I really don’t know why you called this thread Practice “Junk” because it’s not junk, this is awesome work.
I kinda wish i knew who all these characters were so i could appreciate the quality of your work to the fullest and refer to them with their proper names. I love the ‘girl’ in your last post and ‘the purply-blue robot’ (sorry), the texture is amazing!
I don’t know why i didn’t see that earlier.
It’s a shame lots aren’t complete.
Keep this up! But maybe with a few more finished ahem…
Oh Cruger, you gotta watch Power Rangers SPD for him, he’s the shit. Kando’s a different story… very generic hip-hop influenced otaku blue hair chick from my virgin artist days of when I was 13… Wow I was horrible… still am. I’m developing some comics for my Chain Ranger project right now. That too is generic, sad isn’t it. But I REFUSE to indulge in my own work. It’s really unnecessary.
Chain Black, almost finished. I did a BG here but it’s funky looking with it on. I’ll add it later.

kandoken: I have one thing to say – I LOVE YOUR NOSES (at least, those pieces that do have noses). Damn fine work.
Damn, thanks Bowie! I’ll be honest, I think I only draw faces to get to the nose, and see if I’ll continue from there, cuz I noticed if I don’t like them, I’ll stop. Weird huh?
I just decided to continue this Kori drawing and realized there were like 50 million mistakes in it. Man… I think it was a mistake for me to continue it…
Welp, here it is.

Nice man. See how much you are progressing.
Very nice kori. Only thin i gotta say is watch the connection of hues on the wrinkles. The red wrinkles aren’t connecting to the blue ones. Only thing i see, but otherwise you got nice stuff going on here.
Dood, I have you to thank for it. But I can’t give you ALL the cred though, it wouldn’t be fair to the resta the gang. You all helped me out equally. coughColored BG’s helped me the mostcough Sike, nah. lmao
I see what you mean by the wrinkles now, SFMC. I kinda changed it up on the final outcome. I hope this’ll be sufficient, though I highly doubt it.
Final outcome:

very nice! 
You’ve progressed really fast… and the coloured bg adds a lot to it, definitely.
Don’t go overboard with the highlights in her hair, though. There is such a thing as overdoing it. Personally I preferred the 2nd last one where there were larger masses of dark area in her hair – that way the highlights stand out more.
Yeah, it just seemed empty when I first saw it… I froze, HORRIBLY. I knew that area was gonna make it suck ass.

I’m working on a collab with MagusStorm from DA. Here’s what I have so far.

The highlights and shading of the top of the head are awesome.
the girl on the other pic has her SCM too far from the neck line. Its almost as if the neck belongs to a much larger head.
I see what you mean man. I’ll keep an eye on that from now on. BTW, what’s SCM?

I really like your coloring on this. I’ve got to start practicing with the tablet some more. Kandoken, do you have a website?
Thanks, Bowie!

The opening theme is really a great song, in a cheesy, overly-empowering kind of way.:bgrin:
Nice helmet. I always think your sense of higlights/shadow is your strongest point.
I used to watch Flashman when I was little. I think that was my first sentai show. FLASH! FLASH! FLASh! FLASh!
oh shit. that tommy is looking badass man. I like how he’s scrawny as hell but has that big vest on him. Just like in the show lol. But wrinkles and such, is looking spot on.
Edit: Link fixed
Twelve - Are you from the West Coast? Cuz I keep hearin that they played the oooold school sentais like way back in the 80s. I’m hella jealous.
DF - Thanks man. I just did what you said and simplified it, then went over it with some details.
I’m doing another collab with MagusStorm. Again, it’s Dairanger. But this time, it’s the entire team. I really suggest you guys BitTorrent the shit outta this show. It’s insane.
Here’s a clip:

The drunken master(kirin ranger in the purple suit) is the best one.
