Here we go! I unfortunately couldn't get things wrapped up and ready by Saturday, but here we are. This is going to be the centeral hub of all things crowdsourcing for additional Kyurangers!
The goal is to eventually have an individual Kyuranger design for each Kyutama from 1-88 and Cerberus/Kereberos. The first problem is the sheer number of potential rangers, 89! I simply cannot design 89 helmet designs all on my own. Secondly, and as I'm sure you're aware, Kyuranger's kyutama are varied in color but also tend to kinda repeat colors. So I devised a headcanon based around the rebellion that makes sense and will help solve that repetitive color issue. This also evolved form the question of "If Kotaro had to go to HQ to get 'trained', who else is at the HQ?" Basically, there is a set of 12 command/ranked officers (Ryu Commander and Ooguma Commodore fall in this category) with titles based on military ranks. The rebellion is governed by the three highest: Ho Marshal, Tomo General, and Ryukotsu Admiral. Then there's a set of soldiers who had fought alongside Tsurigi/HououSoldier in the past, all of these with the title constellation+soldier. So what I'm needing from people are helmet designs and color choices for each kyutama/constellation, one per person. First designed, first confirmed.
If you'd like to participate, the rules are simple:
1) Choose a kyutama/constellation. You get one. Do not provide multiple and ask me to choose. It's your choice FOR ONE.
2) Design a helmet/visor. This MUST BE YOUR OWN WORK. DO NOT steal another person's design. DO NOT link another person's work and saying you want that design used. The helmet/visor must be your own design. And must be in your gallery. In your response below, simply provide a link to the helmet in your gallery. The design can be on pen-and-paper or digital. You can use my template's base helmet if that's easier, but DO NOT USE MY KYURANGER PIXELS. If I or others find that your design is stolen from somebody else, you're out of the project. Plain and simple.
3) Give the ranger a title. The punnier with star/ster (Food Mesi-Star, Dragon Ma-Star, Space Bu-Star) the better, obviously. But simplicity is still key.
4) Chose a color based on the color of the kyutama. It cannot be a color already in use by another Kyuranger. As people's rangers are confirmed by me, there will be fewer and fewer color choices. I will try my best to update this with colors already claimed to reduce the headache. But it'd also help if people, ya know, read other comments to ensure their color choice isn't already taken.
5) In 10 words or less, describe any unique features to your Kyuranger (ex: scorpion tail; fur on limbs; robotic body; scales on limbs; wings on back; scarf and mittens). Simply put 'No Unique Features' if you want the suit to more resemble the standard M/F suit on Shishi Red/Chameleon Green).
6) There will be no reserving a kyutama/constellation or color. Only comment once you have a helmet design made. Plain and simple. This is the most fair means to move forward with this project.
7) Be patient. This is not going to be completed in the near term. I will try to upload the additional rangers in chunks as completed. I work 9hour days and like sleep, but will confirm ranger details when I can.
*Please note: I have preset kyutama that relate to the seven remaining ranked officers and their titles. I have also preset the kyutama which relate to the seven remaining soldiers. However, I am not revealing what these are. It should go without saying that all ranked officers will have symmetrical chests and dusters like Ryu Commander and all soldiers will share Houou Soldier's suit design. I have gender ratios set for both sets. Once this ratio is met, any further rangers will have to be the required gender to keep it, regardless of submitter's choice (sorry). If your kyutama/constellation choice happens to be one of these presets, I will let you know. Possibly by note to keep it secret, TBD.*
*Please also note, we're gonna be shooting for anywhere from 33-40% females as a whole of the 88. Between 29-35 females, including those four already made.*
**DO NOT STEAL ANOTHER PERSON'S ARTWORK**
**DO NOT USE MY KYURANGER PIXELS. I WILL MAKE ALL THE SUITS**
CONFIRMED DETAILS:
Available Kyutama Remaining: None
Otherwise, good luck and welcome to the rebellion! I will credit the original designers in the uploads.

2023 Reading Challenge - 3rd Year Running
The last three years I've been challenging myself to read more. I've got a bunch on my bookshelves now, which is really fun to look at. And for the second year running, I've eclipsed the previous year's total: in 2022 I read 45 books; in 2023, I've read 50. Just shy of one per week! Taking a few longer vacations surely helped carve out more time for relaxing and reading. I've started branching out from the previous M.O. of looking to award winners, looking more at authors I've enjoyed the last few years and taking recommendations from friends. Like last year's summary, I'm not a literary analyst so I'm binning these books in four categories: two recommends and two not recommends. A few entries get an additional lil blurb. Loved and Recommend: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman The Dresden Files (1-15) by Jim Butcher (will finish the series as-is in 2024) Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee (possibly my new favorite
Another Infographic Admin Question
K so. On this gigantic all sentai/ranger infographic AKA the one with broader inclusions, I had an idea based on some comments. You can find it here: Is there merit in adding another row at the bottom, separated and below the ally/support characters...for transforming villains. Now, when I say 'transforming villains' I mean a very specific category, not meant to be wholly inclusive of everysingledamnvillain in the franchise. It would be URRRT-Villains: UnRedeemed, Recurring, Regularly-Transforming Villains (I know, I know, I need to work on coming up with better acronyms!). This would be for villains which have a human and a fully face-covered transformed form, both of which have at least three appearances in their respective show/crossovers, which the character regularly transforms between. It would not include villainous/evil armors which have multiple human-faced users; it would not include human disguises; it would not include villains permanently transformed from
A few admin questions
I have a few questions and am looking for input. I asked the first as a status earlier this week but figured it might get more engagement here. Thanks for the earlier in put there, tho. *Question 1: The Stage Show Rangers need a color cell in the gigantic 'All Sentai/Ranger Infographic'. Some are easier to pin to a single cell than others, and my preference is for a unique color cell not already in use. Chaosryuger (Kyoryuger) - crimson/other red Yamin #0 (Toqger) - black Dark Shishi Red/Shishi Red Orion (Kyuranger) - hardest to pin; white? gray? Red, black, and crimson are already in use for the series. Ryusoul Moria (Ryusoulger) - silver...maybe gray? Stan Cross (Zenkaiger) - black *Question 2: Were the toy-exclusive RPM Paelomax Rangers ever in a comic? I feel like I saw them in one/on a cover once, but I could be misremembering as I haven't been able to find any confirmation. I kinda thought they were included in the varying "all colors flying out from the center" covers
2022 Challenge - Read More (...again)
Like last year, I set myself the challenge of reading more in 2022. It wasn't a resolution this time, just a personal challenge to read more books in 2022 than I had in 2021. All totaled, in 2021 I read 20 books. In 2022, I read 45! Sooo, crushed it! Similar to last year, I pulled largely from award winners, looking at various winners/nominees across 10 or so awards. I also snagged a couple from friend/family recommendations. Like last year's summary, I'm not a literary analyst so I'm binning these books in four categories: two recommends and two not recommends. Loved and Recommend: Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark Trail of Lightning and Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter, European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman, and The Sinister Mystery of the Mesmerizing Girl by Theodora Goss The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi Scythe, Thunderhead, and The Toll by Neal Shusterman Redshirts by John Scalzi The City of Brass, The

Choukokushitsu Burgundy should be more based on the Kyutama, making him Choukokushitsu Grape.
