Number One Sentai Gozyuger!

I've only just noticed that I did Polar's in a bigger format 🤣

This was such a fun thing to do, I'm not used to draw things without face, more android-like, not having the eyes really made a difference for me when coming up with these.

I honestly don't have a personal favorite, but I know people online do: the number don't lie, Hoeru is an absolute smash across all my socials, I do think the red factor played a part, but still, there is a very big gap between him and the second place (Kinjiro, with Sumino close behind). Which comes to show that I don't play favorites, cause from the team Hoeru is my least liked character 😬

There is a lack of consistency on the coloring but it is what it is, since I was trying many different things and looking at various tutorials to get the materials right. I would probably gone with Mashiro's style for all of them had it been now, finally getting the hang of the whole leather-y/latex look while still maintaining the subtle halftones seen in Hoeru's.

Rikuo's is definitely the weakest, also the only one that I traced: I used part of a promotional picture to get the pose, and instead of adapting the proportions I left them as it was thinking my coloring would do the trick. It didn't, you can see how his body differs from the rest of them.

All in all, I'm super pleased with them, and maybe if I'm still pumped for the show I might got back to them, but if so I'll come up with tweaked versions of their suits, spice things up.

I almost drew Garyudo/Kuon, but then Mashiro showed up and he is the coolest — no pun intended.

Yeah, I had to — I also almost finished drawing the core team out of their uniforms:

I'm about to start rendering Hoeru, the last one of this bunch. Was going to post them soon, but now with Mashiro joining the show I think I'll wait and see him in action and decide if he gets the same treatment.

I'm super pleased with how all of them turned out (Kinjiro was the most fun to make).

No idea of what to draw once I'm done with them...

[tututsu]

I was going to post them individually, but decided to finish all of them to show all together.

I'll talk about each look and the idea behind them once I'm done, Rikuo and Ryugi are finalized and I'm in the process of rendering Sumino. There might be more than the core five — I'm super excited to finish Sumino so I can move to Kinjiro, his outfit is the cutest.

No.1 Sentai Gozyuger Vol.5

Had a really tough time with this one. This is actually the second attempt, because the first one looked so weird to me. Since I started to use the 3D models for poses things got easier for me on this department, instead of worrying (too much) about anatomy now my focus is more towards the actual posing. It was also the first time I did one bit-by-bit, rendering a piece at a time until I completed the whole body, it's looks cute on the timelapse and it also allows me keep more focus on the task at hand, when I have all the base colors available the process becomes way more chaotic.

I was actually really deep into the first try when I decided to stop and re-imagine the whole thing. Ended up using the first pose as a base, exaggerating some of the movement and changing just a little bit of the angle for a more dynamic pose.

One the most challenging parts really is trying to ignore what you see on screen and keep in mind what your imagination is coming up with, the plain line art and base colors are just a hint of what is to come.

The wings came later and all the blurring was done on photoshop.

[tututsu]

No new Gozyuger piece this week! I'm swamped with work and also I was super displeased with how my first attempt was turning out, in the meantime here a sneak at my new try:

Every one of the pieces had an accessory: the tegasword, the rose, the hammer; for this one I'm thinking the wings are going to be it.

Thinking about posting the first attempt here when I'm done with this one.

Finally sharing the timelapse here, I was so conflicted about changing things from the original but in the end I tried to keep as close as possible to it.

And what you know, got quite good at making clouds ☁️

[tututsu]

Just finished the Ryugi piece and is hands down my favorite (he is my bias thou so...)

Here a peak of the early stage:

I've gotten so much good feedback from the Gozyuger fanart. Thank you all so much! It really makes me want to keep going and draw the rest of the team!!

I actually tried a very different approach at first, with vector layers and a translucent visor, but I wasn't vibing with it so I ditched for a more messy linework and simpler visual.

This was just me exercising some coloring, shading and texturing. And who knows, I might end up making the rest of the team.

[tututsu]

I imagine that someone is waiting for me at the finish line.

I just had so much fun re-imagining this one, both pieces are one year apart and I'm quite proud of how much I evolved (granted, I did this one in no-rush).

I'll post the timelapse later, both here and on artstation.
