Happy Halloween Jeckie-O-Lantern

by Anj
I have been having a blast covering the 5YL Legion on this site and as a result my love of the Legion has been energized.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. One of the reasons is my love of carving jack-o-lanterns. And this year, I decided that I needed to do a Legion jack-o-lantern. Trying to figure out what design to do was a bit of a task.

I initially thought Wildfire as he is my favorite Legionnaire. Then I thought the Legion symbol alone would be interesting. I even toyed with Ferro Lad.

But then I decided that Sensor Girl had the right aesthetic to make a great lantern.

And, I have to say I am pretty pleased with the results! One thing I did with this lantern is carve the 'hair' with varying levels of depth, with no real pattern, just letting the tools do the work. As a result, the hair has a bit of energy and depth while the mask appears smooth.

Here is the lantern as it looks during the day.

And I admit the design is completely cribbed from the Steve Lightle cover of Legion of Super-Heroes #14, the first appearance of Sensor Girl.

I have been calling this my Jeckie-o-Lantern, a pun only I seem to get.

Hope everyone has a happy Halloween!
