Description It's been a while since I did anything pixel related. This is a new Kamen Rider based on some of the rumors I've been reading about the next rider after Fourze. I was reading rumors about a painting-based rider of sort, with a palette-like belt. So I took that and ran with it.

This is Kamen Rider Gozu/Goes/Go's. Obviosuly about the Japanese word for 5, "go", δΊ”. "Zu", ε›³, means drawing. So his title is literally Five Drawings. Not exactly paintings, but still centered around the artist theme. As such, he has five forms, based on different elements, and each has its own weapon.

The red form is the Scorching Portrait. This form's element is fire and its weapon is the Scorch Scimitar. This form is designed around triangles and sharper angles.
The green form is the Quaking Landscape. This form's element is earth and its weapon is the Quake Hammer. This form is designed around quadrangles.
The indigo form is the Flooding Mural. This form's element is water and its weapon is the Flood Spear. This form is designed around crescent curves.
The pale purple form is the Whirling Photo. This form's element is wind and its weapon is the Wind Pistol. This form is designed around ovals and circles.
The white form is the ultimate form, the Shimmering Masterpiece. It's element is light, and the bands around the shoulders and arms can absorb solar radiation and also emit it as a sort of weapon or distraction. Its weapon is the Shimmering Sword, which is able to access the other forms weapons as well, by pushing town the point on the star that corresponds to that weapon. This form is designed around stars and pentagons.

Gozu henshins by using the GoBrush and Palette Driver. He presses the buttons for a form on both the the brush and driver, then swipes the brush over the driver to access the form. The brush then transforms into that forms respective weapon. In order to change forms, Gozu holds the brush end of a weapon, pushes another form's button on the drive, and swipes the weapon across the driver. In the tradition of catchphrases, Gozu says "This is my masterpiece!" before he swipes the brush and says "Henshin!"

I wanted to go more retro with the design, kinda harken back to the simpler designs of Kuuga and Agito for Gozu. Kind of simple black suits with changing armor forms. In that sense, Gozu is also kinda like Den-O, except for the different masks. The design has a lot of sets of five incorporated into it to go along with the theme of five.

Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

I take it that Scorching Portrait is the 'default' form of this Rider?

Rockara [2012-11-24 17:00:41 +0000 UTC]

my idea for this before was a palette belt and brush but going with a collectible gimmick made so you can swap the colors with different colors, i called them Color Solids and they were cylinders that connect into the belt. plus he had 6 forms relating to six main colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple) and a final form called Rainbow Form. this idea belonged to a rider concept called "Fresco" or "FresGo"

this was the concept art i did for that old concept

Brought to you by google translate: Gozu - First you. It's interesting because you said something about wanting a simpler older design like Kuuga, who was the first hesei rider. The "you" part, could be that the rider is art themed, and you're an artist.

I have the translation I wanted to use in the descritption actually. And the one I have I think makes much more sense. But thanks.

The new Kamen rider is Kamen Rider Wizard, but I think I would rather have this instead of Kamen Rider Wizard. Pretty neat.

Taiko554 In reply to Gray-Vizard [2012-05-07 17:41:28 +0000 UTC]

Damn, I forgot to mention that. Similar to the henshin and form change process. He points the brush end of his weapon at the enemy and writes out attack or end, and then slashes/shoots/hammers/etc.

Gray-Vizard In reply to Taiko554 [2012-05-08 22:12:05 +0000 UTC]

Taiko554 In reply to Gray-Vizard [2012-05-08 22:46:20 +0000 UTC]

Yea, but Gozu only really writes out a few things: henshin, a respective form, and final attack. And I would say his writings wouldn't be as exact or small as Shinkengers. Since he's an artist, the brush stroks would be large and he would be all over the place and animated while making them...like painting a huge piece real quick, I guess.

Gray-Vizard In reply to Taiko554 [2012-05-09 01:25:33 +0000 UTC]

one thought I had with the concept (meaning if I was doing a rider with this gimmick) is instead of the brush becoming the handle of the weapon he would use it to Paint his weapons in the air sort of like Fourze pen switch

I actually did, kind of as a base to work off of. But I saw no reason to keep it around as an actual form.

Well, a lot of series, epically Japanese shows use the idea of these elements in a series. Epically if Japan can make money off of the product.

This looks really cool

But sadly, so far there are not too much official info of the next rider, however; i can like to see some really cool things of him and that he has slightly different personality than Tsukasa (Decade), Shotaro and Phillip (W), Eiji (OOO) and Gentaro (Fourze)

I really like it. The way you expanded on the rumour and created a whole concept is pretty cool. My favourite designs are theQuaking Landscape, the Floodinf Mural and the Shimmering Masterpiece. The shoulder guards on those three are really excellent, especially on Shimmering Masterpiece.
