Description
Heh, another maddening upload since that worked so well last time.
Kamen Rider Geiz is the second rider of Zi-O. He's from the future so that's cool. His dual-red design is nice. The continued use of the off silver-blue is nice. Aaand that's about all the praise I've got. I'm actually keeping my fingers crossed that he ends up being Ohma Zi-O of the future rather than the current Zi-O/Sougo.
Geiz is kinda emblematic of my issue with modern Rider series. He debuts in the very first episode of Zi-O AND debuts an alternate form. You don't even have time to enjoy Zi-O's design in his very first episode (of his series) before you're shown another rider and an alternate form. Just, c'mon Rider. Let your audience get used to, and maybe form an affinity for your main rider and/or his form before whip-lashing us into other riders and forms. And the issue is compounded when it feels so constant nowadays to have so much shown so early on. Every other series or so would make it feel special, but it's just not a norm I like. I should actually rewatch the first episode of each Hesei series and see how many show so much in the first episode. It's just too much, far too soon.
Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

FAQI thought it might be a good idea to make a FAQ so I can just link this rather than answer each time these type of questions come up. I think the below is a decent list of catch-all questions I tend to get a lot, but if I think of others I've missed, I'll add them later.
How do you make the images/which programs? I use two different programs, Paintbrush and Acorn. Any program that allows you to edit pixel-by-pixel will get the job done.
Can you teach me how to___? Not really, the only general teaching advice I have is take your time and pay attention to details. If you rush, it’s obvious and will look bad.
Can you help with___? So long as you can take constructive criticism and you don’t expect me to do any actual pixel work, sure.
Can I use___? No. I am very protective of my work.
Are you taking requests/trades/commissions? Requests are a no. Trades are a no as well.

Y'know, if a show's going to introduce new forms every episode, they should at least give us an ensemble cast like Gaim or Ex-Aid.

The "ensemble cast" is kinda/sorta all the guests this year.

Fair enough, but I was getting at having more new Riders. More people to fight over and split the Rider powers.

See, but they don't need to fight over the forms, that's annoying. Kabuto, Hibiki, Ryuki all did the multiple riders bit without having alt forms to share around.

Yeah, that's fair. I was just thinking that if they have to sell toys, they could at least divide up the power to make it come in more naturally.

Or it could be someone else other then Geiz anf Shougo, it's possible.

Well, at least we are getting a 1 episode break next week before introducing a new form, whatever that's worth...

This suit is fantastic, and you did a really good job on it. But I will agree that they should have waited a bit before introducing him. I honestly feel like the first two or three episodes of a Rider show should be dedicated to the main hero's default form, at a minimum. If they just did that, and then went wild with upgrades and shit, I wouldn't mind.

Thank you, exactly. Like, with Build, you're whiplashed into new forms immediately. Other than the weird chart/graph, can you tell me anything about his Rider Kick? How many times it was used? Remember series where that was the lead Rider's main finisher? Patrick remembers.

Build used his Rider kick a bit actually. I know it was used at least once with the RabitRabit form, and Genus form actually did it a lot.
But I see what you're getting at. The iconic kick is far less used these days.

Agreed on the whole "too many debuts too soon" thing. While I've been able to mostly ignore it, it is getting a little tiresome to see a new form every new episode. Here's hoping that if they continue on this "formula" for next year, they at least do something like Fourze or Drive where the new toys are just minor-add-ons instead of whole new suits, or like Wizard where they're just new abilities. Not at all would be preferable, but this strategy is selling toys over there, so I don't see it realistically stopping anytime soon.
As for Geiz himself, I like him a bit more then Zi-O's default, actually. The two-tone red and yellow combo is perhaps a bit generic, but it's visually pleasing. And the shape of his eye/visor thing is also pretty cool. It's a very striking design and stands out from Zi-O by a wide margin without changing too many of the details.

I just need a slower series. Hell, I love Kabuto and that series didn't even introduce Kabuto's main/rider form til episode two. That probably wouldn't fly these days.
Geiz's color scheme is pretty solid, true.

Definitely not. Can't sell the toys if the toys don't show up.

Since the beginning, I knew that you will also draw Geiz, Well done, dude!
