Hola amigos! It is Friday and today I shall sing to you about the most delicious food in the whole world! Orrrrrrrr I’ll just share a flashback.

Dais is the sneakiest of the Dark Warlords. He’s the Warlord of Illusion so you know he’s not going to put himself out there if he doesn’t have to. I mentioned this last week that I like his armor design the best of the Warlords.

Here’s our old friend Clive in Dais’ armor. The legs bother me as they have on pretty much every piece in this set. This isn’t as bad as Sekhmet last week, but I’m still not happy with this one. It exists.

Here’s the comparison to the original. The original is kinda soft when it comes to details, and the proportions were still weak, but it was alright.

That’s all for the week and that’s the last of the Warlords. Who’s coming up next week? Come back Friday to find out!

Flashback Friday – Sekhmet, Dark Warlord of Venom

Friiiiiiiiiiiday! Yeah!

Sekhmet is the creepiest of the Dark Warlords, with the snake theme and the dark personality. He has a great voice. I prefer Dais’s armor, but I like Sekhmet more as a character.

Here’s Wilson of the Pickle Patch Bandits as Sekhmet. I won’t sugar coat it. This one isn’t one of my best. I just pushed through and finished it. It’s definitely the weakest piece in the set.

Here’s a comparison to the original. If the original were smoother and in the right proportions I’d say it was a much better piece overall. I don’t often say that.

That’s all for this week. The last of the Dark Warlords shows up next Friday.

Flashback Friday – Cale, Dark Warlord of Darkness

Time for a flashback!

Cale is the Dark Warlord of Darkness. As expected, he often ends up pitted against Sage of Halo who harnesses the light. I think Cale is the least spectacular of the Warlords. He’s just there.

Hey! It’s Nolan of the Pickle Patch Bandits! It’s been so long since we’ve seen him. Here he is in his only mash-up participation to date.

Here’s a comparison to the original. Again, the proportions to the original are off, but it maybe doesn’t show as much with Nolan given that he’s taller than most of the other characters.

That’s all for this week! Another Dark Warlord emerges next Friday!

Flashback Friday – Anubis, Dark Warlord of Cruelty

Hey there! Time to flashback!

I think Ronin Warriors is one of the earliest shows I remember with a redeemed villain storyline. Anubis is the youngest of the Dark Warlords and ostensibly Talpa’s favorite. The Ancient manages to get through to him and he turns over a new leaf trying to follow in the Ancient’s footsteps and do the same for Lady Kayura. It’s great stuff.

I know that when I think cruelty, I think Cyran. He was the natural choice to gear up in the Armor of Cruelty.

Here’s a comparison to the original. I dig the perspective I was going for in the original. I could not figure it out again for the remake.

That’s all for this week. Another Dark Warlord joins the fray next Friday!

Flashback Friday – Kento of Hard Rock

Hey there! I’m writing this on Thursday so I don’t forget to post it on Friday. That’s forward thinking!

Kento of Hard Rock is the barista at a cafe that celebrates rock and roll. Okay, so that’s not quite true. His family does in fact own a restaurant but I don’t believe it has any rock and roll theming.

Here we have Barnaby as the hard-hitting if somewhat dimmer-witted Kento. I can’t say I really like this piece. It’s as much as I could muster for this, my least favorite of all the armor designs. Shame, since it’s my favorite colour.

Here’s the comparison to the original. This was one of the better ones in the originals ironically. Barnaby’s proportions lent themselves better to wearing the Ronin armor.

That’s it for this week. A new mash-up comes atcha next Friday!
