Description

Holy balls, finally.  I did not expect these to take so long.  New job and commute, busybusybusy.  Sorry, folks.  They're arranged by numbers, but not left-right; more in two halves-ish groups; but listed below numerically.  In the interest of keeping their titles flush, any "bug" suffix is removed and others are reduced to just one word.  Without any further delay, here are your 15 Extra Rangers for the crowd-sourced team, Touhyou Sentai Gunshuuger (投票戦隊グンシュウジャー, lit. Voting Squadron Crowd-ger)!!

They largely follow the core five's base suit rather than the 6/7th or any sort of happy medium between the two.  Their accent color is the ol' silver/gold hybrid rather than silver and gold getting used.  I feel like it helps make them a separate group from the core five.  Their gems still feature their insect motifs, and the upper/shoulder sash pieces also have the heads.  

Unlike the core team, the numbers for these guys would've made their sashes and helmet crests way too damn busy.  As such, the numbers got adapted to designs based around Roman numerals.  Their numerals are fit oddly for their sashes as black lines separating their respective colors, but in some cases are pretty easy to see.  For instance, Pink Mosquito has a single bar (I) going down the sash's abdomen; Navy Cricket has a V; and Azure Strider has an X.  The numeral for four (IV) becomes more of an arrow, and six (VI) becomes more of a Y.  It's how the numerals maintain the correct system design-wise, while maintaining symmetry going down the sash.  The helmet crests keep this system.  Creating the sashes in this manner was probably my favorite challenging part of these designs.

I've got some design favorites of the bunch, but to avoid hurting anyone's feelings, I'm gonna keep my favorites private.  Despite how unexpectedly long this took me, I'm pretty happy with messing around with my non-standard bases.  I also really like some of the colors I ended up using and I've laid out all the rangers in a single piece in "rainbow order" and it looked so damn wonderfully colorful.  As none of them are beetles, their names/titles are all English names.


So that's it for Gunshuuger!  For reals-ies this time.  Thank you to all those who have made this idea fun over the last year and change.  I may very well attempt something like this, maybe even make it an annual project, but I'll need a good bit of time to decompress from these guys.  I can hardly claim that the team is my idea since so many people helped make it happen, but the designs are 100% my own.  Every piece of pixel artwork here is my hard work. Please do not touch anything without permission. Thank you.
