Artist's Comments

GO, GREEN RANGER, GO!

Hokay. First off, I take no credit regaurding Zyuranger, Power Rangers or anything related. My last Deviation had some copy-righted materials (in a non-infringing way) and it got taken down, so I'm making my disclaimer now.

In case you can't recognize him, that is the nefarious Green Ranger! Here we see riot police attempting to take him down after a rampage of distruction. However, he is impervious to their counter-offensive and seems to barely notice.

This is the second bit of promotional art I've done for the upcoming project between one Jack Bacon and I. We're taking the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, which we adored as children and completely redesigning it to be an online manga more befitting our matured tastes. Our version will hopefully be truer to the original Super Sentai shows, have more epic action, a cooler look, more compelling character development and just generally be more badass. However, we also intend to not destroy the ideas that made us love the show when we were growing up, so other old-school fans can still appreciate it. We are of course, looking for help and support.

Artistically, this piece held some challenges for me. This is my first real attempt at working the lines out of the piece. It makes me overjoyed that it came out so well. The background isn't nearly as good as I wanted, but the real focus is the ranger, and trying to convey him as scary and powerful. The rubble he's sitting on is done in ArtRage, which I find is excellent if you're looking for a painted look. Hopefully people will FULLVIEW in order to see all the detail I tried to put into it, such as the texturing on the cape. (speaking of which, not all the rangers have capes, just the Green, and it will probably retract.)

What I loved about the green ranger of the original Power Ranger series was the fact his weapon double as some sort of flute/wind instrument and could summon his godzilla-like machine to do his bidding. lol.

I also love the extra details in this image, notably the design on the bottom of his sole. You'd think you wouldn't pay attention to things like that, but it sorta draws you in. (Imagine, of all the impressive art in the image, the thing I'm attracted to the most are the bottom of his boots. XD)

Very nice overall. Your joint project sounds intriguing. Can't wait to see more about that later.

Kazuo: Those... those're wiretaps! Uwaah! Those perves listened to me busting a solo on my meat flute last night!
Nobuto: F***, man. In my case it was a duet.
Toki: Uh, you guys are missing the point...

Yup. Those riot police don't stand one eensie chance.
I am digging that CAPE! And the little details in his armor that you made shiny. You did a really excellent job! I agree, the lines aren't apparent at all. Nothing to distract from the color. That's the other thing. It's nifty how he stands out amidst all that darkness.

Oh, rest assured, his flute still does that. Among other things. >.> I don't know if my brother has decided on this, but I believe our version of Tommy may be much more of a musician, so to speak.

As for his sooole, that really comes from this weird thing I have about not wanting an area of a character's design not to look too bare. The designs of the Rangers in our version are based off the outfits worn in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie, though the green ranger is, of course, signifigantly different. Still, in the film, the bottoms of thier shoes were flat and I just thought that was way too simple and l4me. I mean, if it's there, why not do something to it to make it worth seeing, right? The only thing is, my brother said since I put the green ranger's symbol on the bottom of his shoes, I have to put everyone elses' on theirs... and everyone elses are way more complex... -_- I don't know if anyone noticed, but that's actually the White Ranger's symbol on his heel... foreshadooowing...

This is more than likely be where my signature would be if I was motivated or clever enough to put one in. As I am not, I have merely wasted your time. ^_^

There's actually one of the guys in there with a bazooka. I don't know if it will help.

And I like the cape too. I actually stole thel ook from LORD ALKANPHEL [link] ALL HAIL ALKANPHEL UNQUESTIONABLE LORD OF THE EARTH.

I can understand how you don't want any area to look dull, but at the same time, sometimes simplicity is best. Having something to cover in each area might actually ruin the image in my opinion.

And considering I haven't watch the PR since I was in elementary school, I don't even remember what symbols they have. XD

Your art just keeps getting better and better. You did an amazing job keeping any black outlines out of this. Awesoooome. ^___^

Wooooooow. He is quite beautiful. I wouldn't wanna have to fight him >.<

Thaaaaaaaaaaankyooou. ^___^ It took some doing and a whole lot of layers, but I managed to make all the pesky little kines go away. Though, it certainly doesn't look as crips because of it, but that's okay.

Yeah, I would expect it to be one of those really time-consuming things, like removing lined paper lines from pencil drawings . . . ><;; You did a fantastic job, though, especially keeping details in using only colour.
