Taiko554's Pixel Stage

So sorry for not responding earlier. Been looking for a new theme and just been all-around lazy and haven't had the time to make stuff that I want to.

i think u are much more better than ameyal cause u rocks dude!!! yours looks more like fighters but ameyal looks more not fighter like.And just telling everyone i am new here!!!!!!
Thanks, but everybody's got their own styles and stuff. They're both completely different teams of pixels (even with different templates, different design aspects, etc) so it's kinda unfair to pit 'em against eachother.
Taiko can i request something?
Sorry, but like syer001 said, I don't really take requests.


But, now on to a new team. Kettou Sentai Hidanranger! (決闘戦隊ひだんレンジャー)
hidanranger.png

Kettou (決闘) here means duel or shoot-out and Hidan (ひだん) means bandit gang. As such, the team is based on a Wild West theme of cowboys, bandits, duels, etc.

For the design, I tried something along Gokaiger's design where they have pirate hats kind of incorporated into their helmets, the Hidan rangers have cowboy hats incorporated into their helmets. The mouthpieces are based on bandannas used to cover bandits faces, so there's a little bit of a mouth but not that pronounced. The chest pieces (minus the crossed revolvers) is based on a cowboy esque shirt. The boots are obviously based on cowboy boots and the legs themselves are kinda based on chaps, with the blackened pieces being the chaps.

The Hidanrangers do have number designations, with Red being the leader and number one, Violet two, Yellow three, Green four, and blue five. To distinguish themselves, each ranger helmet has a different number of shapes on the hat-like helmet, most being circular but Red's is a star since he's the leader. The handles of the revolvers on their chests are also divided into black sections, with Red having a single black area, and so forth through the number designations.

As for their roll call:
"The Expert Quickdraw! HidanRed!"
"The Outstanding Trickshot!" HidanViolet!"
"The Impossible Sniper! HidanYellow!"
"The Silent Markswoman!" HidanGreen!
"The Trigger-happy Belle! HidanBlue!"


"The High Noon Sun Calls Our Vengeance! Kettou Sentai! Hidanranger!"

The roll call alludes to their vengeance that the five Hidanrangers are looking for. Just as a quick back story, there used to be six of them, with a HidanBlack as the leader of their gang and Red as second in command. HidanBlack (of course) betrays his gang/team, reveals he's always been evil and only used the other Hidanrangers because he couldn't pull off crimes by himself. Because of HidanBlack's betrayal, the others swear off crime and look only for vengeance. I haven't quite settled on a design for HidanBlack or if these five Hidanrangers will be joined by another one.

Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.
 
These are the additional rangers to my cowboy/wild west team.

These are HidanBlack and HidanSilver. HidanBlack was the original leader of the Hidanrangers. HidanBlack betrayed the rest of the Hidanrangers revealing he has always been evil. The other five Hidanrangers then swore off their bandit lives of crime and look only for vengeance against their former teammate, HidanBlack. HidanBlack's original number designation was zero, as such he has a circle on his helmet/head and no lines on his revolver symbol where the rest do. His evil suit attempts to cover up a lot of his original suit with armor over the torso and different gloves and boots. In the center of his chest armor is the face of the NishiOni, the Demon of the West. The NishiOni would likely be the big bad in the series, eventually utilizing HidanBlack's body to fully revive. There's no chance of redemption for HidanBlack though, he is evil, but not quite as evil as the NishiOni.

HidanBlack's original roll call with the suit on the far left was:
"The Brilliant Bandit! HidanBlack!"
His roll call once he has become evil with the middle suit:
"The Greatest Demon in the West! HidanBlack!"


HidanSilver is the newest addition to the Hidanrangers. He is what would be traditionally called the "sixth ranger" even though he is the seventh to have a Hidan title. In the course of the story, he has been around since the beginning as a deputy attempting to arrest the Hidan gang with other law officers. At some point, he along with other law officers are held hostage by HidanBlack and is rescued by the five Hidanrangers. Afterwords, he continues to follow the Hidanrangers with hopes of joining them. He is able to repay his debt to the Hidanrangers by helping them out of a trap/set up and is then proven worthy of being a Hidanranger. His color scheme is based off of BoukenSilver, one of my favorite sixths. In reference to his status as either the sixth or seventh ranger, his hat has six markings while his each piece of his shoulder armor has the roman numerals for seven. I just thought it'd be kind of funny to have it be a dispute in the design.

