he made the rangers cool again

You're damn straight on that!

I am a huge fan of the american version of Doggie (one of my fave mentors in the franchise), and you really made him look great. Great job overall, you got his whole look down pat, and a cool addition with the textured tongue.

Thanks very much. :) I actually found the blog of his sculptor/designer while poking around for refs, and there are a lot of great photos of his head sculpt, including the inside of the mouth (where the textured tongue comes in). I linked to it in the description if that's something you'd be interested in checking out.

Thank you kindly, it looks very interesting. I still think they should've kept Doggie's wife off of the show, though, her addition in the end felt way tacked on, and compared to Doggie's suit, hers was hideous. XD

I just kept hoping that Dr. Manx was secretly Doggie's wife that was transformed by Gruumm somehow, but then that grody-looking she-beast showed up and ruined everything... XD

More like, I liked the little drama we got from thinking through the whole season that he was a widow. We knew he was, they just never rubbed it on our faces, and hinted at a Doggie/Kat thing, and I was enjoying it all, and then that thing shows up at the end and ruins everything...

Really, it seemed rather predictable that Doggie and his wife would be reunited by the end of the show . At least, I think so.

Plus the one who did the costumes did convince the writer to make sure she gets more airtime at the end, so he's kind of to blame. I personally don't see the big deal. I mean, she's not that bad looking (although I'm sure her appearance would've been rough-looking, especially being held captive). I kind of don't see the major beef about it. But then again, it's been years since I've seen SPD, so I dunno.

I kind of liked the fact he is married and made it his mission to make sure she's alive, but then again...yeah. The whole Doggie/Kat thing kept being hinted as the series progressed, and I thought she was going to confess but get rejected or something. Although, I...think she knew that his wife was alive (or he knew she was alive), so she never made an attempt to say anything. ...I think. *shrug*

Either way, I still did enjoy the series from start to finish. Would be great if he did reappear in the later seasons.

Actually, they just mentioned his wife a couple times, they had absolutely no idea that she was still alive, they assumed she was dead. That's why I say that adding her at the very end felt tacked on, because everybody thought she was dead all that time.

Really? Hm...my memories of the show is fuzzier than I thought. I was sure Doggie at least had a little faith and believed she was still alive, but captured. ...Well, like I said, been years since I've seen the show, so I only remember a few things. My bad. ^^;

Still, I don't think it's as bad as you say, but hey, everyone has different opinions/taste. ^^

(I guess the person who designed the costumes didn't want it seemed like his work on her design wasn't a waste if all they were going to do is just throw hints and barely give her any time on TV. I can kind of understand that.)

As far as the super sentai series Gokaiger is concerned, he will reappear.

Gah, I read that wrong. Well, I never really watched much of the Japanese version of the series (or any live action show in Japan), due to my curiosity appearing when my interest in the series beginning to drop. But I'm guessing Gokaiger is a newer version that hasn't appeared in the west yet? Well, it would be nice to see him on TV once more. If not, well...oh well. ^^

It is, well, was, I think its wrapping up now. Its the first super sentai series I ever sat down to watch, and ironically, its the best one I've seen so far. Its got one of the coolest gimmicks in sentai power rangers history and the most awesome red ranger ever.

Hmm...so we're talking about Power Rangers Samurai in the west, if I'm right. Admittedly, it's what got me back into watching the show, but I missed out on some episodes, due to my constantly forgetting what time it comes on. I'll probably make it up though. Looking at Wikipedia, the last episode was on December 10th, so is that it? So...I'm guessing Doggie probably won't be coming back in this version, or are they on hiatus or something?

Oh, I forgot Samurai is lasting two years instead of one. Nope. I'm not talking about Samurai. Gokaiger is the seen thats about two seasons after Samurai in the west. Afyer Samurai there is a heavem themed season and then Gokaiger's season which is a pirate motif. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0jb.....eature=related They are a power ranger group that can transform into previous super sentai teams due to special keys. Doggie makes a appearance sense throughout the series they meet and deal with previous rangers.

Hey, that actually sounds pretty cool. I hope the English adaptation is good when it comes to America.

Mmhm.

Always nice to see more pictures of this version of Doggie rather than the Japanese version (not saying that the Japanese version is bad or anything.). Very well done.

There's more Cruger art on my page if you want to see more.

I saw. Pretty impressive stuff.

...i always wondered how such a big guy always fit into such a slim Power Rangers outfit. OAO

Oh, man, thats really great! You really got the details right, it looks just like him!

Never was a fan of the shows, though, not any of the PR series though I did see SPD a few times and found them to be allright. Corny as hell on most occassions, the 'drama' shown pretty silly and the humor was a tad on the insulting side, but it was okay, I guess XD

Very nice! :D

Thanks for doing this commission for me. It looks amazing. I'll definitely have to commission you again in the future since you are one of the few that can really seem to draw him well.

You're very welcome. And I'd be happy to take on another commission from you whenever I'm open again. :)

I like him better than the other rangers ^^

Yay Doggie :D

I hear that in both the Sentai and Power Rangers version of SPD, the bad guys of the week got into giant robots at the end of the episode as opposed to turning giant themselves.

That is typically how it went most of the time, as I recall.

Most of them did get into monstrous giant robot usually claimed they developed or stolen themselves for such an occasion. There were some that grew big themselves too.

Man, this picture is just amazing. Doggie is one of my favorite characters in both Sentai and SPD.

It's an emergency!

(Doggie just needs a kiss.)

As a huge tokusatsu fan, as far as PR and its Super Sentai counterpart go, I have trouble picking which Anubis Cruger I liked most. Both are badass, especially his appearance in a recent japanese season (Yep, if its adapted for america, we will not see the last of kruger, apparently.) So, yeah, he's coming back.

this is a pretty cool drawing, also it was fun to see the production photos. so bookmarking that blog page.

Very awesome, very well done. I remember when I caught Doggie/Anubis while flipping through channels (we had Toon Disney or whatever had Jetix at the time). Ugh, absolutely fell in love with how he looked. And that link is awesome too, always cool to see in progress work like that. And some good reference really.

I wish we'd get a good figure of this version of Doggie, hah, I've got the US figure and 12", they just don't stack up.

This is cool...
They use air dryer between shoot to cool off in there costume. LOL

BTW your drawing look more alive then the actor in the movie.

Good job!

Very nice :D

Everybody was a power ranger on that show the nerd the cat lady secertary future people

I know it's usually the other way around, but I've always thought Doggie looks a lot better than his Japanese Super Sentai counterpart... I actually really liked the american SPD series... Ive seen all the episodes, some more than once, and enjoyed them... Havent seen much of Dekaranger though

I'd have to agree. I watched all of both SPD and Dekaranger, and the latter is way more goofy. It doesn't take itself seriously at all, but it's sort of refreshing in that way.

another one of my fav characters, along with zen-aku from wild force and the original ranger team.

Nice work.

Awesome! I was always impressed with Kruger's design, and you really brought it to life.
