With his current style, it can actually work more than with his old one.
I needed some time to adjust when I read his X1 manga some long time ago.
I remember that when I showed this manga to a "friend" of mine, he replied something along the lines:
"THIS IS UGLY! I'M NOT GOING TO READ SOMETHING THAT UGLY!"
Yeah.
Really? What's his new style?
Yeah the first manga was quite a..shock. Your friend's attitude sums it up. I still read it though and I loved it. But man, it was weird haha
I dont understand...
After seeing the faces of eveyone from X1 to X4 with that old style, I don't think X8 would be a good idea. Those navigators look nice though
Iwamoto always says hes terrible at drawing Women. He's too modest. Merti was pretty hot. And he's got Layer's underboob down perfectly.
Also, I enjoyed his X1-4. The style was simply different from what Capcom usually does. Sigma was definitely one ugly mofo, but then again, Id expect no less from chrome dome. His style did certainly improve though. I remember X's head to eye ratios ever changing in the X1 manga. later down the road his X started lookin' real sharp. (mainly X2 onward)
I certainly loved the liberty he took with story and characters.
(and apparently
capcom did too, since they borrowed his Zero-Eagle acquaintance.)
Really? I thought he drew women fine. Layer looks like she needs help chesting those, they look like bombs about to explode.
X4 X was the manliest.
I liked how reinvented character stories, but some were really dumb. I mean, an eagle guy with a girflriend? Please. He ruined Flame Mammoth too.
