OK, I don’t want to seem like I’m bashing SCV, it’s actually the first 3D game I’m really interested in in years. But I was going over some screen shots, and am blown away by the character art. However, in seeing the brilliant artwork, it’s kind of underwhelming to see how they ended up in the final 3D renders. For example, here’s some comparisons between the charcter art vs render:
Xiba:

vs.

Raphael:

vs.

Hilde:

vs.

Tira:

vs.

Ivy:

vs.

As you can see, the style and charm lost in the transition can be pretty jarring. I’d kill to have a 2D SC game with this artwork.
