Armored hero with car theme

Just sharing a drawing of another original character. I plan to ink and color it later. This will go to Deviantart when it's done.

I tried to design his armor in a way that's like a car. Somewhat like a transformer. hehe

I have always liked the way the Japanese design their costumes in tokusatsu (live action science fiction shows). The design often combine particular motifs with aesthetic angles and shapes on the armor. The effect is, just as I said above - they look like transformers. Humanoid shapes with vehicle parts on them that fit. I am trying to capture that on my character designs.

Star Searcher Zeric

I once thought VR Troopers was the first time Shaider was adapted in America. I was wrong.

Introducing Zeric, the Star Searcher. He's Shaider all the way, but with a red and blue version. The blue version is Zeric, while the red version is called Namrood. I have no idea what their story is.

This is the Shaider toy repackaged for the US market in 1986. I never had this, though I have the Action Works Shaider by Megahouse now. Nevertheless, lucky is the guy who got their hands on this.
