You'll have to excuse me, I've been battered with Street Fighter news lately and can't think of anything else
This artwork is very flattering to Hisuian Decidueye, who most of the time just looks like this:
And here's the thing, I get it. Samurai wear straw short-capes over their shoulders, and straw hats low over their eyes. That's cool! But then they also wear long flowing robes, or mighty armor, not just two long-ass legs sitting out and about. The scary thing is that owls are build like this in real life, they just have feathers such that we only think of them as having cute stubby little legs. So watch out for that.
anyway, while I could be down for a Grass/Fighting road runner, the result looks more like an upside-down teacup with legs running around. The proportions on the artwork are better than in-game, so the design isn't totally lost. Keeping its arms more "out", or longer feathers to create a full cloak, would have worked better.
Overall: 4/10
Straw Hat Samurai vs. straw hat samurai. Is this the peak of this blog?
ReplyDeleteLol I don't think I've seen the official artwork of It yet ( or at least my memory didn't recall ). The comparison to the model genuinely made me chuckle. I think the autumn theme Is nice, but uh yeah the "hat" unfortunately doesn't look that great In 3D from what I'm seeing. It's odd how this form has the shorter wings.
I think it's cool to have a Grass-type with autumn colors and virtually no green, feels like something that hasn't happened much.
ReplyDeleteNgl I love this design. Its not as good as the original decidueye, but I honestly think its close. The design might be a little silly, but I honestly think its cool at the same time, and the fact that we got a red and autumn grass starter is just so awesome. At least it sure as hell is better than the other Hisuian starters.
ReplyDeleteGuess there can only be one straw hat samurai. Rip our OG Straw Hat ;_;
