Description
Well, ladies and gents, this is the redesigned End Fighter, informally known as End Fighter 2.0 Revive.Let's break it down with the design notes:
First off, the most striking and noticeable part of the redesign would probably be the Helmet. and EYES. EF still has his signature domed face, but the eyes exist for 2 major purposes. The first being to give EF a more mecha-like appearence, and the second is to allow more emotive expressions when he'll thrown into comedic situations.
You may also notice that the helmet itself now has extending guards to cover the jawline, but this again is to give him a more mecha feel.
The second big feature would be his chest armor. I was converted from a breast plate for making his design more heroic , giving him a feel reminiscent of some newer Masked Riders, with a secondary reason of allowing more dynamic transformations when he changes forms, and a tertiary reason of making a real life suit easier to wear...
I'll admit that I still have a way to go with proportions, but I think the idea is still given across fairly well.
This is actually the last version of this drawing, but I'll post backwards.
Anyway, I want to hear comments and opinions!

hmmm...quite old school.. >_<
overall i think the design can be more complex a bit.
and what is the motive of the design?
eg: Kuuga = bug
Agito = Chinese Dragon
Ryuki = Knight (mascot is chinese dragon)
etc...

Thank you, I was going for the old school look.
My skills as an artist are quite limited, so I'm comfortable with a bare look (since it reminds me of Kamen Rider 1). Perhaps I can make this character's power-up forms more complex?
As for the motive, I guess I based his design on 70's mecha (giant robots like Gundam and Layzner)

beside the design, there is other ways to make the character looks cool,
draw muscle body like western style comic, like Marvel or DC style.
the superheroes does have very simple design but they look good because the body anatomy is good.

Go right ahead, dude!
Actually, if you want, we can write some jokes about the costume switch in there:
"Hey End Fighter, when did you change costumes?"
"Ugh. I didn't, I got retconned."
"You got what?"
"Exactly."

Well, if you need any help at all, just let me know. I've been focusing on writing and scripting ever since the tournament, so I can help with grammar, pacing, ideas, etc.
