Sketches and composition by
Collab with the always awesome Depper Dan. We had a galaxy Rangers collab in our minds 2 years ago. And now we finally did something together and i love it.
The show was one of the best from the 80s stuff we recieved. Form all Intros, had GR the best intro and the best sound. The character design and setting was very creative. Only prob was, that the show itself could not really hold the quality of the intro and some episodes were really bad written and bad animated. But that was the fate of many Shows from the 80s.
Galaxy Rangers has still the potential to get remaked and with a higher budget and a bigger animation team it could bash anything on TV nowadays.

Not much to critique but I'll give it a shot.
Your colors are, as always, damn near perfect. If I didn't know better I'd think this was a production still from the series. However, the shadow work is a bit strange. You have shadows but no highlights. This make the characters are just cardboard cut outs. The hard edges on the shadows also add to this look.
As a personal preference I would have given more shine to the badge. I also would have gone either larger with the background starfield. Or smaller. The way it is now just seems a little boring for the subject in the foreground.
You captured Dan's original line work wonderfully and both of you managed to bring back some fond memories of afternoon cartoon watching.

I try to change the badge. It's really too flat. I created it in a rush.
The cut out effect is intensional.

Ah, well then since it was intentional my critique is completely off

Pretty good critique. Colors in general are very good. I disagree on the starfield in the background, but I definitely do agree on the badge. The badge here seems to have less depth than the characters, so although they don't exactly fly off of the page (they're not supposed to anyway), the badge just looks really flat in comparison. I'd add both shadows and shine to give it more depth. If I remember correctly, in the original series the badge was made more 3d-looking and given more shine than any of the other elements on screen.

superb work you really captured it well the montage of characters is spot on, the colouring reflects the actual show and the placement of the shows characters is pretty much perfect, great work.
the background is colourful but does not take anything from the main focus of this work. although there is no mention in writing in the work that its galaxy rangers a fan of the show would certainly instantly recognise it from the badge motif. The work also strikes as a candidate for commercail work as there is plenty of room left for wording and extra graphics. nice one.

If Galaxy Rangers was remade by the team behind "The Venture Brothers", it might look something like this!
Β Very cool.

I like how it had CG in it and literally having space cowboys was a bit different...

The show was surprisingly good, some episodes were bad but that's the thing with cartoon shows that were meant for kids, even teen titans which I thought 'Ah a decent cartoon show at last' had it's appeal worn out by the endless hording on the anime expressions and too many weak scripts. Unfortunely shows by DC comics are too keen to thew in one liners and kung fu. Western animation was it's best with gargoyles and batman the animated series.
Which in part why I like galaxy rangers, it's script and direction still manage to add some viewing respect for the older audiance. One character doc even lampshaded scene blatanlt mocking the 'convience' that this alien ship had breathable life support! Of course the show did include some cheap fightin tactics that did add some realisim to the show (points to doc again) And the characters had some dimesnion. Art wise it was quite strong, the animation i felt was better then the defenders of the earth cartton as well.
So I like the pic because not also it includes the minor as well as major characters. Very good.

the way you colored this feels very 80s Don Bluth style!

Wowsers. The details 'n' colours are brilliant - at least better than the original show itself

I remember that episode when the blond dude got sucked into a black hole and he was all warped and screamy and stuff. Awesome Nostalgia Gut Shot.

Ich hoffe, dass das Bild bei Serienmachern auffΓ€llt und diese ein Reboot der Serie starten. Ich hoffe andererseits, dass Michael Bay nicht auf die Idee kommt einen Live-Action Film daraus zu machen. Wobei das cool sein kΓΆnnte. UnabhΓ€ngig davon finde ich das Bild total super, war auch ein groΓer Fan der Serie, damals noch Tele5 glaube ich. Gibts die eigentlich auf DVD. Muss ich gleich mal gucken.

Not knowing anything about the show, the composition, style and colors are great. That being said, I HAVE to know who that pink-haired guy on the top right is.

btw, i have been trying to get dan to do rounded shoulder for years now, i even tried physically grabbing his hand.
