Green Caesar

"Green Caesar"
(Dragon Ranger and Dragon Caesar from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger)

As my favorite ranger back when I was in my youth, the Green Ranger (in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) always stood out among the other five. His outfit was visually distinct; from the inverted triangle patterns on the boots and gloves, gold morpher/buckler, and the armor and gold bands about, his very presence demanded appreciation... Well, that, and he started as Anti-ranger! When I did the other two Sentai illustrations, I couldn't pass doing the most outstanding one for myself.

Chou-Ho

"Chou-Ho"
(Super Shinken Red and Shishi Origami from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger)

Another Christmas gift for another friend of mine (although completed very late). I assumed a lot of trouble with the Origami since it's blocky and static by-design. I think despite that complication, I made it work. I decided on using Super Shinken Red rather than his other variations because it sets a different tone and allowed me to have him contrast the pose of the Origami better. The scan drowns it out, but the emblem in the background was colored using a Gold Sharpie, which gave it a really nice metallic look!
