Description I approached the fantastic Mike Nick [link] asking if I can colour his line art called Kamen Riders Forever. Well, as you can see it is done! took me a long time as I have gone through 3 PC's in the last 3 months but I finally sat down for about a dozen hours and worked on this beast. Here she is. I mixed it up about on Tackle and Stronger, but I kept everything pretty close to the original colour schemes, even adding the colours of their scarves to their necks. The background colour wasn't my first choice but it was hard to use the wand and cut out the original backing of the lines. Either way I am very proud of this as it was, kinda, 12 colouring gigs in one. I apologise to Mike for his signature not being on the finished product, this was due to an error when I was trying to clean up the background.

Please check out the original lines here [link] and look over his gallery, he is a fantastically detailed line artist and has been a pleasure to colour this image. It has been made wallpaper size for peoples pleasure

Personally, with each passing work I feel more accomplished and this may very well take the place of Optimus Prime as my favourite gig.

Top row left to right is Rider 2, V3, Rider 1, Super 1 and Black.

Middle Row l-r is Amazon, ZX and electromagnetic Human Wave Takcle (from Kamen Rider Stronger)

Bottom Row is Skyrider (from New Kamen Rider), X, Riderman (from Kamen Rider V3) and Stronger.

Stronger looks more like Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Oddly enough Kabuto was more or less a homage to Stronger, in both attitude and appearance. i wouldn't be surprised if Mike based his update of Stronger on Tendou.

really well done!!!
I don't know the subjects, but it looks great to me!!
My favourite is the black one in the bottom row (Riderman?), great highlights!

As I said you, the only thing I feel like to suggest is to clear the white near the edges, but I know you are already working on it!!

I'm looking forward to see the new background!

Ah, my number one fan! Thanks for the approval Niji *hugs*

As you said there is a new one in the pipeline. I have been revising some of the colours and of course that accursed background. Keep them eyes peeled

Yeah the background is something I plan on reworking soon. Tackle wasn't my favourite to colour, trust me orange isn't the easiest to highlight. But, now I have one version up I may go back and redo the background at least. The detail tends to come out more when it's twice the size so a resize may be on the cards too.

Either way I'm glad you think it's cool. Thanks for the fave!

Ah, the only photo I got was of her in an orange dress. See, I was wondering why she had an orange suit and a red helmet. Oh well. Hope her new duds are ok.
