Kamen Rider Redux

Okay...

Genocidalpenguin, I did it.

I never got into Kamen Rider/ Henshin genre... I never could get past the bodysuit and spandex these heroes were wearing... Not only that, I found Kamen Rider rather grotesque... I did go over to my friends place to watch it though... (maybe I was a closet Kamen Rider fan).

Oh well, with this sketch, I tried to over emphasize the gross factors I felt about the design of the Kamen Rider.

That whole bug... thing... and they have such smooth chest and stomache! And that silly belt with henshin power!!!

Can you tell I had a lot of fun drawing this?

(Edit: Upon reviewing the design. I felt I deviated from the original spirit of Kamen Rider little too much. So, I added a henshin Stage 01. The premise is that there are different stages of henshin a la Dragonball. In a typical hero genre struggle, when he is compelled (or forced) to have more power, he goes through another stage of transforming. Becoming an even more powerful ... ur... bug.)
