Commission for BioPen1326

About time I finish this one. It took me way to long to design and finish, but at least I got there in the end, right? This is Keiji Sentai Renegader, a team of convicts-turned heroes (and one cop) who fight... monsters, I guess. I wasn't given any lore about the team other than the fact that they're all convicts, save the sixth ranger. So design-wise I made them sleek and utilitarian, my idea being that this team is being forced to fight by the government to shorten their prison sentences or something like that.

The design on their chest is a stylization of the letters K and R, to represent their team name. The shape and style of this logo was actually inspired by this symbol  , which according to my research is tied to the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia, more or less). I figured that would be appropriate. The cuffs on their ankles and wrists were designed with the idea of handcuffs/shackles in mind, but it may not have come out perfect. Their belts are also simplistic, each housing each Ranger's serial number. And I hid a Sentai-Numbering-Mofif within these numbers, just take a look at the first digit in each number.

As for the Sixth Ranger, referred to as "The Paragon," he was described to me as being a more Rider-Like armored character. I interpreted this information as "make him a cop" so I made him a cop, with some Gosei Knight inspiration. I also used navy blue here instead of indigo as requested because I thought it looked better (I may change it at the commissioner's request). And, of course, his emblem is a big ol' police badge. 

Overall, I'm happy with how this team came out. I tried a few different things with highlights and shading (mostly on Paragon), and I think it came out looking super good. Really happy with this product.

Please do not use without permission. Enjoy.

Nice work. You should be proud of yourself. I hope to see this adapted for television sometime, preferably made by Britain.

However, with the six prisoners and one police officer/law figure motif, I can't help but feel that an adaptation would be like "Porridge", with Paragon as a cross of Mr Mackey and Mr Barrowclough, Red (being a leader) as Fletch, Blue as Lennie, Cyan as Grout, Pink as Lukewarm, Black as Jock McLaren and White as either Blanco Webb or Horrible Ives. WDYT?

Really cool!

Say, I have an idea for a background for these guys.  Maybe they were originally to be sentenced to prison, but were offered an alternative in the form of a top secret project (the Sentai team depicted here).  That way, it could be a reference to Dai Jack from JAKQ, since he was wrongly accused and that happened to him.  Speaking of which, maybe that could also be the case for some of the Rangers here. Maybe some were wrongly accused, but some are actually guilty but of different things.  Maybe even their rank depends on what they did or were convicted of.


Oh and about Paragon, maybe he was assigned to keep them in line by the people in charge of the team project, and is actually kind of against them towards the beginning like Gosei Knight was to the Goseigers.

Hopefully he sees me note but you’re really close! I’m happy somebody wants to see the official lore.  Criminals using their skills for good comparing paragon to Gosei Knight makes me happy lol

I absolutely adore them <3
I know the cyan and blue sort of clashes, but I was inspired by Hurricanger/Ninja Storm.  I know that's cyan and navy, but two shades of blue nonetheless.  As for the Paragon, he's fantastic!  Simple team, sleek Paragon, uniform overall.  I do love it.  Thank you so much for devoting time to this!

I can send you a note with the lore behind this team so you'll know what you've helped bring to life.

I Know, this is a comm and you need to make like the order, but the white in this team is so wired. I don't know, but, if i can, i would change the white to yellow.

Personally, I'd swap out Cyan. At least black and white are on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of there being both a cyan and blue ranger in the core team.
But it's what the commissioner wanted. Had to comply.

I find it appealing yet off-putting. As much as cyan and blue clash, the other colors bring them together in a streamline fashion. you did a great job
