Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business Future's Legion Micros (7/21: Legion Cadets)

loved and still love Chemical King...I think his costume is one of the best Legion ever...green and black - so simple. I remember seeing him wearing a "C" on his belt before...but I cannot recall which issue of SLSH he did have a C belt. so you did a awesome job on Condo! I sure miss him! I was hoping that there is a way that he could be brought back alive...but nah..because we have Chemical Kid now in Legion! *grumble*

As near as I could tell, the 'C' belt was only from the cover of his death issue in S&LSH. That didn't surprise me too much. Going through Condo's appearances, I realized his costume changed literally every artist - sometimes mid-issue. The basics were always the same, but the boot shape, cuffs, belt, and collar would always mutate and the color scheme occasionally shifted.

Instead of doing all the little variations, I just did the most common variation I saw - him going between brown V boots and black standard boots. Of course, the color scheme flipped a lot on both, but it gets the point across I hope.

With that in mind, his Postboot appearances are very amusing. He only made a few small cameos and visits, but when he did he was always wearing the same outfit - just colored differently. His skin color would darken a little as well, usually from page to page. I thought it was just color goofs, which surprised me from McCraw, until I realized they may be paying homage to Condo's constantly shifting uniform. His first postboot micro, a formal look, changed colors (as did Condo himself!) every scene jump we did.

Maybe he was using his power on the pigmentation process of dyes in his clothing and in his skin?

It would be kind of a neat addition to him that he was *always* using his powers-- that he had to really concentrate to turn them completely off.

I'm glad you didn't do a zombiefied version from the 5YL book.

I always wished Grell had given him one of his skimpy costumes- at least for an issue or two. It would completely have made sense for him to go back to his fully-covered uniform, due to his personality. But if Imra would wear what she wore, I think *any* Legionnaire would show some skin.

Maybe Condo could have saved the skimpy costume for
"sessions" with Lyle Lyle was still alive during the beginning of the Grell era, right?

Looking forward to that! Thanks, Future Man... that closet has got to have had at least 50 outfits. You sure you wanna do all those?

Submission 40: CeCe Beck / Thunder

...that hat.

It was floating as near as I can tell in the panel, funny enough.

Never really a fan of the Captain Marvel color scheme on Thunder (though your work on it is great as always), and that's why I'm intrigued by the LSH 116 look. What is the story there? Was that just a civilian outfit? I like that so much better than her costume.

Yeah, it was just a civilian outfit from when she accidentally got transported to her home time. One a young girl would wear in the 85th century, I suppose. Loincloths are the new skirts if Andromeda taught us anything.

sp who'll be next? Timber Wolf?

and dont forget to add the science police uniform !

Timber Wolf is next, but he's going to take me a bit I can tell. You'll see him spring up probably closer to or in November.

Submission 41: Brin Londo / Lone Wolf / Timber Wolf / Furball

Legion Lost already?

I LOVE that Future included the LOSTDCNu!
My favorite looks for Brin were when he had the long hair with the white streaks.
Otherwise he looks a little too much like Jo.

when will we see Wildfire? I think he's the next one after Timber Wolf, right?

He's next, but he may take a little while. Even after all this time I'd say he's only 20% done. He's got a lot more different textures with his suits/armors/effects than other Legionnaires.

COMING IN 2012...(at the rate I'm going)
Wildfire
Tyroc
Dawnstar
Shikari

With Gazelle and the remaining Threebooters thrown in somewhere for variety.

Love how you even have the different hairstyles down pat!

And the explorer outfit... and the swimsuits (3 in Legionnaires 77 alone!)... and her tryout outfit... and her look in Legionnaires 66...

ok, will shut up already

Gotta love updating this thread when I have no micros to post. I'm sure it tricks half the viewers who are hanging out on the main LegionWorld hub into thinking I'm making a legitimate update.


First, Wildfire is about 60% done now. He may still make 2011 yet. He'll add about 20 new micros to the arsenal.

Second, my goal as of right now is to continue making official costumes for Legionnaires until I get to my very last one - be that Dragonwing, Bloodclaw, Sizzle, whoever. After that, it's a toss up. I'll either do my first ever "lap back" and start adding some missing outfits and fun looks for already posted Legionnaires ... OR I may start going through the Legion's history and creating micros for the villains and supporting cast members. I haven't decided yet. Either way it'll be an undertaking, but opinions of what you the viewer would like to see first is appreciated.

Third, it's nearly the one year anniversary of Future's Legion Micros on Legion World. It's about a month and five days away so it may seem premature to celebrate. However, I was making these little guys months before I decided to post them on the board so I'm more having a belated and public congratulations to myself for actually keeping with an art project for longer than a day.

In that regard, I went back and counted the number of Micro Heroes I've made for the Legion. 742! That's not bad, especially considering there's about 100+ more from this past year that are Marvel and other properties that I don't post here.

Lastly, I made my first ever teaser of what's to come as a thank you for all of you who have viewed or commented in the past year. Hopefully this will motivate me to continue as I was starting to lose some steam the last few months.



Here's to many more! Thanks again, Legion World.

DANG IT!!!

Nice preview!

Hey Future - have you thought about doing the Substitute Heroes?

can't wait to see Yera, Jacques, White Witch, Blok, TYROC!!!, Wildfire too....

The Subs will be coming. I consider them Legionnaires both for their 'off panel' time during the Five Year Gap as well as their lengthy tenure assisting the Legion. When I close out the Baxter Legion with Polar Boy, I'll probably then run through Night Girl, Fire Lad, etc.
