So these past 2 days weren't exactly fun for me, mostly on this thread.
Like, I'm kind of used to people making fun or hating the idea of my most wanted characters. But with the whole "rate the 7" game I just got a little frustrated.
Like, I have plenty of arguments to back DQ as a worthy inclusion to the Smash series. But one can't change how people feel about it, which is ok.
But then there's also the "he looks generic" - "he looks boring" - "plain-looking"
It drives me up the wall.
Maybe I give way too much credit to the art of Akira Toriyama, but that alone makes any DQ character stick like a giant green thumb from the rest of the cast. To me at least.
This is why I desperate wanted Erdrick or any DQ character last game. We would have gotten that sweet art piece from the original artist, and the contrast would have been that evident. (Especially if Link and Mario had been in the pic).
But again. Maybe I just give the art-style way too much credit. Maybe it's not enough.
But at least this warmed my heart.
Beautiful piece,
Nekoo
you captured both characters perfectly! I've been drawing for almost 2 decades now, and I don't think I could pull that off! Thank you for the wonderful pic. You should expand it to the restos the 7! Or more.
Aaaand this is what's currently keeping me sane.
Everytime I see apathy and hate towards DQ, I turn to this image, and the pain goes away.
I'm mainly buying JUMP Force for Dai. But then again, maybe also for Kenshin and Shishio who have barely stepped on 3D game territory. I only hope it comes to Switch!
