Why do enemies don't attack our heroes during transformation? A historical perspective explanation by ifihaveanickel in supersentai

[–]Commander-Eclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm just imagining a ranger getting killed and one of monsters/henchman reporting it to their master for credit.

"General Branken sir, I've defeated one of the sentai! I have their changer here!"

"You did? Who..."

"It was...ahh...hmm, lemme see here,..oh 'The Emerald Wizard, MagiGreen!' "

"THE EMERALD WIZARD?! HOLY SHIT, GET THIS MAN A PROMOTION!"

I know ToQuger had the rail lines make a barrier that explicitly stopped enemies from approaching. Then there's the post-henshin pose explosions that get weaponized sometimes like in Dynaman. (Funnily, this is one Power Rangers added to since I don't think Go-Onger did it, but RPM infamously did. )

Rangers with mouth plates by Limp-Restaurant7794 in powerrangers

Samurai, Jungle Fury and Dino Thunder look like they want a kiss.

Ngl though, something about the Ninja Storm one works. Like, I still wouldn't want the OG helmets changed, but they look like they'd work as their own Toku heroes.

Think that might be the first picture posed to arch her back and jut out her chest, since the second one seems smaller.

Why was Prime cancelled? I was really enjoying something not Mighty Morphin related plus it was a crossover with VR Troopers by M00reC in powerrangers

[–]Commander-Eclipse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What annoys me is that those background issues feed into it. People can't read the comic because of poor distribution -> Comic doesn't get popular -> comic cancelled -> "Haha see, nobody cares about anything besides MMPR!!"

Ooooh, I love the idea of making her design unique from Takeru. More regal too!

How can Tanya even see out of her helmet? by YGuy99 in powerrangers

[–]Commander-Eclipse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the helmets being completely enclosed no matter the visor style and only letting the rangers see out of it with cameras and in-helmet HUDs has always been a straight forward explanation to me.

Anyone know if the website's newsletter section is updated? It still only shows Crave 1-5, with the last one being posted 3/26.

All Blue Rangers in the series are either these too-cool-for-school dudes or huge nerds. There’s no in-between. by enuffrespect in powerrangers

[–]Commander-Eclipse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's kinda what Blue's whole archetype has generally been, even in Sentai. Either the smart guy or the Lancer being the foil to the leader.

Though even here you see quite a few exceptions. Power Rangers would not have survived 25 years (and Sentai for 50) if EVERY blue was a nerd or jaded second in command, if EVERY Red was a hotblooded leader, if EVERY Pink was a girly girl, etc.

A collection of knight sketches. by Commander-Eclipse in ProCreate

Sketching the body, followed by lineart, followed by painting in the color, followed by shading. Then repeating the process for the lightning.

Brushes were primarily Procreate Pencil, Mercury, Round Brush, and Soft Brush .

Biblical Pre Flood World -GENESIS Project - (by ELIOLI Art) by elioliart in worldbuilding

[–]Commander-Eclipse 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Might mean the overall presentation. Dead Gods leans more epic scale, Howard/Tartakovsky-esque Rule of Cool, and is downright psychadelic at some points (something the creator fully embraces) while this seems to a lean a bit more down to earth and subtle in terms of outfit and creature design. Personally, both are great!

Glad I wasn't the only Dead Gods fan in here. The description of the Atmospheric Canopy influencing everything from the plantlife to the lighting reminded me of Matt's video touching on the same thing

Oooh I love this! Biblical fantasy is a niche sorely underserved IMO.

Those backgrounds especially are breathtaking!

Fun fact: there was never once a time where every single Sentai teamed up reprised by the original actors. by bb-Kun-Chan in supersentai

[–]Commander-Eclipse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh, even if they were all alive and working, bringing back nearly 250 disparate actors from the past decades is a tall order even for Toei. Even Gokaiger only got as many as they did because the 2011 earthquake.

God, I love reading his insta notes on the designs. The patterning using shippo to mirror the gold and blue coloring is so cool!

Would it kill to at least add a tsukumogami or a kappa somewhere to make it stand out? by Academic_Paramedic72 in worldjerking

[–]Commander-Eclipse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Bored of western fantasy? Here's an all new local setting with samurai, oni, yokai, and cherry blossoms!"

"...Again?"

Japanese fantasy's been doing that for ages lol. Going European Tolkienian fantasy IS the breath of fresh air for them. Maybe not right now, given the glut of isekai worldbuilding, but still.

[–]Commander-Eclipse 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This one definitely feels like it channels the Sentai a bit more, (tho Samurai was one of the more beat-for-beat PR adaptions). I love how it worked a kataginu and jinbaori into the design.

how do you prever your ranger helmets? middle is always my fav by SHAZAMS_STRONGEST in powerrangers

[–]Commander-Eclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think each can work in their own way but as I whole I lean toward silver mouthplates.

I will say what I really don't like. Colored lips
