Anyway: shout-out to the people who design the suits for various monsters, aliens, robots, and other creatures, especially in tokusatsu.
Personally, I'd like to give a special shout-out to the people who made the suits for the Fangires in Kamen Rider Kiva (2008). These suits have a lot of work put into the design and motifs: each one is based off a different creature, but they all have a stained-glass pattern with a hidden bird motif. Here are a few of my favourites:
Anyway, it would be fun if people added to this post with their favourite suit designs. It doesn't have to necessarily be from a typical "toku" show, as long as it's a practical suit instead of cgi. After all, a lot of work goes into making these!
i saw that ask you recently answered from someone who was curious about kamen rider and i gotta say i found you because of your twst art and i got super curious about toku too. now i am slowly watching a bunch of toku and im enjoying it all so much so thank you!
it's all coming together >:)
I'm really glad you're enjoying it! it's immensely flattering that people decided to check out toku because of my art, and I know there's also been a couple of people who follow me for toku and decided to check out Twst! I'm out here infecting everyone, one dumb shitpost at a time.
this definitely isn't just so I can draw crossover fanart nope
made a little something ill call “the spectrum of gay repression amongst secondary riders” bc it is a phenomenon to be studied. many thanks to @shoceted for his input. also feel free to add!! this is a community effort or something
