Haha, thanks? I didn't even know what a serape was until I searched it. I think your comment comes from the fact that they're belt-less. And that's just a creative decision on my part. I wanted the lines to run free of obstacles. Thanks for the comment.
A few new things. One with a lot more explaining than the other.
My own Gokaiger,
GokaiCrimson. Or "Spikey/Spikes" as a nickname/insult.
In the context of the story line, he'd be a former ally of AkaRed before Marvelous even met AkaRed, therefore Marvelous doesn't know of Crimson's existence. I think he'd usually use the 'extra hero keys'. When Basco stole them, Crimson was only able to transform into his Gokaiger suit. Now since the Gokaiger have the extra ranger keys back, Crimson makes his series debut as an antagonist to both sides. He's just kind of in the middle, and fights everybody. His goal is to take the extra hero keys back form the Gokaiger and keep them in his own linked treasure box.
And now for a new project I'm hoping will get some interest from peoples.
Taisuru Sentai Soudairanger! (対する戦隊そうだいレンジャー)
The rangers are comprised of five ranger teams, each made up of five individual rangers, for a total of 25 rangers. The teams are associated with a group of animals and an element. Taisuru (対する) means to face, be in response to, confront, opposed to, or compete with. Soudai (そうだい) means magnificent, grand, or majestic. The name is a reference to the different elements, or teams of rangers, competing against one another. Each individual team name replaces "ranger" with their respective element.
The reds are associated with fire and birds. The leader's animal is a hawk. Their title is Taisuru Sentai Soudaikaen (magnificent flame).
The blues are associated with water and fish. The leader's animal is a shark. Their title is Taisuru Sentai Soudaimzu (magnificent water).
The greens are associated with earth and reptiles. The leader's animal is a komodo. Their title is Taisuru Sentai Soudaitsuchi (magnificent earth).
The yellows are associated with lightning and carnivorous mammals. The leader's animal is a cheetah. Their title is Taisuru Sentai Soudaidenkou (magnificent lightning).
The violets are associated with air and insects. The leader's animal is a butterfly. Their title is Taisuru Sentai Soudaikaze (magnificent wind).
Each team is composed of five members, each with a different color and animal spirit. Above I said I was hoping to create this universe with other people. Here's what I meant by that: I'm open to suggestions on colors, animals, personalities, human/civilian looks for the rest of the rangers. I've already pretty much decided upon the look of the leaders, but the remaining 20 rangers are up for free grabs by people out there. So if you have a suggestion for a ranger, please make it! I'm also going to create an accompanying journal entry for this to keep track. I do plan on making civilian forms of the rangers, so if there is a certain celebrity (or even yourself!) you would like a ranger to look like, please let me know. Send me a pic of the celebrity (or yourself!) and I'll pixel the ranger.
If people have suggestions, I'd ask only to make one so that lots of people get in on this. Obviously, once there are five rangers per element, that element is off limits, sorry. It's kind of a first come, first serve on that basis. I do reserve the right to reject or edit some suggestions if I don't completely love 'em. Here's what I'd like to know.
Team/Element of ranger:
Color:
Animal:
Personality (just a sentence or two):
Civilian form/look/inspiration:
Civilian name and age:
However, to make things simple and easy for others to follow, I ask that any suggestions of rangers be made on the team's pic in my DeviantArt gallery here,

There's also some more information on the DeviantArt link. If you want a ranger in this universe, please go right ahead and comment there! Thanks.
Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks. Even though this will hopefully turn into a collaborative effort with other peoples, the actual pixels will be done with me, and I do not want people editing these designs. Thanks.
