Rita Repulsa from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

When I was looking into doing my Madame Woe piece, I saw a lot of images of Rita Repulsa and I couldn't resist giving her a go as well.

Rita always stuck out in the show, of course that has a lot to so with her being the main villain, but she was also completely insane, and her costume design was even more insane. I mean just look at that hair!

I'm planning at least one more piece in the Power Ranger series, but I think I'm going to give the Rangers a break for a little while so I can focus on some other projects I've got lined up like what I mentioned in the previous post on old sketches. Hint as to the next character I'll paint...he's depicted in one of the images posted in the original Power Rangers post I made.

Madame Woe from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to paint some Mighty Morphin Monsters. I specifically remember Madame Woe from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers video game for the Sega Genesis. She had a very annoying laugh but I always thought she looked pretty cool, and in the show's version she even looks kinda creepy. Here's my take on Madame Woe below...

Power Rangers Piece: Sneak Peek

I was out of town for a few days and I didn't get any work done during that time so here's a little preview of what I'm working on now. It's a monster from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Can you guess which one??

Inspiration Spotlight #3 - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Power Rangers...that's right, Power Rangers. But not just any Power Rangers, I don't really care for the sub-space, Eskimo-pirate versions that came later. It's all about the Mighty Morphin for me.

Like many people my age, one of the shows I grew up watching was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and it was one of my favorites. Sure the quality wasn't all that great compared to what we have now, but at the time that show was the epitome of awesome. I remember drawing the Power Rangers a LOT when I was younger and I especially liked the green ranger's design. I think the fact that his costume was so different from the others really interested me, something about that gold triangle thing he wore was really cool to me. I'd like to take a moment to comment on how annoying it was that it was almost impossible to find the green ranger action figure too...moment completed

The zords were really awesome too, and you knew when they came out the Power Rangers meant business! From a concept art perspective, it's interesting how the dinosaur theme carries between their costumes and their zords, as well as how they all work together.

Lastly, and once again, I gotta mention the monsters! Say what you will about how awful some of them looked on TV, but I still think there are some gems in the monster designs that appeared in the show. I'm playing around with the idea of doing some redesigns of a couple of the monsters as a personal project, but we'll see what happens.
