The "Design a Character" Tokunation Contest

TokuChris · 06-16-2012, 09:00 PM

Hey Tokusatsu fans!

As you undoubtedly know, there's over 200 Super Sentai and over 50 Kamen Rider characters simply in two variations of Tokusatsu. Include all the other smaller, lesser-known (older) series (Ultraman, Metal Heroes, Gavin, etc.), as well as American-only Tokusatsu (Tattooed Teenagers from Beverly Hills, TMNT: Next Mutation, etc.) ... that's a lot of different characters!

On our logo, we like to put current and/or popular Tokusatsu characters ... right now we're featuring the "new" theme - so we have Stag and Beet Buster Rangers, Kamen Rider Fourze Cosmic States, Kamen Rider Meteor Storm, and Akibaranger Red! The joy of having a picture that you can change out no-hassel is we can feature anything and anyone we want to! And what we want to do is feature something YOU create!

TokuNation.com wants you to create your own Tokusatsu character! Draw, re-color, photoshop, whatever, your own Tokusatsu character and the staff will vote on which character we feature on our logo! The contest runs until Monday, July 9th at 11:59pm EST. The rules are simple!

Your entry must be original. Do not find another Fan-art character and claim it as your own
You can enter as many entries as you wish
You can use any form of photo/image editting software
Entry can be 2D drawn artwork, 3D artwork, photoshop of existing characters. NO PIXEL SPRITE ENTRIES PLEASE.

That's it!

Feel free to submit your entry in this thread. Good luck!

Well, here's my first Idea, Toku-Chan! A girl who uses the powers of different Toku. Her main features come from Fourze, RedBuster and AkibaYellow. Hope you like! (One purpose for her is if Tokunation ever does an April Fools day thing, she could be featured as the only image on the page

)

My second and male character entry will be designed and up tomorrow ^_^

Okey dokey, here's my submission!

Not quite sure what to call him, but the name I've got for right now is "TokuPatriot"

His giant hammer turns into a large cannon. The sides fold down, and the bottom portion of the handle unplugs from the top portion/main barrel and plugs into the bottom of where the scope is to form the handle of the cannon.

He also has a small firearm which charges by pulling up the back portion of the gun, making it also look like a "T"

So, "T's" everywhere! Enjoy!

I like Repair Bays right now because we seem to be on the same page about the "T" thing. But perhaps it could be coloured to fit the websites colour scheme of Green, Gold & Grey.

Times like this it makes me wish I could draw

Am I allowed to enter?

botmarley · 06-26-2012, 04:12 PM

Here are my TokuMan early sketches. I tried to incorporate Sentai, Kamenrider and Godzilla together. I tried to have the "T" from the logo be in the face of the mask and tried to make it part of the belt and also have the belt resemble King Ranger's belt as well. If you like I'll continue with this idea and refine it some more.

Sentai · 06-26-2012, 04:13 PM

I vote Bot. That just looks EPIC.

Thank you sooooo much! I'm open to feedback on changes to the design so please feel free to send me your ideas. I think with your vote I'll go ahead and do a cleaned up version of this current design and add some color. Thanks again, Sentai!
