Jetman - Green Eagle
 

As everyone may perhaps know, the end of Chojin Sentai Jetman saw the death of Gai Yuki, Black Condor. What you may not be aware of is that the series had a sequel in the form of a manga. This manga also featured a replacement for Black Condor, Green Eagle. Well I wound up with an extra S.H. Figuarts Black Condor and wanted to try my hand at shopping what Green Eagle would look like. There are no reference photos for his design other than this:

The manga diverges from the series in a couple of ways, including the odd visor like design of the helmets. Sort of like Gatchaman. Using Black Condor as a base, here's what I came up with in GIMP.

Thoughts?

awesome job man :thumb:

Nice, but I'm used to seeing Green Eagle as a lighter, more standard green.

How light exactly? I'm not aware of any official pictures of him other than the one I posted. At least not colored ones.

Standard Senshi Green. And don't think they're official, they're just sprite pics from deviantArt.

If I hadn't read the trope page for Jetman the other day, I'd be like "WTH is this?". Green Eagle looks pretty good.

Based on how dark the manga art was I just went a little dark myself.
Thanks! I'm actually trying to track down a decent customizer to paint my extra Black Condor in Green Eagle colors. Just trying to figure out what the best colors would really be for him.

Nice work, I quite like how the green has come out with a metallic sheen to it.

That was.... intentional. Completely intentional :lol

Having done similar digibashes in the past myself, I'd guessed as much ;)
