Character Design Contest ♯50- More Great Tastes: Kung Fu Edition

Going old school CDC this week, with a two great tastes set up. Basically I want you to make genre mash up between martial arts style (that means ninjas too) and another genre, superhero, western, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, pirates, funny animals, what ever you can think of. Hopefully, you guys can do some interesting stuff with this, as last time we did a TGT contest it had the highest entry number of any contest I've done.

No limits on entries this week, the contest will close at 12am Sunday (blog time). Please read the rules before entering, have fun and good luck.

Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.

And of course, considering I reviewed the last series after it had finished, I shall now go on to review the 50th anniversary, including all the special programs that I watched. I will apologise in advance, I've just come off of watching it so, yeah. Also will contain spoilers.

Character Design Contest ♯48 (Be Inspired) Poll

[polldaddy poll="7549240"]

Note: I made these choices on how well I thought the image combined with and portrayed the music and, whilst I don't expect you guys to do the same, if you are going to listen to the songs that inspired these pieces please don't just disregard a piece because you don't like the style of music. The songs are in the brackets.
