Grima Robin's art?

Anyone find it to be pretty silly-looking, they tried to make him look really corrupted but the thing I think about when I see his art is how large his hands are and how surprisingly thin his body looks, not to mention his face just doesn't feel right.

I'm probably too use to looking at Fujiwara Ryo doing Robin's other variant's art.

It's probably because of how different it is. Compared to other art in FEH, you either get the "too anime" like Mist, Rebecca, Lachesis, etc... or you get the "is this outdated..?" like Eliwood, Gunter, etc.

The "comic" ones are like Arthur, Grima!Robin, Raven, etc.

edit: whoops i rambled on...

tl;dr:
Robin's art is very different from his other depictions because he is not really Robin while Celica's depictions isn't very different because she is still Celica. This is a thing IS does to differentiate alternate versions of characters and their different personalities somewhat (i.e. Tharja v. Winter Tharja and Lucina v. Spring Lucina)

yeah i get what you're saying...

it seems like they're trying to go for an edgy appearance and Robin's might just be too much that it doesn't look as appealing and just looks kinda lanky. His attack/special art tho, is so much better than his base art. more dynamic and the expression on his special art is just stunning.

Okuma Yugo's strengths is probably not in neutral poses which is why it looks kinda odd, like its trying to move but its kinda stiff. But it still feels like they did go all out and did too much for robin. probably the same reason a lot of ppl don't like Ogma, Jagen, and Arthur's art. It seems out of place. Aside from Arthur, Ogma and Jagen's art has way too much detail and they stick out too much in a game full of very cartoonish characters. From Yamada Akihiro's work, people dont have much of a problem with Zephiel or Gunter's art because the details are kinda watered and toned down. Still recognizable as theirs, but does not stand out as much.

So like compare RobinM, W.Robin, and E.Robin. RobinM and Winter Robin have a simplistic cartoonish artstyle going on, then you throw in another one of him and suddenly he has a whole different personality. We have three versions of Azura, all drawn by kaya8 and we can understand shes Azura and she doesn't act any different from the Azura we know. Then we have Tharja, drawn by ZIS, who's voicelines reflect her character and art which is followed by Winter Tharja who is drawn by Washimoto instead. Washimoto depicts her as "Cutesy" compared to her original version and her voicelines reflect this somewhat, he actions still being the same kinda but ultimately different in tone. Tharja is pretending to be Normal and the difference in personality is reflected in her art. This reflects Celica being drawn by Fujikawa Akira again. She's still fighting the possession in her voice line so we can assume that is still Celica in there.

I really like that art style, it’s very different. At least he doesn’t suffer from ‘same face’.

I actually like Fujiwara Ryo's art. Sure, they have the same face, but it's not really that bad of a face. I could see if the face was ugly *cough Lloyd cough*, but it's just... a face.

I can see why people are tired of looking at the same exact face for multiple characters, but I really don't mind it.

I think Ryo's Robin art is fine. However, for me it's not just that he uses the same face over and over again, the characters just have so little details to them.... Look at Seth and Joshua.... it feels like their clothes should look different but they don't ._.
Dunno, just my opinion on his art

If Fujiwara Ryo drew everyone

I don’t dislike Ryo’s art style, I just like other artists more and this Robin art is quite cool. I’m not sure Grima Robin drawn by Ryo would be menacing enough.

Somehow that Eliwood still looks better than his current art.

Agreed tenfold, I've not used Eliwood since vanilla. And I believe it's because subconsciously I'm scared of his dinner plate eyes

I actually feel like Grima Robin looks kinda wrong. Not like possessed wrong but somehow...not human. Probably not too bad for this case but I don't really like it. At least not the normal artwork. If I get my hands on him I'll fodder him off instantly.

You will fodder him just because you don't like the art style? But don't you think he seems like an amazing unit? He has DC in his weapon!

Vengeful fighter and Ward dragons is what he offers, which are pretty amazing. So foddering him off is better than merging but keeping at least one copy for yourself would be good too y'know.

1.Distant Counter is overrated.
2.So does Lightning Breath, and it's inheritable.

Pretty sure Fury 3 is more overrated of an A slot than Distant Counter but I'm not saying it isn't either lol.

I dunno, I really love it. It's pretty wacky, and it's overly-detailed chaotic appearance reinforces that Grima Robin isn't quite as human, and how he's somewhat a monster. The special art though.... I drool. Imma bout to run Moonbow on that boy just so I can see it ever other turn.

I agree, there's definitely something off about his art. It doesn't really fit at all. I would have loved to see a more realistic version of it, instead of one that looks like it was taken from some unofficial comic.

It looks too much like fanart imo, really unprofessional.
