POLL: What Do You Think of Iceman's Art?

Malcrof

All this body shaming, the poor boy.. i'm telling Tumblr on you! You know what those people are capable of!

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw that art work for Iceman was a line from One Crazy Summer. "Little girl, I'm going to have nightmares just knowing that dog exists."

It's a pretty spot on realistic version of the fairly minimalist art that is in the All New X-Men run. STOPTHIS in another thread posted this, which shows young Bobby off decently well:


People keep saying to change his art so that he doesn't have black beady eyes, or to make him look like the older Iceman. I get that feedback, but neither would work since that's just not what young Bobby looks like in ice form.

None of those images creep me out. I see the intent, but I see the fail more so. You guys redrew Steve Rogers face, you can redraw Ice-boy's face.

Does he turn to ice when he hits puberty?

He looks like a creepy alien...

Okay then don't use The All New XMen Iceman. Give us the 90s version we all know and love. If this is what Marvel wants well its not making me want to go run out and buy the comic, its the exact opposite.

Making the young one a 4* does not help either.

Reminded me of these guys from Galaxy Quest:

I picked other. It matches the look presented in part by the ANXM comics, so I -get- it, but it could use, as others have said, a touch more sheen, but the other part of the problem is that I really wish they'd went with default uniced bobby, because the ANXM costumes look pretty sweet, and just use his snow form for certain powers, because he doesn't stay iced up constantly.

I never liked Iceman in his snow version and this is a really bad rendition of it. I hope we get heard on this.

Agreed-- I just recently started reading ANXM (on your and ShionSinX's recommendation in his character thread!) and I absolutely love those synergistic new costumes for the O5 X-Men. Jean's art is among my favorite in the game, and with knowing ANXM Cyclops is an inevitability at SOME point, I was hoping we'd have a complete matching set of those characters someday.

You can see the outline of shorts (barely) in his main pose, but it looks like he dropped them for the butt pose. Is he trying to give older Cyclops a run for his money?

Jam_Adams

way off base on the design.

should be:

Well considering Iceman is one of the openly gay characters .. he may be trying to attract Cyc!

I love Madureira's work and am a great fan of his Iceman.
I would love if we had one these versions:

To you D3 concept designers:

Your sense of weight is good. Your character posing is dynamic enough and shows you understand GCAT character construction methodology. Your digital painting skills aren't too bad either. You have a good understanding of color palettes and light, but...

Your character design needs work.

Please focus on your pre-pro char designs first and make sure they are solid before you go further, or tragedies like this happen.

Sincerely,

-A fellow designer

The art is the stuff of nightmares. I think I'd take literally any other art over it. Even once I get him, there's no way I want to look at this abomination on my turns.

Here's another good question: Why do they keep releasing teenage versions of superheroes?

Unless they mean for the game to only be played by teenagers with far too much time on their hands (and sic release variants they feel will most resonate with that player base), but that runs contrary to their apparent financial structure of pushing high value micro-transactions.

They are just following the current comic book versions. Some of the current marvel comics have gone the teenage version route.

I can certainly say that the next two releases are *not* teenagers. One hasn't seen that age in decades.

Anyone seen the movie Powder? Yeah that bad. Good god.
