Drawing every silver age legionnaire day 8

Element Lad

I really did just mash design elements for just about every Jan to make this one

Green skin from his bendisboot design

Pink white and black colored costume from his original design

The three stripes to make an E for his sw6/reboot designs

The cape cloak shall thing is a mix his threeboot design’s cape and his castle in the sky priest garb

And his interlac E from his later preboot design

The only Jan that I didn’t take from was his green and black costume lol

The interlac E on his cape is ment to be a button or a pin (a brooch?) of sorts keeping the cape together

The cape is removable

He’s got big ol’ alien eyes too accentuate his kind, sweet and a little bit odd personality

Pannel redraw. X Force V1 25.

I read every interaction of these two to understand how they come to be. I'm planing reread some of the oldest ones because late 90's comics are my guilt pleasure. Hopping to encounter them again in the Hellfire Gala.

Accidentally called dumplings "Peking ravioli" in front of my New Jersey coworkers and I had to frantically explain that this wasn't some insane form of esoteric Italo-Chinese racism, that's just what they're called in Boston. Had to take a picture of a menu to prove it.
