I think I like the simplicity of his first and postboot uniforms and I've never understood how someone who wants to be hidden would wear yellow. I wonder what it would look like if the black and white were reversed, though? Something else else a little like the TMK era's but maybe more interesting. The Magic Wars outfit is certainly distinctive and beautiful.
A singin' and a dancin' along the way.

With Jacques, I was surprised just how many variations he had. For example, I didn't realize how many differences between his Retroboot and DCNu outfit there were. I think that makes him one of the most tweaked Legion designs randomly aside from Mon, Jo, and the new kids. Likewise, I didn't realize how many different color and hair looks he had until his first mission (Great Darkness Saga) wrapped.
I really wish his official Legion animated model had a bigger screenshot somewhere. It looks like such an interesting design but something is lost in the small size and thus in my translation.

I DID do the reverse I suggested. It's on my micro thread if you're interested. You make my life so much simpler!

Originally posted by Candlelight: I think I like the simplicity of his first and postboot uniforms and I've never understood how someone who wants to be hidden would wear yellow. Maybe for the contrast? When he IS visible he wants to make sure he's noticed. (More likely the artist feels this way than Jacques.)

Looks fine, but maybe they shied away from it because back in the day Tyroc and Jacques were blessed exceptions from the then-cliche of black heroes wearing black and having "black" in their names.

Speaking of Tyroc, I always assumed Jacques' costume change from white/black to yellow/black was to differentiate him from Troy. Likewise with the streak in his hair.
Progress is being made on White Witch. She's about 75% done.

I just realized, Kono was wearing the Amethyst costume, was there a shot where Mysa actually wore the costume?

Mysa wore it in her last Glorithverse appearance as she fought Mordru - Legionnaires #18.

Beautiful, as always. Mysa is an amazing character, interesting in every incarnation, imo. I would have loved to see her in more stories over the years.

How is it that the possessed Mysa looks so much better as a micro?

Sorry I don't have more to show. I'm working on a lot of new templates right now (Tellus, a younger male for Magnetic Kid) so I don't have a lot to offer aside from Quislet. When I lap back later, perhaps I'll include some of the various forms he's assumed over the years.
I'm also thinking of making a 'smaller' Quislet so that he'd fit in a bit better with the other micros. Right now he's a bit bigger than normal.

I'm amazed at how well you capture the little details, like the hair!

To give credit where its due, the hair is some of the stuff I work on the least. I may recolor it or add or remove a strand, but most of the hairs were previously created.

No wonder Ayla went after him. She figured he'd fit in perfectly back home at Winath! Being younger/smaller, maybe he also looked a little like Vi...

I like how you included his death as a 'look' haha!
I just went and double checked Nemesis Kid and you remembered his skull look too ! haha you're awesome.
... although now I wonder why he had a skull head since he should've just had a broken neck and ... Magnetic Kid should've had the skull head.
... discrepancies illuminated by your awesome micros!
