Art Trade #2: Kamen Rider D-Draig (helder666)

Template made by Taiko554
Trade with helder666. This picture in Exchange for a Henshin Gif of my Gaim OC, Maru.

((EDIT: At the time of making this, I was not aware that this was just Issei from Highschool DxD ( I have yet to watch that anime). The person who had requested the art trade, helder666, told me that this was his design. I am now aware of this, and I am editing the description to let people know that I am aware. I only made this image as part of an Art Trade, so please contact helder666 if you wish to correct him on this. Special thanks to Wheenesss for pointing this out to me.)) 

I'll be honest. When I first started working on this, I thought it was gonna turn out like CRAP! But the more I worked, the more I was able to salvage. However, I still made quite a few mistakes. The worst parts of all of these forms are the legs and the arms. The legs are probably nothing like they are intended to be like in the original pictures (links provided below). The arms are a different story. In the original pictures, the arms are completely covered in armor. I was unable to do that, so I made up for it by making the arms crimson. Other then that, I think this turned out relatively well.

Though there's still one question I have...does this even technically count as a Kamen Rider? I know that the creator of the character, helder666, is able to do whatever he wants with his OCs. But this does not feel like a Kamen Rider Design to me. This feels more like a completely different Tokusatsu all together, and I feel it's a waste calling this guy a Kamen Rider. The way the armor is designed, the way that the eyes look, and the way the transformation works (witch can be seen here   fav.me/d5ku20x ) seems very against what Kamen Rider is in a traditional sense. He doesn't even have a belt, witch is a common factor among all Kamen Riders (even those who don't transform using a belt), instead he has a big red Cod Piece. But I digress, it's helder666's character, he can call it whatever he feels it should be called. I just felt like putting in my two cents for what it's worth, I mean no disrespect.

Also...HOW THE HELL DOES HE MOVE IN THIS THING?! In both his pictures and my picture, this costume looks not only restrictive as hell, but heavy as cement. For the sake of my sanity, I'm just going to assume that this is one of the Rider Transformations that changes the Rider into a different organic creature instead of a suit (like Agito, Gills, Hibiki, and a few others). Again, no disrespect intended, just stating my thoughts.  

But yeah. Despite the trouble I had, I had some fun with this. It definitely helped me get some practice with Non-Human Shapes, that's for sure!.
