Justin, your artwork is terrific!

I love the style. It captures the likeness of the Rangers very well, while giving it a very "new comic" look. The sketch-look (?) and the coloring, also give it a very space western look. (Looks somewhat like weathered-high tech....very cool)

You've really captured the four main characters well, Justin. Will you be referencing/using other of the great GR designs (for the starships, weapons, locations, planets, etc.)? These to me were just as important and significant designs as the main charcters themselves. And these designs reallly helped forge the feeling that GR was indeed it's own unique universe.

I noticed that in the Goose pic, he's holding some newly designed blasters. They look great! If possible, don't forget this iconic blaster that all the Rangers used in the series (minus the extended clip, and target, of course!). I love the unique look of this blaster...totally Rangers! :)

Keep up the great work! I can't wait to be able to purchase this terrific looking graphic novel.

hyperchild,

Thanks a million for those pictures

I especially love the picture of Niko and Mel. The detail on Mel is fantastic! That's what I'm talking about.

Jabba the drunk and  yelahttam,

Thanks for the kind words.  Robert approached me years ago about trying the Yoji Shinkawa style for the rangers . He was the lead designer of the first metal gear soild video game. We were both big fans of his art. The big concern is how to update the canon, while trying new things.

Godzina,

I personally liked the scarf/sash, it was on the art model that robert gave me a long time ago. It inspired me for some ideas on the art and a new storyline (which i don't have too much to do with).
