Shield Liger - Blog Posts

I loved Zoids as a kid. The toys, the shows, the one english gba game. Then I found out that the english patch for fuzors and the ds game was finished so I played them. Then, I ended up rewatching Chaotic Century and New Century. Then I got inspired and just did some stuff for fun hahaha. They’re not part of any specific zoids universe, just the idea of here’s a lineup of people who pilot some zoids, playing zoids tropes, thoughts on talent, prodigies, and found family.

I imagined the indigo guy piloting a shield liger. The Blade Liger is my favourite zoid, but I wish there was a more defense oriented “evolution” of the shield liger to suit him, but I don’t know how to design mechs. So if there was a shield-ier shield liger, that would be his zoid, since he’s more of a tank. Maybe he can pilot an Elephander, but I just love the shield liger-blade liger zoids so much. Plus he’s one of the “main characters”, so he must have a liger! 😂

The little girl pilots a Zaber Fang, because she’s also a main character and the main character usually pilots a liger so I thought hmmm maybe let’s subvert that while also being a callback to Raven, a prodigy.

Also, tbh I don’t know why I made a health bar sketch because if there was to be a health bar of any kind, it would be for the zoid and not for the character. But the idea came to me and I had fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it 😊 Maybe I’ll post my Van and other zoids character sketches one of these days (if i get around to scanning them 🤷🏻‍♂️)
