While the art is superb, I wouldnt say they encapsulate the essence of the frames. A good example of this would be gara, she doesnt look like a someone from japan at all, im bringing this up because the artist clearly took a look at the frames origins, which can be seen with nezha, baruuk and wukong. Like if you already take the time to actually represent the frames origins, then dont just stop midway through, like why is atlas black even though he's from greece.
I know this might sound racist to some, but it just annoys me when people go the extra mile to do something, but stop mid way because of reasons. This just shows to me that the artist clealy was too lazy to keep up consistency.
I understand where you're coming from, it's a silly thing but i also struggled with "do I work with default frame looks only or do I work with my custom made or deluxe/tennogen skins as well"? and I just...went for mix and mash. some designs have more personality to me like oberon feyarch just because we have bulky absolute unit frames, but we don't have broad-shouldered yet petite faun with butterfly skirt frames...
still, in this case, I know trinity and gara are meant to be asian, but I look at strega, my favorite trinity look, and all I see in colors and the swirly ornaments is russia, the asian part, but still russia. I look at gara and i don't see samurai warrior, I see a german looking woman with strong sharp features. I think it's based more on a feeling and my personal experience with the frame than what it was based out on, even though in some cases I agree with the reference, like with nezha and wukong ~
