The CONFIRMED New Season

Hmmmm... let me give this a few more minutes to look over.

Well, it's really pointy. Like, FF pointy. But there's something about the face that looks different from FF in a way I like. Without pupils it looks pretty kickawesome. And I do think it's an improvement over Fast Foward, even with all the sharp angles. I think the body proportions are slightly different in a way I like better. That could be movie-style influence; I notice the wrists are thicker. I like that a lot, though the ankles should probably be thicker too, to match.

Probably the weakest part for me are the legs, actually. You get those sharp angles of the muscles and cut to those thinner ankles and it almost looks like the legs are deformed. That's something that will improve when they're in motion, but still.

2k3 is still my favorite 'toon style, but if they get some decent lighting and color scripting going on, this should do OK for itself. And, you know, some good stories.

Haha, Spawn Guy beat me to it, I'd love if they either kept the pupils and went to glowy-eye in the darkness or ninja-mode (think Gargoyles on that one?) or just ditched the pupils entirely. On the other hand, having pupils does make for better acting opportunities in animation.

Still awaiting the quality of animation. My reaction for now is favorable, but reserved.
