Legionnaire's Disease - 31 Days of Legion Insanity

Torchsong

Every now and then even hack artists like myself do little fun "side" projects when they should be working on their books, prints, etc. To keep my artistic "muscles" toned and trim, I'm going to draw a Legion of Superheroes member, one per day, in a boy-girl-boy-girl order. A few of these have moved into the ANTI-CON 2012 thread, but mostly this is just for me as long time lurker, but only recently full-on reader of the Legion, to explore this team up close and personal. I'm going to post my progress (or lack thereof) here...

Bear in mind these are quick n' dirty no-more-that-30 minute sketches with rough inks. Not my usual commission work.

Like, Starshine!

Love all of these, Al. My favorites so far are Comet Queen, Bouncy, and Saturn Girl (particularly because although she may be channeling her powers, she may also be saying "Eyes up here, fellas. (grife.)")

Torchsong

I make no apologies...I love Comet Queen.

Here's some more from this week:




I've really come to love Infectious Lass...I gotta find me some substitute heroes books... :)


I had to do the animated version of Brainy5 because otherwise, in black and white, he's just a dude in a jumpsuit! :)

John_Steed

again: AWESOME!

LibraryBoy

I think Infectious Lass is my new favorite.

I had to do the animated version of Brainy5 because otherwise, in black and white, he's just a dude in a jumpsuit! :)

Sometimes he wears a lab coat... and sometimes he's got a spacemonkey on his back!

I must admit a fondness for Robo-Brainy, despite his being utterly unlike all the other iterations.

It's Studio Fugazi...look for the goofy guy with the fez! :)

My three favorite Legionnaires are in there: Dawnstar, Dream Girl and Shadow Lass. In my book, ya did good!

For some reason I always get ultra boy and timber wolf confused.

How about matter eater lad?

More substitute heroes!

This thread makes me want to break out some legion books and read them.

LibraryBoy

Was happy to see Gates on your latest Facebook post. Now how about Kinetix?

Torchsong

XS is up for tomorrow - I'll see if I can work Kinetix and Matter Eater Lad. One Legion-nut (also a friend from when I was a wee bairn of a lad) is demanding a Saturn Girl in her 70's duds (the swimsuit) and I've threatened to do a Cosmic Boy in the corset as well...

The Testosterone Twins?

Not surprising.

Okay, let's finish this sucker out!


Glorith!


Gates!


XS!


Element Lad!


Shrinking Violet (moved up to scale)


Blok! (I actually like how this one came out)


I'm very, very, very, very, very, very sorry...blame Mike Grell...he created this costume!

AND we finish it out on a high note. Since you suffered through Comic Boy's 70s gear...


... it's only fair we finish out with Saturn Girl's 70's duds. In color no less...

WHEW! 31 days, 31 Legionnaires. It was actually really fun to do, and I learned quite a bit about some of the Legionnaire's I didn't know much about.
