Taiko554's Pixel Art

[taiko554]

It's been more than a year since I opened this thread, so this needs a new intro post. I'm Taiko554, real name is Patrick. It doesn't really matter what you call me of those two, but please not "Pat" or "Patty". Anyway, one of my main hobbies is to make pixel images. I've made quite a few since I've started. I do take requests from time to time. If you would like to make a request, do it in this thread or shoot me a PM. Let me know what exactly it is you want, and I may make it. It's not set in stone just because a request has been made. Please enjoy my gallery and feel free to comment!


First off, some PR pics:

Red Battlized Ranger

Lost Galaxy Rangers with Lights of Orion. (without weapons, obviously)

Blue and Green Battlized Rangers (no weapons)

Now for some fun:

Bulk and Skull in traditional bully gear, and then in uniform.


PR Wild Force Hybrid Forms. The animal parts are mine, the rest is Acatl's.

The templates, clothes, hairs, and original bases are all Acatl's. The rest of the stuff is mine. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

Wow great start.I like these sprites

[Tomias Kaimizu]

Keep up the great work

[taiko554]

thanks. but I can't keep making new images, I don't have a working program for it anymore. Therefore, all the stuff I post here are images I made a while back. So yea, it pretty much sucks that I cant keep making these, because I really liked doing it. O well, "c'est la vie".
so here is one of the PR teams I came up with.
I cal them Tenshi Sentai Virtueranger/ Power Rangers Virtue Saints
*The team is based off the heavenly virtues*

1! The Righteous Warrior! Virtue Red! (Justice)
2! The Loyal Soldier! Virtue Blue! (Faith)
3! The Controlled Monk. Virtue Green! (Temperance)
4! The Wishful Maiden. Virtue Yellow! (Hope)
5! The Aiding Princess. Virtue Pink! (Charity)
6! The Resilient Hunter. Virtue Violet! (Fortitude)
7! The Careful Guide. Virtue Orange! (Prudence)
I didn't really come up with a roll call for the PR version. Oh well.
All right, so the suits have some hidden meanings. On their helmets and belts, there is the kanji for heaven. Also, each ranger has a set number of "spikes" on the helmet--> which leads to their number. The chest is meant to looks like a new age crusader tunic. Their arms have a cross on them too. The helmets are based loosely on the Gosei Sentai Dairanger helemts.
Now that they're up, here are their enemies. Since the good guys represent the heavenly virtues, the bad guys naturally represent the deadly sins.

from left to right:
Sloth: punishment was to be thrown into snake pits, so that's why there are scales on his chest and his eyes are snake-ish. I also made his head a bonier (the skull on Acatl's site) and his nostrils bigger. Color is supposed to be a dark yellow.
Envy: punishment was to be put in freezing water, so her skin and hair are iced, and lips and eyes are purple b/c of cold. Color is dark blue.
Gluttony: punishment was to be force-fed snakes and toads, so I instead went with starvation, hint the worn/old look. Color is supposed to be dark orange, but it turns out to look brown, so w/e.
Pride: punishment was to be broken on the wheel, so he has a suit which keeps his body together. Color is dark red.
Anger: punishment was dismemberment. body is mechanical, and his head is in a jar (cliche, I know). Color is supposed to be dark violet.
Lust: punishment was to be smothered in fire and brimestone, so there are burn marks all over her body and her hair is flaming (why not?), and her eyes are inspired by Ghost Rider's penance stare effect. Color is supposed to be dark pink/dark magenta.
Greed: punishment was to be put in boiling oil, so there are little boils all over. Color is dark green.
They're all in black b/c they're the baddies. The kanji on their clothes is the Japanese translation of the sin they represent.
And I made two of the sins pre-punishment.

Anger/Anthony. Gluttony/Greg.

Again, the credit belongs to Acatl and his templates, hairs and clothes. I edited Acatl's clothes to make some of the sins' clothes and Anthony's jacket. I think all the hairs are just edited, or combined from those Acatl has on his site. Everything on Greg is mine, except the shoes. The rangers' colors are all the same saturation and luminosity, just something I did. The suits are all mine, as well are all the punishment effects.

Wooaaahhh awesome Dairanger suits and woooooooot for these villains

[taiko554]

another team, my first attempt at an original ranger team. their helmets are the same as Virtue Rangers b/c I got lazy when i got to the Virtue Rangerslazy.

I call these the Alchemy Rangers. the symbols on their chests are alchemic symbols. Red is Phosphorous. Blue is Mercury. Green is Magnesium. Yellow is Potassium. Pink is Antimony.
and just for ****s and giggles, here's Link from Zelda:

again, same credits. Acatl for templates, clothes are just an edit.

[Dekaranger]

Looks really cool and lol for Link XD XD

[Mr. Gold]

Awesome job on your pixel arts!!

I found my Kiva pics, but there's a few versions of Kiva.
this is my first version of Wataru and Kiva. along with Kivat and the fuestles.
Otoya in 2 ugly jackets!
a female version of Kiva. Kivat was given eyelashes and ruby red lips to make it a female version of Kivat.
Kiva with a different leg armor and Darkness Moon Break activated.
this is the new Wataru, in various outfits he wore early on in the series. From top left: random with the Kiva symbol on the jacket, and the Japanese for "Wake Up" on the shirt (I hope that's what it says). then Wataru after Kivat bites him for the henshin. the next is ep.1 Wataru where he's allergic to the world. next is wataru from ep. 2 when he rides machine Kivaa. bottom left is when Wataru is a waiter in ep. 7. then Wataru and Kivat from ep. 13 when Kivat washes Wataru's hair for him. last is Wataru from eps. 13/14 when he's a construction worker w/ Kengo. the other lil' things are different Kivats, the Bloody Rose, Kivat's "home/room" violin, and Wataru's guitar Kengo gives him.
the arms monsters in human form, as Jiro, Ramon, and Rikki. along with various games they have played in Castle Dran.
Kiva in all his forms, up to Dogabaki. this is the most accurate Kiva I could find. By that, I mean the chains are actual chain links, not lines like in my first version. and the leg armor isn't all f'ed up like D.M.B. version.
Nago and IXA Save & Burst modes, with his fuestles.
the movie only Kamen Rider Rei and ReiKivat.
clockwise from upper left corner: Garulu Saber, Bashaa Magnum, Dogga Hammer, Bloody Rose, guitar, Kivat's home, IXA Calibur in gun and sword modes, and IXA knuckle. (the Dogga Hammer isn't to scale, so it looks bigger than it should be)
Spider Fangire in human form with 'puppets'
the owner of the Mal d'Amour, Kido.

This is all I could do for Kiva before my system crashed. It really sucks b/c I can't finish all the people and rider forms. somebody on RB attempted to, but it's not the same since I'm not making them.
So the credit is to Acatl again for his templates and the hairs of the of Nago, Jiro, Kido, and I think the original Wataru's hair. The second version of Wataru's hair is mine, as is Otoya's, Spider Fangire, Rikki, and Ramon's. The clothes are from Acatl as well, although I edited them. All the Kiva & IXA armor, along with their weapons, Kivat, Rei, etc. is all mine.
So yea, that's it for my Kiva pics. I do have a few animations though, when characters henshin into riders. I'll post those later.

[Mr. Gold]

SUPER AWESOME work on your Kiva stuff!!!
