Noah is one of my only favorite characters that I don't desprately headcannon as aro. I think he deserves a boyfriend. Or even a girlfriend. Or a nonbinary romantic partner that would be best.
Happy 10th Anniversary Power Rangers Megaforce! Had a shoot with Ciara the other week and we had to grab some shots of Gia to celebrate. Got a few more Gia shots to release down the line, after I edit them.
When you feel so fucking robbed when you find out that Troy was supposed to have a storyline about being a military brat and that’s why his face is so neutral because that was how he was trained to be, but they scrapped it so he just looks emotionless for nothing
Here we have Iota Squad all together and ready for action. One of hero factories many search and rescue teams. Though, this team in particular is usually assigned to more hazardous conditions than usual. They're more than capable than handling themselves alone but when together, as with all teams, they can achieve great things. Listing them off from left to right (In the group photo):
Heinrich Phase: A brash and boastful rookie always looking to prove himself to his team's lead, Pixie. He feels that the Hero Factory could be doing more with it's influence and power. Heinrich made a name for himself while using the experimental short range phase generator mounted on his upper back. This device allows him to "teleport" or blink a short distance, leaving an after image in his path. Depending on the mission at hand you'll either see him with his High Frequency Dual Claws, able to cut through even the densest of metals and rock. They come quite in handy for clearing debris and clearing paths to rescue targets or ripping the armor off of foes. Or his Dual Concussive Photon Repeaters, usually mounted on the side of a Mach Bike, he took the opportunity from a wrecked one to see if he could put them to use himself. They have a lot of kick… unsurprisingly.
Gretchen Ranger: An overprotective, unyielding, near-unstoppable force of a hero. Not afraid to speak her mind, she tends to butt heads with the team lead at times. Even so, they're the closest of the four. Despite her predisposition, she willingly chose the role of tracker of the team. Ranger's armor and equipment are reminiscent of a badger. She comes equipped with similar strength augmenting tech implanted in Duncan Bulk with optimized actuators in her hands for more grip strength, allowing her to crush even stone in her claws. She can scale sheer vertical surfaces with ease as well. Her tool of choice is a modified version of the M.D.S.B (Mega Decibel Sound Blaster). Referred to as, lovingly, the "Search Light". Instead of sending out masses of explosive sound, it acts as an advance echo-locator. Though, the output can be turned up higher for sustained and devastating firepower should the need arise.
Clara Pixie: Team lead, voice of reason, and a great shot. Pixie, despite being the shortest in the team, is the most capable fighter out of all of them. She traded in the standard plasma gun issued to all heroes for a condensed combustion hand cannon. The design of the handgun is very much "lightning trapped in a bottle". However, that is a topic for another time. Pixie while not leading the team, is often participating in Hero Factory's rehabilitation program. In which a select few potential ex-villains are given a second chance. In the form of being assigned to a city and being charged with protecting and helping the inhabitants in anyway they can. Of course, under the close supervision of an assigned handler. Pixie, being part of this program, has been assigned with being Corroder's handler. The two have grown quite close as time passed. Even bringing him along on missions with the rest of the squad every now and again. The two would be near inseparable if it weren't for responsibilities that need most of their attention.
Andrew "Andy" Bolt": Quiet, patient, disciplined, Andrew Bolt is one of the best scouts Hero Factory has had in years. It's rumored that he could've been on the fabled H.R.T (Hero Recon Team) at one point or another. His actions, speak much louder than words in most cases. Not much is really known fully about him aside from him being a veteran hero and his blinding speed. He is equipped with an energy condenser mounted to his quaza core that passively absorbs any ambient electricity in the air. Giving him a constant flow of energy to power his tools/weapons. Speaking of, Bolt's equipped with Dual Stun blasters that have an extended function, when drawing directly from his energy condenser, to create nets of energy capable of neutralizing weapons and powers similar to the hero cuffs used during the breakout event. His pride and joy comes in the form of the Mach Saber. in it's normal state it functions just like any other sword made by hero factory. But, when drawing power directly from his energy condenser, it's high frequency function activates, allowing him to cut through even the strongest alloys. Bolt is also capable of diverting extra power to his legs for short bursts of speed or a constant, blinding sprint. Doing so charges the condenser further. If not released he could overheat himself. After long sprints Bolt requires venting almost immediately.
This was a really long one but, I really needed to get this one done since I've been sitting on the idea of this team for a while now. I figured now would be as good as any since it is Hero February and all. Hope you like them as much as I do. Enjoy!

