Synth Panther Driver concept

Synth Panther is an arcade time-extension styled Racing game I made during my 2nd year of University in 2015. This character, the proposed driver, was inspired by Captain Falcon from F-Zero, whom also shares a "theme" with his vehicle. Should the project ever move forward, this would be useful for out of vehicle sections of the game.

Edit: After some years passed I think this design has a fairly comical similarity to Black Panther from Marvel, especially his Black/Purple Wakandan Suit in the 2018 Solo Film. Great minds think alike!
