I'm OK with the first two, the characters however are certainly awful.

I still think that if remained at nintendo they could make better things, I tought that almost everyone worthy dropped when the buyout happened, that's why I said that.
I still want to believe that this is fan art, is one of the most generic artworks that I've seen.
The worst of this is that MS is pimping it, when they have much better things like PGR3

I think this work has been inspired by Brian Froud who was the concept artist on Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. He's a popular fantasy artist based in Devon here in the UK and his subject matter is usually faeries and goblins.
This is way off of his standard, but I imagine these are concept images so that the digital designers have ideas of shapes, proportions and colours etc. There are probably hundreds of images like this floating around at Rare, some good, some bad. At least they're hand-drawn - I thought that was something exclusive to Japan these days.

Even if you hate the art in AW this art is leagues worse, I can tell you that just looking at the faces. Landscape art isn't bad though. But the characters, even I could do better in 5 minutes. I refuse to believe that the actual pencil work took more than 2 mins, no way. The proportions are too off for that.

I believe that RARE's true problem is not in the art team as a whole but in the leading members. RARE has some good people working there but for some reason you only get to see the hideous stuff.
Allard needs to stomp RARE in Darth Vader style and replace the useless employees ASAP.

Somebody tell me who in his own mind could hire this guy as an artist. I am a RARE fan and I've been it for years but this is utterly disgusting.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
I know people will say I am biased but if you really don't see the utter ugliness of this art then you are a blind person. I refuse to believe that this ISN'T a fan-art.
This:
looks on the same level as some random shitty FF7 fan-art found on the net:
Hire a goddamn Bachelor of Arts to draw your characters, RARE. C++ coders or XNA "mages" aren't cut for the job.

You're all pretty harsh on the level of exaggeration here...
seriously... 2 minutes? 5 minutes?
Even though the quality is shit, there's still a good deal of work in it, even if the effort might not be there.
While the guy's art isn't terrible by any means, it's pretty plainly obvious he's just not drawing stuff that he enjoys drawing...
and that is the worst looking elf I've ever seen, but I'd still wager most of you critics can't draw that well.
And Bory, calling (that) fan art shitty is uncalled for; they're not professional pieces for the most part.

Like I said it looks fine to me, I'm not a pro when it comes to analyzing the human figure. I'm not sure what you mean by the proportions on her face, you talking about the the right eye being the same size as the at that angle? Forehead too small? head too big? Need to be more specific. Also you said that the penciling for the character art took no more than 2 - 5 mins. I would honestly like to see you draw that same picture and fix the mistakes that you feel isn't correct. Trace it if you have to. It's only 2 mins of your time right?
I like the first three, even though the facial proportions are off quite a bit on the third, the last one has some serious balance issues though, proportions are out of whack (I'm assuming anyways, considering we're talking about a fantastical charecter) seems like one of his arms is shorter than the other, and the overall pose doesn't look very dynamic or well balanced. Still, if this is just concept work, I've seen plenty of experienced pros crank out something like this every now and then, either because they lack interest in their subject, it's only intended to be a very rough sketch, the peice still needs further refining, or merely because the artist might have gotten off on the wrong foot. I know I've put hours into stuff that comes out pretty badly, and I've got tons of stuff lying around that looks like that. On the other hand, it'll never make it into my portfolio because it's, well...........bad

I can't draw shit thats why I don't draw anything the same goes to music. I can't stand all kind of fan-arts it's just SO much worse than the real thing that it pains my eyes and mind even looking at it.
Harsh but that's the way I am. You have probably seen countless amounts of Sephiroth, Cloud, Terra etc. art. I've seen them also and let me just say that the worst art I saw was Fallout's art.
The real deal >>> Console/ anime fan-art >>> PC games fan-art

Actually, I find the quality of the coloring and color balance in the FF7 fan art to look more appealing that the color in the two Kameo character arts. Also, the Kameo arts ARE merely design sketches in color. Design crap can often look extremely loose, rushed, or unfinished because not a lot of time is spent on it - it's just for blocking in ideas. Doing design art for something like a movie or video game might require HUNDREDS of drawings of significant characters in order to refine them. The artists involved are NOT going to be able to put their finest effort into those 200 test drawings of one character, let me tell you. In point of fact, I've seen some crude production/design art from some of SNK's major artists which looks "bad". Characters with proportions far out of whack, sketchy, confused lines that sometimes get the wrong lines over or under each other.
Of course, some sketchy design art looks fantastic, but that's only because the artist involved is -superior- and far above most anyone else. The guys whose' finished work is unbelievable.

... having said that, I WILL say that a lot of the character art that comes out of Rare from whatever artist seems to have "fake anime" styling, especially characters' eyes. And usually, I don't like it; looks fugly to me.
(All together now. Anime style is not evil. Most people who try it simply don't study what really makes Asian style art, Asian style. It's not just about making the eyes huge.)

The landscape art is relatively nice, but the character art is beyond horrible. :lol at the Advance Wars comparison though by the damage controllers. I care not at all for AW, but the worst looking character in those series of pics is still way above and beyond cross-eyed elf boy here.