Well, after drawing 88 different skeletal characters, here it is, the full series of "A Buncha Boneheads"! I was originally going to try and sell this as a poster but after looking into it, I don't think I can do that unless I want to deal with several dozen copyright laws.
This was quite the fun little exercise for me- the biggest challenge was trying to emulate the art styles of so many different series and properties. There are definitely more skull-headed characters out there that I could add, but frankly I think a nice even 88 is good enough, and there are other projects I want to work on for the future. Overall I'm pretty proud of this.
With that said, let me know if I've made a spelling mistake or something anywhere on here- I've tried my best but I just know I missed one or two somewhere.

Hello, and thank you all for waiting! We're going for a 32 Giraffe tournament, and we got 45 valid submissions (44 if we take into account the recent Girafarig/Farigiraf decision). With that in mind, here are the giraffes that received enough nominations to qualify!
Kaku (One Piece)
Girafarig/Farigiraf (Pokemon)

The Giraffe/Kirin (Revue Starlight)
Melman (Madagascar)

Miyushi Kazunari (A3)

Additionally, 2 autoqualified giraffes that I had hidden to gain propaganda (the others got some, but they didn't) include:
Wattgiraffe (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Giraffes (...like real ones. I'm surprised no one nominated them)
The other 2 that got propaganda were Kaku and Farigiraf. Since Farigiraf is split with Girafarig (and because we're 1 away from 16 qualifiers), I'm also adding one more auto-qualifier:
Agent G (Short Giraffe)
So, we've got 16 spots left and 28 giraffes remaining. Next week, we'll have 14 randomly-sorted autoqualifiers to fill out the spots, and then divide the remaining 14 randomly into 2 more polls to determine the last 2. These random qualifiers are...

It's another special day! Happy 30th Anniversary, Power Rangers!!! I was exactly the right age to become obsessed with my first real exposure to tokusatsu.
MMPR is a huge turning point in my hobbies and interests, pushing me to pursue films, shows, content, and games to voraciously enjoy. Naturally, it got me into Super Sentai and other adjacent shows like Kamen Rider as well.
I was there at the beginning, karate chopping my younger brother in the neck because a man dressed in dinosaur-themed spandex was kicking ass on our TV.
Whether it's the highs of the mid-Disney era, or the lowest lowest of Super Mega Force...I have a fondness for the Power Rangers' franchise and its earnestness. The crew and the teams are all trying their hardest to make colorful explosions to entertain us all.
Meeting David Yost at NYCC meant so much to me, he listened to me ramble about how important his role as Billy was, how helpful it was to see a group of friends that included the shy, less confident kid. He was such a class act, as I'm sure he's heard that a trillion times. I'm so happy he's back in the franchise!
Happy Anniversary, MMPR! Thank you for the morphs!

....This is honestly the worst question to ask someone like me who doesn't care at all about either of these, but I can try my best?
The Grave Zord: Do I care that it is obvious pandering towards the readers of the comics that also absolutely simp for anime? Not at all. It's pretty and can be piloted by remote A.I.
Ninja Wolf Zord: It was so, so ugly in CGI in the movie, I admit it; but my heart carries a soft spot for it being one of the first metallic wolves I ever saw.
Dragon Folding Zord: It is a tiny dragon that can fit in someone's pocket and play games on a board with its friends (all of the folding zords are cute, but this one is best).
Catastros: Spent half the Mystic Force series as Koragg's butt. Tell me this boy doesn't deserve love.
The Mega Megazord: A hybrid zord of many worlds and many teams made in the heat of battle to kick Serpentera's ass. And it has cute little arm wings that look like arm floaties for little girls~
*
The Dragon Dagger: Especially in Shattered Grid when Kim got to fashion it into an arrow going in for the kill~
The Bow of Darkness: As it doubles as both being the Ranger Slayer's node of brainwashing and the weapon she ultimately uses to help save multiple dimensions, at already has a lot of points going for it. The fact that Coinless Bulk calls it the Goth Bow just makes me love it more.
Yellow Sentry Power Daggers: They remind me of ballistic Russian knives that can be shot, but these are particularly interesting to look at in a practical setting for the Coinless Universe.
Red Sentry Double Bladed Pole Staffs: It kind of speaks to how insidious Drakkon was in the Coinless Universe that only a small percent of the sentries were Red, and those were always in close quarters with him, and all of them only seemed to have the bladed weapons, not the gun oriented. So either they have to be so good at their jobs that they don't need a gun, or Drakkon wants to be sure that have no chance of catching him off guard or making a last ditch effort not to be thrown in prison on his own whims. Also they're nice to look at.
MMPR Blue Ranger Power Lance: It is kind of a headache to look at and contemplate how anyone could use it without hurting themselves, but it can also split in half for double-handed combat, so...coolness level goes up for that.
