Title: Ecclesia Artwork
Post by: Ahasverus on November 03, 2008, 07:01:41 PM
Hey!.
We all know that the artwork of the ecclesia was the best in many years, some of people even says best than kojima's, Dracula was really perfect, bad, evil, but still attractive like Mathias.
So, what do you think aboot it?

BTW: I also want to ask you if you know abput a page that contains the artwork! i want to that have Dracula now!

I think it's awesome, it's like a mix of Shinkiro and Ayami Kojima, but I still prefer what Kojima has done over this.

I love it, actually. The character designs work really well.

I think I prefer Masaki over Kojima. His designs have so much more variety(just look at OoE's villagers). That doesn't mean I don't like Kojima's art, though. I love them both.

They have the link for his artwork page, at gonintendo. Just go there and write at the search box the word Castlevania.

I agree.  I like long haired characters but I am happy that OOE is one of the first games not to have any of their main male characters with long hair.  Just that it is refreshin to see variety in having characters with different hair styles

Honestly, I prefer Masaki since his characters are proportioned correctly and his characters do not all look like they are from the 18th century.

Portrait of Ruin main lead Jonathan Morris had short hair...that was the last game how can you say this is the first in awhile?

lol to an even more extreme degree Brauner had NO hair even, that's two right there without even thinking.

Hirooka Masaki (http://backfire.jp/)'s work is pretty good. I don't know if it can top Ayame Kojima's look of the franchise, but it's a nice mix of the old pre-Kojima and post-Kojima era.

I think this artwork was some of the series' best, and a real break from the cornball anime look of the last DS games and what bordered on repetition for Kojima in CoD.

I wasn't super crazy about the anime-flair either, but the animation I thought was good.

I do agree that the art is fabulous. One of the main selling point of the game :)

I wish there'll be arts for the other characters as well though, like the bosses, especially Blackmore; he would've been awesome in canvas :)

I'm surprised that there isn't any official artwork of shanoa's with the crest on her back in full view.