His roll call is "The Dazzling Deputy! HidanSilver!"


And here's a couple group pics of what the two rosters have looked like, one with HidanBlack, and the other with HidanSilver.

And just a couple Kamen Rider pixels for Kamen Rider OOO.

This is Kamen Rider Birth Prototype that Shintaro Goto uses once and Akira Date starts using near the end of the series.

I thought I'd make this because I actually really liked how it looked in the show. Personally, I think the purple eyes look a lot better than the standard green ones. Sadly, this only happens very briefly near the end of the series due to Dr. Maki turning Eiji into a full blown Greeed.

Juuuust went through the entire thread. I like your stuff a lot! I look forward to your next one, whether it be Comic Book hero or Toku related. B)
 
Thank you very much!


This is a new original team I've created based on the Olympics. The name renkei (連係) means "connection or link" and shousha (勝者) means "winner or victor". The connection/link part comes from the team being connected through the sporting events, linking across the five regions of the globe represented in the Olympics. The winner/victor part comes from each member being the champion of their region.

The first/core five have their own roll call:

"The Victor of the Americas! ShoushaRed!"
"The Victor of Asia! ShoushaBlack!"
"The Victor of Europe! ShoushaBlue!"
"The Victor of Oceania! ShoushaGreen!"
"The Victor of Africa! ShoushaYellow!"

"These five rings will united the World! Renkei Sentai...Shoushaman!"



White has his own, which is why he is on the outside of the core five, rather than next to Red:

"These shining rings will grant victory to the righteous! The Champion of the World! ShoushaWhite!"


The five core rangers' colors are those colors of the rings found on the Olympic flag, with the top rings being males and bottom females. However, I wanted Red to be the center, rather than the flag's black. White is the background color of the flag, and therefore made sense to be the sixth. His secondary colors also represent the gold, silver, and bronze colors of the medals given to the winners in the games.
The V in the center of their chest circles not only represents victor or victory, but also a peace symbol for the union of the continental regions. The idea for the circles was to have a way of numbering them, and at first it was going to be more like the sides of dice. Red is five, Black four, Blue three, Green two, Yellow one, and White six. However, the only one that really looks like the side of a die is White, in my opinion.

They look...okay. My only grievance is that, the suit makes it look like they are wearing a serape that turns into a loincloth. :laugh: Still interesting creation though.
 
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.
newgokai.png

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)
soudaileaders.png

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, http://taiko554.deviantart.com/#/d4cgfmn
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.
 
I've been wanting to do a sort of makeover on the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers/Zyuranger suits for some time. Tried looking at all kinds of movie suits for inspiration and how to mesh the designs together. I saw some photoshops of the Red Ranger on the GI Joe film armor, and on the Nolan Batman suits, but I wanted to try to do something I hadn't seen before. Nothing really clicked or had me excited to make the new look until I saw the new Tron:Legacy movie. I know, it's been out for close to a year, but I never saw it until this past week.

tronzyummpr.png



So this is the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers/Zyuranger suits in a Tron style. I say MMPR first because of the yellow female suit rather than the male in Zyuranger. The basic Tron armor suit is taken from Sam Flynn's suit. Then the bulk of the 'light' designs are meant to look like the original ranger suits with some Tron lines in there as well. I decided to go very minimal on the helmets because the helmets in Tron:Legacy are pretty basic and black. The rangers retain a visor shape similar to (not 100% exactly the same) as the original ranger suits. The helmets also have some remnant of a design from the original helmets as well, but no eyes or protrusions like ears or horns.

I also messed around with some settings in a program in an attempt to make the colors really look like they were lit. Black's light color is more violet, because in Super Sentai and PR, it always seems like black rangers get a violet glow when they transform and stuff. It took a lot of tinkering but I'm fairly happy with this result. I would love some feedback on that particular aspect or advice on how to make it look more lit-up.
