So this is from my old profile (~torsoboyprints ) and it's a few years old by now, but it's still a very active concept for me, so I chose to bring it here.

Without going into the whole idea, I would just like to run through the basics: This is a concept for an adult-oriented Power Rangers. Based on the original MMPR team, the concept rebuilds the team from the ground up. It's no longer a 5-member team. It's now a galaxy-wide paramilitary organization created for the purpose of retaking the galaxy from Zed. It's a gruesome, hyper realistic sci-fi instead of a campy children's show, where the Rangers are the underdog in every aspect of their existence, and members are constantly being killed in action. Think "Blackhawk Down" with a Power Rangers skin applied to it.

The idea started to develop from my love of modern comic book hero movie character costume designs. A lot of people dislike all the leather and piping and stuff, but I'm absolutely in love with it. As I grew as a prop builder, I became fans of the work of Legacy Effects, particularly in their Halo ODST and Reach live-action commercials, so that's been a HEAVY influence on my concepts.

The idea going on with this specific concept is to reduce the bright colors of the spandex uniforms down to an accent color and to really beef up the design of the uniform so that it takes on more of a motorcycle armor design. This is just a base uniform, however, as the "power" of the namesake comes in the form of a suit of Powered Armor, which essentially is along the lines of a sleeker Spartan armor from the Halo series.
