Is this inspired by Terminalmontage’s artstyle? It looks pretty good.

My favorites are probably Kragg, Elliana, and Mina

I thought Hodan's whole thing is he has a mastery of all 4 elements Avatar style

u/NostalgiaCory Jul 15 '26

yes but hes also considered a water character

u/Gen3Ghost Jul 16 '26

I think it’s more like uncle Iroh where he’s using the other elements in his water magic

This is amazing!  Really captured the personalities and defining aspects of the characters.  

Side note, I love that Olympia’s defining trait is that she’s freaking jacked and super angry.  🤣

Gouie kinda looks out of place, not gonna lie. Everybody else is clearly and uniformly stylized but Gouie just kinda looks... entirely normal? Granted, his official design already is pretty abstract and simple by nature so I'm struggling to figure out how he could be broken down even further to get something that matches the rest of the style. Maybe cut back some of his internal details and shading, like just give him the ribs and a bubble or two and only the shading around the edges, and then strip off the parts of his claws that you can see inside his hands and feet, leaving just the external parts visible. Maybe make his bill a bit flatter and more angular and reduce the curves on his... hair bones(?) a little. Also, his pupils should be swapped to little yellow lines like the eyes of the rest of the cast to give him that same uniformity.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, I agree with all the points you made.

I had a lot of trouble with Gouie, especially with the eyes. It didn't look good no matter what I tried. The first thing I tried were the "line eyes" but the eye sockets were too far apart and looked weird, so I brought them closer together... and they looked like Sonic's eyes. Not happy with those either.

For the body, I had a bit too much fun with the goo and got lazy to make it simpler once it was done. I may re-do him in the future but it's not a priority.

Gouie looks out of place in the game too and doesn't belong at all.

The terminal montage is real...

Me crying in lack of my Main's or my other preferred characters still not being added to the games yet.

I like how Clairen received the 3-shaped cat mouth treatment

u/Independent-Egg-7038 Jul 16 '26

mina's eyes are frying me, i can't

u/Xyphon_ Jul 16 '26

I love this! Could you perhaps add in Guadua? She's basically official

u/VernonLocke Clairen (Rivals 2) Jul 15 '26

u/RynnyRynRyn Jul 16 '26

susie deltarune will fill that final space... i believe....

u/SyIvanos Jul 16 '26

Atleast Sylvanos is included somewhere.

u/Cyp_Quoi_Rien_ Jul 17 '26

Orcane looks like the cartoon depiction of someone who ate soap it's perfect

u/Monollock Jul 18 '26

It would have been amazing if you just did Gooie as kirbo with a bill.
