liked the most. The first one is Lard Lad (still empowered), the second one is Chief Lardy, he's a bit more demeanor and stern, the third one is Chief Lardy in his armor. I have never done armor before, I thought this micro would break me, glad it didn't, even got it done in one sitting. I incorporated a shield emblem on the chest in all of them (the third as a power core) because he is a Lard Knight and shields remind me of knights.

Those turned out great.

Those turned out great.

I love it! Thank you very much.

those are really awesome!!

Thanks guys!!!

I am glad you like it, I was afraid the design might be a little risque, but there is an edginess about it that was appealing to me.

WOW! The Lardies are FANTASTIC!!!

Thanks, Lardy. Hope you don't mind the shield emblem.

Time for an update.

DivineOpalJanell-

I do love this one, I used a White Witch avatar with her, so it's nice to finally have something that looks like she did in my head. My favorite thing on her are the little pink flowers on her chest.



Sketch Lad-

There is a rainbow light on the chest, not what I wanted at first, I wanted to do something like...remember Jubilee's power from the 1992 X-Men cartoon, something like that, but I wasn't able to pull it off. But the rainbow looks cool, too. This is one of my favorites, I really like how it turned out.



Kent Shakespeare-
Well, it's been what? One or two years since I talked with Kent about what his micro should look like. Sorry for making you wait so long. I used a bigger frame from Kent. Those are suppose to be strips of metal on his jacket's shoulders, I figured they would be small compartments.



Dev Em-
Dev had quite a few sketches before I got one I liked. Very simple, but I think it's chic. The second one is suppose to look like as if it had kevlar padding of something like that on it, which I did after the Red Bee incident. The skin color is not as orange as a normal Durlan's, but still more orange than a Caucasian. (Unless you're on Jersey Shore) The ears come to a point, but not again, as dramatic, I really wanted to incorporate that he's a hybrid of sorts.



Tempest-
I felt that I needed a uniform for my involvement in the LMBP and quit using my good clothes, so this is what I came up with. I did the robe for length, but there is a slit all the way up the middle, so she could walk and run it. Hair took me three days...

Love them. Thank you.

these are cool! i think kent and dev seem pretty dead on and slick.

i want one!!
