Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Robbie's human form! I just thought it'd be better to post it and his Ghost Rider form seperately.
Now, this is pretty much how you'd expect Robbie Reyes to appear, but there are a few things I'd like to talk about here.
---
When he first debuted, Robbie gained these scars after receiving his powers (and after shaving his hair), but in later comics they just vanish. I thought they looked pretty cool, since they matched the engravings of his Ghost Rider form, so I decided to see how they looked with his original hair.
---
Another thing are his eyes: Originally he started off with these greenish-grey eyes, but after getting his powers, his left eye became bright orange. In recent comics however, both his eyes became brown/dark-orange.
Now, I honestly saw this as some kind of symbolism of Robbie gaining full control of his powers, after Eli Morrow's spirit left him.
Though Avengers Vol.8 mentions that it was actually Robbie's *own* Spirit of Vengeance, who was allegedly already inside of him from the very beginning, that had been acting up in the events of the comic, and Eli had already left Robbie...but at the end of Vol.8 Issue 25, it was mentioned that it was still "Eli's" curse...
Yea, this is kinda why I'm not a big superhero comic book fan, things just kinda...*happen*. And at most comic book runs, things have become so overly complicated, or so much has happened that I just get completely lost.
It's pretty much why I often look back at Robbie's debut comics, cuz of how simple and easy it was to grasp.
That being said, I can buy the whole "Robbie had a Spirit of Vengeance inside of him the whole time" thing, but I do think it'd make more sense that it was Eli himself that was making Robbie's Hell-Charger crazy in Vol.8, cuz...well, it's Eli Morrow. That guy's been a problem since the beginning.
But yea, that's pretty much my headcannon of why Robbie's eye colour changed so much.

You probably noticed this pose is actually styled after the cover art for Engines of Vengeance, even down to Robbie twirling his car keys and the racing helmet, which I styled 1 to 1 of how it appeared in the comic.
I like how it's styled after his Ghost Rider form's skull design, almost as if the helmet itself *became* his skull.
