This one's a no-brainer unless you have a serious obsession with pretty boys  :P

Quesion for those who prefer Simon's CVII look: if for example Kojima would draw an accurate depiction of him in that outfit, still with the blonde hair and still with a bit of a rugged face, but also done in her style, would you still like it or would you say that the design is ruined? Personally, if she or another artist like Masaki were to do that I would like the design a lot better.

If Kojima could pull it off and do an image of CVII Simon without making him androgynous, and his body was to scale (unlike CoD Trevor) then I'd like to see it done. But to get her to come out of her comfort zone might be a bit too much of a challenge for her. In the end I don't feel that she would be able to do it.

Hard to say. 

I'm not sure she could do that. 

Anyway, I'm all for oldschool Simon.

I think she already addressed those concerns with her Harmony of Despair art IMO.

Voted for anime style but I guess we are the minority.

You wanna know what Simon's real anime look is? An anime style that keeps him manly and badass without making him look like a transvestite?

You are 100% right, that Simon rocks!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...

I honestly can't decide. I find both of them to be good depictions of Simon.

I went with classic but that not to say I don't like the other. Both are great in their own right. I will say while I don't hate it I'm not much of a fan of the PoR/DoS art. I would call that more of the Anime feel than what is being shown and I don't feel it belongs in CV.

Anime, preferably not SO anime like DoS and PoR since they are good but loses the feel.
