i felt like trying to redesign kaishin (and NEXUS) again before i make progress on the actual comic

i've drawn him more than any other character i have planned for the story i want to tell because—well—he's the main character

chances are that you're going to be looking at him most of the time

i think i did better this time

his hair is inspired by this post i found on reddit because it gave me an idea on how i could give him spiky hair with two colors without making it look like i completely copied yugi's hair

i still don't understand how to draw mech combat characters so i took this sketch i found off of opera gx and used it as reference. i think it looks pretty okay but i'll definitely need to come up with something for the next arc i have planned since i plan to have the NEXUS powered suit look slim and less bulky (like this), and i don't do well with that because i don't know where to start with adding detail like that
