Daisuke's right, that art is shitacular. Okay, some aren't too bad. Ryo, Kim, K...
And then you got Iori looking horrible, Yamazaki looks ABSOLUTELY SHITTY, as does Joe etc.
What is the damn dirty deal here? Did they take a look at the art for KOF2000 and said "that blows"... then they get this guy and say "yeah, good stuff! See you next year". FIRE that asshole, he's ruining KOF.

well.
the art isnt super.
its different.
it isnt shinkiro, which i would love.
but its collossal better than last year.
and i can take it.
the style is kinda neat and its new.
so i ll live.
no bitching and gripping this year.
if this was the art last year and the cut scenes werent
super dumb looking then i would have liked kof 2001
a bit more.
but cut that.
that game was dumb.
who was the brainiac who put in ratios.
trash.

True dat.
Take a look at Mai and Yuri. Specially Yuri looks awesome. She's grown up, finally.
That pico is really kewl.
There's still this "lip-less" ultra slim style which contradicts to all the old artwork, but at least the faces don't seem as deformed as in 2k1.
i am REALLY startin to like nona's work
shinkiro was alright
but his style was pretty boring after all
all the fighters had the same face,
were always in that same pose,
with that "realistic" approach to it
dont get me wrong,
all i'm saying is that nona's work is basically,fresh air
2001 had VERY peculiar art to it
2002 is the same stuff all over again,but better
( i admit yama is ridicolous but hey,i can only see 2 ugly ones compared to the 6 or 7 2001 had)
give him another year and shinkiro wont be missed at all

Agreed!
the cut scenes/demos of kof01 are simply bad!
just look on heidern, in kof00 he looked
very well drawn, and in 01..well play trough the game
as ikari team then you will see how cheap-drawed he
looks!
the bad demos ruined my fun greatly in this game!..
i like ioris elvis! he kinda looks like in
kof kyo.

Have you seen the pic of the kyokugen-school in the
art gallery of the dc version of Garou MotW ?
Yuri looks like a goddess on it!
i really love that pic!

Some of it looks okay, some of it doesn't look that good at all. Sure as hell beats whoever the artist was for Capcom that did the SNK character pics in SvC2 though (his rendition of the Rock Howard looks HORRIBLE). As for Shinkiro (I'm guessing this is the guy who's been the staple artist for the KOF games for years now), I like his stuff even though alot of his renderings look the same. I saw he's been doing cover art for some of Capcom's latest games like Ghouls N Ghosts GBA and Dino Stalker .
I need to catch up on my KOF, last one I've played was '99! <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

Iori is looking more and more like a Cowboy bebop/Trigun Character every year.
Doesn't help that Trigun has sombody that looks just like Iori

The Kof tourney is no place for Iori to be "Pitching a Tent"

I'd say so
I have to say, Nona's work is really growing on me too.........sure the style is abstract but I actually like it for that, it's different.......The screens so far have me hopeful, as long as backgrounds are more detailed than 2001 & character animation quality takes a step up.......we're good to go IMO, no strikers is a great step in the right direction....think about the extra MEG space that freed up!
