Hey there folks! I know I said on Wednesday that the Power Rangers theme was finished (actually it’s still Wednesday as I’m writing this) but I have one last piece to share.

When I drew the individual Power Ranger mash-ups, I was going off one specific promo picture which you can view here. Why wouldn’t I offer the same group shot when they were all done? There’s no good reason why I wouldn’t do so, so here I am doing so. Enjoy (or don’t)!

PowerRangers

Looking back, if I’d wanted a little more symmetry, I’d have put Red Rich and Todrick as the Black and Blue Rangers, Barnaby as the Green Ranger and Cyran as the Red Ranger. I drew Red Rich first though and at that moment I didn’t think I was going to draw the others. A lack of ideas for a follow-up theme at the time led me to do the rest and I filled in with other available cast members. I couldn’t use Big Oonch as the Black Ranger (to counterbalance Cyran as the Blue) because there was no practical thematic way to hide his eyes short of making him wear the Power Rangers mask, and it would have been weird for him to be the only one to do so.

Anyway! NOW we’re done the Power Rangers theme! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Good morning Flashback Friday Fans! How do I know you’re fans? Well you’re here aren’t you? Sure you could have just followed some random link to end up here, but I prefer to think you’re all fans so don’t take that away from me! 🙂

Rumor has it that the Dark Side has cookies and I think that’s what attracted a young fox to become Darth Todrick. If only he’d had a conversation with Cookie Monster who recently debunked the myth. Anyway, here’s the reimagining of Todrick as Darth Vader. One thing about colouring with blacks is that I have to use varying shades of black throughout the costume and then when I shade them, they all turn out looking pretty similar which makes me wonder why I bothered. It’s really the shading that sells the different materials anyway. As always click on a picture to enlarge it.

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up.

So this week we have a Dark Lord, but next week, we have a GOD! Who is it? Come back next Friday to find out! Write in your guesses in the comments!

Wednesday, when the work week becomes half empty if you’re an optimist and half full if you’re a pessimist (think about it). While you’re chewing on that, let’s get a mash-up, okay? Okay!

It’s the last week of Power Rangery fun! I can’t see I know anything more about the Power Rangers today than I did when I started. The mash-ups turned out nice though and that’s all I can hope for in a theme.

For the last Power Ranger mash-up, we have Todrick as the Green Ranger. Todrick wears green all the time, so this seemed like a natural. The Green Ranger offers some different costume accessories to draw which was nice after drawing the very same costume four times in different colours. The pose I chose for this picture required drawing Todrick looking straight ahead, which is something I don’t do very often. Most of the time, there’s just a little turn to the head as seen by the sides of his ears. None of that here.

So that’s it for the Power Rangers. There’s a brand new theme on the horizon for next week. What is it? I could tell ya, but where’s the fun in that. Come back Wednesday to find out! Until then, post your guesses in the comments below!
