The Emerald Legion

Some pictures I made while ago:
The Legion of Super-Heroes when the Legionnaires had been posessed by the Emerald Eye

Shrinking Violet, Element Lad, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy


Star Boy, Spark (Lightning Lass), Invisible Kid, XS, Mon-el, Brainiac 5

Shrinking Violet (colour variant), Ultra Boy, Triad (Triplicate Girl), Chameleon Boy


This emerald version of the legion appeared only twice (in Legion of SH 84 and Legionnaires 40) in 1996.
Back then I was so amazed by the attuned design of the costumes that I made my templating within only three nights.

A pity, that the page from LSH on the right was coloured only in one shade of green.

Info about plastic standees

The plastic standees, that will hold your card board figures, don't have always the same exact width.
Thus I add some card board stripes to the shipping.

If the figure is too lose in the standee, please add a little strip in the back of the bottom of the figure. 
Please cut these stripes to the appropriate wideness of the figure base and put both (figure and stripe) carefully into the plastic standee. (The additional small stripe should be on the back of the figure to not cover any printed part.)

I also add some miscut figures to your shipping, so that you can first experiment with it. Actually it is not that hard or complicated.

Creating Templates

There are definitely various ways to create templates. This is just my way to do it. This is just an example and a description how I make mine with the help of other artwork. 1. Scanning I scan the original artwork, I'd like to create an template from. In this example it's Element Lad by Ron Frenz. 2. Change of Colours First the scanned picture is turned into a grey-scaled picture. Then back into a RGB- or CMYK-mode. The grey colours are turned into blue and the brightness is encreased. Finally this version is printed out. 3. Drawing On the print-out I draw directly the outline of the template with black. 4. Second Scanning The print-out with the black outline is scanned and the blue shaded pixels are erased. The different dark grey/black pixels are all coloured to one 100% black.

Creating the Characters by using Templates

1. Print Out

I'm printing out the templates in a light blue.

Several images can be put next to each other.

2. Drawing Details

On the printed templates I am drawing the details of each figure.

First with a pencil, then with a black or red pen.

3. Scanning & Colour Erasing

The drawing is scanned and the white parts are

marked by a colour mask and are erased.

I use different layers:

Layer 1 with the original template,

layer 2 for the scan with hand-drawn details

I can adjust layer 2 according to the blue

outline onto the template of layer 1.

Now the blue parts on layer 2 can be erased.

Finally the different grey and black shaded

pixels are all coloured to 100% black.

4. Colouring The fillings are done on a third layer.

5. Shading Same about shading:

new layer with a certain translucency.

I usually use different layers

for shading on black and other

colours.

(e.g. dark blue shade on black /

black lucent shade on purple /

light blue shade on white)

6. Scaling Down

Before uploading the picture to this blog I resize it to approx. 10%
