CatManThree Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Lloyd from FE 7's artwork for heroes was just released and it to be honest looks a bit odd to me. What are your thoughts on the matter? Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Marth 64 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We're did you get the artwork from? It looks a lot different from Llyod that we know of. I did heard the data-miners only found voice clips and the Regal Blade, but that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm not entirely sure we need another thread for this considering it's already being discussed in both the new banner thread and the GHB thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
property of nuvelle Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I didn't have a problem with it before, but now I'm starting to notice things. His head is kind of big, his hands are freakishly big, and he looks very dead. Spoiler And yes, I do know what happens to him, but it's not like he was risen from the dead so we can summon him. It's most likely to just assume that this was before he reached his end. I never got far enough in FE7 to ever encounter him, but it seems like people dislike it because it doesn't fit him, which I can see clearly with his original art. I honestly think he looked better in the FE7 original artwork. I think the artstyle does look nice and it's fairly detailed, but maybe the chose the wrong artist for him. If I knew who the artist was and other artworks they've done, then I could probably do a more proper judgement with this. 1 hour ago, King Marth 64 said: We're did you get the artwork from?

If you check in the General Discussion, the recent update was already data mined with all the artworks and other info. It is him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I can't take my eyes off those long fingers. The face isn't great. I feel like giving him teeth would have added to his facial profile. And that red cloth draped over his waist seems like a useless detail. Same with the excessive presence of belts all over his coat, but I guess that's a japanese quirk.

Based on the shading and line style, it's almost certainly pikomaro, who did Wrys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bad at maths but I'm pretty sure only two belts around his arms have been added to his coat. Boots had to have been detailed, and belts on boots aren't Japanese-only thing either.

Wrys also has a fairly large, and weird hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eww, I don't like it there either. From his in-game portrait it was just handsomely rugged dude with blonde hair. I never imagined the full coat would have been drawn like that. I guess Lloyd's fine. I wouldn't say this artwork "betrays" his character, he's just slightly uglier. And the datamined voice lines from earlier seem good for him too.

Ice Dragon Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 He's missing his manly jaw and manly square chin and the manliness in his stubble. And he's got too many wrinkles. The less conspicuous stubble makes him look younger, but the wrinkles make him look older, and his attacking and damaged artwork just make him look old and weary. I don't think he looks like a zombie in them, but he would certainly fit in perfectly in Dead of Winter. His attacking and damaged artwork makes him look like he's somewhat lost the composure he's known for, which somewhat bothers me. His hair is also a bit shorter than in his original art, which makes him look just a tad bit more generic and a tad bit more old and weary, and the paleness of his hair isn't really helping either. I don't think it's bad, but it's just not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchi Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 What did they do to him. ;_; Maybe it's Morph! Lloyd... I agree with Ice Dragon though. That stubble and chin really made Lloyd, well, Lloyd. Is it me, or am I the only person who thinks Lloyd is a dead ringer for the actor Justin Hartley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otorio Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I don't think it's awful, though that attack artwork's expression has his mouth real wide open. Something about his artwork makes me think of Resident Evil or something like that. Maybe the shading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truthblade Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Aside from what was already mentioned (the face, the mouth, the hands, the pose, etc.) There is also the fact the the colors used for the image are very pale and unsaturated, which makes him look very lifeless (and I get elderly vibes from it too, probably cuz of Wrys). It makes wonder how much info the artists are given of the characters they are drawing, but the original image should really be enough though. I also saw someone on reddit trying to do their own edit to the image. As of now, they're my new favorite person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethany81707 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 If it wasn't for the voice clip "In the Black Fang, I'm known as the White Wolf", I'd think the developers confused Lloyd and Linus. Or the White Wolf with the Fates Bandit. Or with the Doc from Back to the Future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etrurian emperor Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think his beard should be a bit more prominent. You can hardly see it in this pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magical Glace Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 He looks like he's lost his mind. It's the eyes, wrinkles, and pale skin, I think, that bug me the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 He looks like a drug addict, honestly. His expressions are bizarre and he looks pale and sickly. He's also out to claim Mia's title of "most unnecessary belts in a Fire Emblem game", but he's got a long way to go: https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/3/34/FE10_Trueblade_(Mia).png/revision/latest?cb=20130830034642 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany81707 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 You know, thinking about the new chapter, my current guess is that he is supposed to be a Morph: the Permadeath mode will involve going into the Underworld to find Zacharias, and it wouldn't be out of place to find Morphs in such a setting. Why he and Camus got switched, on the other hand... maybe they didn't want to release Xander and Camus so close to one another because they both have Distant Counter?
