I know, I know." Where's Spike's Character Ref, GK?!" " When are you going to post Spike's Character Ref?!" I'm still working on him, I already have his head done, I just need to figure out what pose to give him for his body. So I decided to take a break from that and work on this. Redesigning the Fire Demon Chi Forms of the Ice Crew!!( Yes, I know some people call them Dragon Warriors forms or Dragon Chi Forms, but I just call them Fire Demon Chi Forms since they do come from Drago's chi) So, this actually stems from my opinion on the Ice Crew's Demon Chi designs in a journal on DA www.deviantart.com/gatorkid509… , I like their designs, but they could've been better in my opinion. So that's where this redesign comes in. ( And yes, I did use the actual image of the Ice Crew's Fire Demon Chi Forms from the JCA Wiki for their new looks, I figured their new looks would look better with the style of the of the show then in my own, so I just used image of them, drew over it and added the details I needed for the redesigns, call it lazy if you want, I'd say I was a good call, plus I'm giving credit.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll go over each member and discuss my changes to their design. StrikeMaster Ice His redesign isn't actually all that different from his official design, the only major change I made was changing the colors of the flame on the shirt, adding the hip armor(?) that was actually apart of his design when he gains Dai Gui's Earth Demon Chi in the finale and adding gray talons to his feet as I thought it was a bit weird that all 3 didn't have detailed talons like Shendu and Drago has, so I gave them some! MC Cobra Now, Cobra and Fist's designs are the ones with the major changes. For one, he has a different shirt color that is purple( And before you ask me why I made it purple, it's not just because it looks cool, but also because purple fire does exist as it's a pyrotechnic effect) and there's no flame on the shirt because it's actually on his sash( You just can see it since Ice's arm is blocking the sash, and yes, the flame color is purple). His head scales get purple tips because I have said before that, while the head scales are really cool, it does take away Cobra's awesome purple hair. He also get's a glove that's actually a homage to him gaining Xiao Fung's Wind Demon Chi( He actually only gains Xiao's Puffed up chin and nothing else, which is kinda lame compared to Ice and Fist's Earth and Thunder Chi designs) DJ Fist Like Cobra, Fist get's some major changes to his Fire Demon Chi Form. His shirt and the flame get changed to blue and flame is moved up to Fist's headband. His skin is also a darker shade of green because is human form has a darker skin tone then Ice and Cobra, he also gets armbands, shoulder plates and greaves that was part of his design when he gained Tchang Zu's Thunder Demon Chi( His clothes were actually going to be the same color as Tchang Zu's armor, but the armor was actually a really dark unsaturated purple, not dark blue like I thought it was originally). I also made his arm more buff because, like I've said before, it really bugs me how thin his arms look in the show. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And done!! This took me about 2 days to do, and I'm really proud of how good they look, their are some things I did want to add but couldn't, like adding references to the Dragon, Rabbit and Ox Talismans( You can actually see this with Cobra's ear being longer then it is in the show, referencing the Rabbit Talisman) and giving them more dinosaur looking feet( Cobra was actually going to get raptor feet with big toe claws). Anyways, I had fun drawing this I've been wanting to redesign the Ice Crew's Fire Demon Chi forms for a while now, maybe I'll tackle another design if a another JCA character( Maybe Po Kong since I really don't like her design). UPDATE: My friend @amnshe-wolf said that Cobra and Fist need something on their shirts since I got rid of the flame emblem on them, so I decide to put a rabbit and ox on them, to not only fill the empty space the flame left behind, but to reference the Super Speed Rabbit Talisman and the Super Strength Ox Talisman.

And so I think that it, tell me what you think.
