Description Is anyone else getting confused with the constant category changing here on DA? It seems like every time I update, I have to use a different category...and many are redundant. >_O

One of these days I will do Legion fanart that does NOT include Brainy...maybe of Chameleon Boy; he's my second favorite...

This came about when I was watching the recent ep "Who Am I?" and saw Brainy in his tech chair. I don't know about you, but I thought Kid B5 in his floating eggshell was just adorable. Teen B5 however, is EVIL INCARNATE. And it doesn't help that the chair itself is a freakier egg than the last one. I swear, I kept flashing back to James Bond movies with that guy and his cat. I even half expected Brainy to say "Welcome, Mr. Bond" when he first floated in. But no, instead he says an unsettling "when I'm done with him" kind of line that creeps even poor Chameleon Boy out, and proceeds to outline a plot that is borderline insanity. And his little comment about evil being possible in everyone at the end of the ep didn't help either. *shudder* This coupled with Kell-El's hint at Brainiac 5's name being infamous in the future is making me begin to worry that the series is gonna go Silver Age on us and drive the poor guy insane/evil for a short time. LOOK OUT BRAINY, THE CREATORS HAVE IT OUT FOR YOU!!

By the way, I substituted the cat for Koko, Brainy's pet monkey-thing from some comic book arc...I couldn't find a good pic of it, so I borrowed off 's design at [link]
EDIT: Whoa, I was rewatching the first season, and I found a mention of Koko! When poor Brainy's going nuts in his containment chamber in "Brain Drain", he yells "I want my Koko!!" Ha! I wonder if he does have a pet at home then.../Edit
I was considering putting "Welcome, Mr. Bond" in script on the actual art, but I decided that I didn't want to clutter it with the text of an inside joke, so I made it the title instead...I can't help it; he looks like such a spy villain in that chair...

Lighting is from the bottom! Whoa, I'm branching out! This was due to the fact that bottom lighting leaves a rather creepy effect, and as I'm going for borderline evil here, that helped. But dang, it was hard trying to figure out how to shade someone INSIDE an oval from below...

I have discovered the key to cool backgrounds. Rip off a screenshot. ^_^ I got the inspiration for this from the background when Brainy first shows up with that chair. I simplified, but it works. And unlike many other BGs of mine, this one took maybe ten minutes...tops. I love it when they're both fast AND cool.

But dang, this has gotta be the most symetrical, geometric thing I've ever done yet in this gallery...DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO SHADE PERFECTLY SYMETRICALLY? At least in my style? Wait, Don't answer that.

Brainiac 5 is copywrited to DC comics, Warner Bros, and anyone else who's armed with a lawyer and a hand in this series.

EDIT: Have any of you seen season two ep 8, "Message in a Bottle"? I WAS RIGHT!! I just wasn't expecting to be so right so quick! ((O_o)) Poor Brainy...that's going to be a problem come the season finale...

EDIT #2: HAVE SEEN DARK VICTORY I. UM... ((O_O));
Can I call it or what?? The first ep forecasted all this...
Will refrain from further comment until DV part two...

EDIT #3: I saw that coming, and yet I wasn't actually expecting them to DO it. When "Fear Factory" aired in season one, I wondered about his Pinnochio complex, but jeez...they actually changed his character...
This pic still fits a lot.

It's pronounced the same; unless it was spelled out, you wouldn't know. But with all the random references around, I wouldn't be suprised if it was a Koko reference. But that's my opinion. ^_^

Thanks!

mystryl-shada In reply to flareyphoenix-ghost [2008-04-27 20:24:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I've seen them. I doubt those writing the subtitles really understood the reference (it takes a Legion fan who knows about other storylines), and just spelt it the only way they know the sound to be spelled.
But really, it could go either way, depending on how you look at it. ^_^ It just makes more sense to me for it to be Koko.

Ho snaps, I was looking at your B5 pics and saw your edit about the Koko thing! O__O

I watched Brain Drain a while ago and I guess I forgot about Koko xD;; Otherwise I would have realized that "I want my Koko!" is referring to the pet. o__o

awsome job on this. "message in a bottle" pretty much cleared it up that he is going to go evil. His crazy-bad smile at the end of the ep? it tells all. poor Brainy.

mystryl-shada In reply to ZeroVisability [2007-12-02 20:13:05 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh yeah. That was creepy. And no one suspects he could be evil, because he just did a reeeally major good deed. This is going to have consequences...
And his wiping Superman's memory? I'm sorry, but the little flashing light on his shoulder was really freaky...
Oh, and I'm loving how his default response to questions he doesn't want to answer is "A lot of information was lost during the Great Crisis..." Its getting to the point that whenever he says that, just assume he actually knows the answer and is just holding out.

oh yeah, no one suspects Brainy. and the flashing light was way creepy plus when he said "I'm sorry I have to do this, superman." was kind of creepy. i thought he was going to punch him out or something! yikes. i still can't wait for the next episode to see if he really does turn to the 'dark side'.

Saw the ep. I don't know how someone can be so stupid by being so smart...it was definitely hinted at the end that Brainy's delved a little too deep into his Brainiac programming, and may have gone over the deep end. Evil smile...*shudders*

mystryl-shada In reply to OrangeBlueCream [2007-12-07 02:56:54 +0000 UTC]

You mark my words; he either did that because he plans on using something there in the future, or he's throwing people off the Brainiac trail. I did find it interesting that when Brainy said that he "tapped into a part of himself that he'd been afraid of" Superman looked kind of worried. So I'm not positive that Brainy's gone 100% Brainiac, but the Brainiac part of him is certainly pullling more strings than we'd like. It's a signature of this guy to do things that look completely insane and have it all make sense ONLY at the very end when EVERYONE'S ready to kill him. If it makes sane sense at all...

Brainy will always be my favorite character but i still thought that episode was creepy. The show is still awesome but...it seems like there isn't as much fun as there was in ithe first season. This pic is funny...even though it proaably isn't supposed to be. i love his face and the lighting

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mystryl-shada In reply to KisaSohmaCookie [2007-11-17 03:06:33 +0000 UTC]

According to a friend of mine, the reason it isn't as much fun is because the creators are trying to mimic various periods of comic book eras. The first season was Silver Age, which was a little more goofy all around. This season is Bronze Age, which was full of angst, gloom, and dark action. A lot of characters died, were maimed (as evident so far by what happened to Lightning Lad), and/or held dark secrets (Brainy?). So no, definitely not so much fun. But interesting, at least.

And don't worry; I meant for there to be some humor to this pic. ^_^ Thanks for the comment!
