Takatora Kureshima (from Kamen Rider Gaim) sketch in color pencil. Kamen Rider Zangetsu played by Yuki Kubota.
I need more practice drawing realistic references. So I'm thinking of sketching the actors for my favorite Kamen Riders this month.
4/4-5/2024. Koh-i-noor Woodless Color Pencil 8750/4. I drew him in light green, since it's Kamen Rider Zangetsu's signature color. But the scan came out a little desaturated, so I had to adjust some hue and lighting in Krita.
Pffft just imagine Micchy and Takatora, and Oren looking at Kouta and Mai with a kid (read: Yuzuru, it ended becoming a joint custody with the Wizard and Mage rider and allies, his parents and Kouta and Mai)...
"Ara, did Monseiur Fruit Salad and Madamoiselle Apple procreate?"
"Please do not answer his question" Takatora's tone was so done.
Micchy's eyes are just wide like saucers.
"Please do not mistake me as their child." Yuzuru had to explain to them first, his face polite but deadpan. He was most likely used to people mistaking people as his parents. Nitoh has been mistaken as Yuzuru's elder brother thankfully. Yamamoto and his wife were the most mistaken as Yuzuru's parents and that's fine.
One time Rinko was mistaken as his mom and Yuzuru almost wanted to jump off of a cliff-
"Yeah uh, he's just a friend. We're watching over him the wizards and mages." Kouta explains as Yuzuru shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly, not giving a single flying fuck. The kid is just too tired for this shit anyway.
"Well.." Mai begins to say, "I mean we are here to show him around. Do you all mind?"
"of course! I would be happy to!" Oren goes to pat Yuzuru on the head and though the young boy does take it, there is this age to him that is wise beyond his years.
No one knows where the hell Yuzuru's sass came from but they all assume it's frustration of dealing with Nitoh all the time.
Hello. How about Gaim riders reaction to their S/O almost getting killed?
Kouta: He manages to grab you and pull you away just in time to dodge a strike from an Inves. As soon as he finishes the monsters off, he detransforms and quickly gets you in his arms. “I’m alright, Kouta,” you say, trying to ease his worries. All he does is hold you tighter and breath frantically. After all that’s happened, he can’t lose you.
Kaito: You’re still recovering from almost dying when Kaito grabs you roughly by the collar of your shirt. “You could have died, you idiot!” He’s holding you so tight it almost hurts, and past his angered expression you can see the worry in his eyes. Slowly, you raise your hand to cover his, and you watch his tension drop ever so slightly. “...Don’t be reckless like that ever again.”
Micchi: You’re shaking violently and he’s holding you tightly in his arms, trying to stabilize you. He gets a hand in your hair and pulls you impossibly closer to him. “I got you, I got you, don’t worry, you’re alright.” You curl completely into him and try to breath normally. “I promise I will protect you.”
Takatora: He grabs your arm with an iron grip and doesn’t let go until he gets you out of the dangerous situation and into some place private. He undoes his transformation and looks you over to make sure you’re truly alright. You hold onto him and he cracks just a little, he had been trying to be strong but he was definitely rattled by almost losing you. “Please… stay with me. I can’t lose you.”
Zack: He waits by your hospital bed anxiously, holding your hand while you lay unconsciously next to him. You got hurt, he couldn’t protect you, he wasn’t strong enough. The doctor’s say you’re going to be okay but he can’t let it go that you could’ve gotten killed out there. He swears he’s going to keep you safe next time, he’ll get stronger for you. He won’t let your life be at risk again.
and yes its because of the image above, the Sakurai for both Yuuto and Keiwa are spelled with the exact same Kanji. The other two with them are the Kureshima brothers.
