OK, can someone explain how the heck I'm supposed to believe that these two are the same character.

[Esaka]

Oh god, I can't even find a resemblance.

[Specta]

Looks fine to me.

[Junkhead]

'Da fack is 'dat.

[Mystical Mermaid]

Still looks like Celice to me, even with the outfit change. And he still looks just as much like he should be the love interest in a magical girl series rather than a Fire Emblem game. I'll admit I like his original design much more, though.

[Jagen]

Other than the face I think his new design actually look's pretty good.

but that's just me.

[luchinania]

They both have long blue hair and big blue eyes. How can you not see the resemblance? A complete stranger would at least think they were siblings or something.

[Celice]

You can use FE4/FE5's art and in-game portraits and make the same complaint

.-.

[AstraLunaSol]

That headband and hair.

Even though the hair isn't as poofy.

...no...

They are pretty similar.

[NeonZ]

Most of the "differences" in the face are just due to the different art style of the artists drawing those images. Really, look at Ike's transition between FE9 and 10. That was the same artist and he changed much more.

[Kramy]

They just cut off his head and glued it on to a different body. Though, it looks pretty good.

[Celice]

...no...

They are pretty similar.

Neither of those are OA of FE4. Good job on effort though!

[Esaka]

FE4, FE5 art, who cares.

But fine.

[SPSEliwoodGabriel]

Different artist, different years, different styles. He has blue hair and eyes, the headband and the ponytail, has a sword, and looks elegant in both pictures.

Yeah, they're both Celice|Serlis.

[Super Mecha Death Christ]

Hey guys, Intelligent System was totally lazy and reused the Holsety animation for some bum who looks nothing like Sety.

[Othin]

I see no problem beyond the apparently strangely rigid cloak.

[Onestep]

What, you don't like the fabulous peacock cloak?

[Othin]

The cloak is fine; it's just the rigidity that bugs me. If it wasn't so shiny so it could believably be actual clothing material instead of some weird plastic or something, I wouldn't mind.

For me, it's how stereotypically... japanese the outfit looks. I mean, it sort of makes sense, given that Celice was raised in the country of Swordmaster's, but it's still a tad over-the-top. He went from looking like a court duelist to a samurai warlord.

And yeah, his cloak looks like it's made of lacquered wood or something.

[Exaccuss]

I don't see what the problem is.. he looks pretty similar really, plus his new outfit is awesome. :)

But Celice is only wearing the same outfit that swordmasters ingame are(with minor exceptions) and they are supposed to look like samurais.

On topic though there is nothing wrong with the outfit, as I said that's how all swordmasters look in game, deal with it.

Given that this art was modeled directly after the class he will be placed as... just as Alm, and Ephraim, and Marth, and Leaf have been--I don't call it over-the-top without in the process calling the Sword Master concept over-the-top--because that is the basis for this Celice's art.

[sunshineYON]

Oh god, I can't even find a resemblance.

Ya, ya beta Roy. The comparison is funnier that way though. Seriously new Roy and old Roy have -1% resemblance.

The new Celice definitely have a Celice feel. The importance is that the essence of the character remains.

I honestly don't see any point in this thread.

So apparently the option to resize the images is meaningless.

[Cereal Bawks]

Blue, long hair, white headband, similar hairstyle (though not as poofy, as someone said. But I mean, a lot of anime characters' hair was poofy back then)...

I dunno, they look a lot alike to me.

[Super Mecha Death Christ]

Off topic. Goopy, where'd you get those awesome FE4 portraits?
