Si's Gallery

Hi, I'm New and, well, here is my gallery.

I've only got one Micro at the moment but here it is.


AkaRed From Boukenger Vs. Super Sentai

The Template Body, Boots and Original Belt were From CopperAgeComics, Everything Else was done by me.

Feel free to criticise and use parts from him, providing you give credit.

I'll Probably put new Micro's on this post rather than later on in the thread but i'm not sure.

Critique Welcome

not bad for your first micro

Thanks, I Appreciate it.

Not bad, though you may want to try using some of the three shade templates.

Three shades or more for microheroes and templates is the new standard. But some irreducible old school continue to use only two.

It is a nice start for a first micro.

Thank you for the comments.

I didn't know about three shade templates, but i'll use them from now on, and probably start by redoing AkaRed.

Are there any points about the actual design of the micro, in comparison to his actual appearance. I know he should have a badge on his chest but I figured it would be too difficult to do.

Let me start if by saying as a first micro this is very good and I like the simple sleek design. But if you want pointers some I hope will help:
I think if you go into the template section and play with some three shade templates and maybe use some glove and boots temps it could look a bit cleaner. Also Id add black lines around the 'V' stip. Perhaps make the shoulder/neck things bigger. Maybe look at some other Sentai/Power Ranger micros for the style of the mouth.

Also I may make my own version as a gift later on but first want you to improve or else Im just giving you the end result in a sense lol

Start with a few of these points and already you should see some evolution.

The gloves are wrong, they should go up to halfway on his arm and not be limited to the wrists.

The head should be different as well, the shape isn't very helmet like here and he shouldn't have ears.

The middle X on the belt should be bigger then the other two, and the belt should be all the width of his body.


Oh and I don' know if you work with references or by memory, but using references can help a lot since memory can be faulty.

THank you Dax and Quester for the advice, I'll be sure to implement it.

QUester, thank you for the offer, though I will wait till I've redone AkaRed before even asking If you'll do it.

where can I find three shade boot templates, anyone?

I won't be able to make any for a few weeks, as i have exams coming up.

What kind of boots?

very nice start Si

In the same kind of style as the two shades I had used for my first

The best way is to make them yourself.

Either you draw them from scratch, or you use the two shades as a base and add a third shade to it.

I have some stuff. I will send them to you in a pm to locate them.

Right I'm back, I had exams followed by important work to deal with but that's all done now.
Any way, here is my second micro, though it is essentially a rework of the original:

AkaRed MK II
Credit to Dax for the body template and OmnisRa for the Boots, and thank you to both of you.
I will probably improve on the design a little more, but oh well.

its a great first micro! and the rework looks even promising! yes i rememeber my first micro (very horrible lol) keep up the good work and don't be afraid to play around with other temps....this is how you will find a style you are comfortable with

Really like that micro (though I tend to prefer black lines thats just my thing and its good your developing your own stlye). The only thing I would change is the mouth gaurd. Try looking at these micros- dont borrow but be inspired maybe.


I hope Spyda doesnt me posting this here but I have specified stealin is a no-no:

Uh hi, I'm Si but shortly after my last post my laptop went bust and I haven't looked back on here since, forgot my username which was a bad start, will I have to create a new gallery or would I be allowed this one?

As long as you can remember what you're email address is, you can go to the thing that says "forgot my password" and type it in and then you're good after going to your email to see what it was!

I am a longwinded son of a $@*%&! Or at least there!

And I'm back, any ideas of what I could start by doing
