Design Works

Also, Haseo wasn't a *total* recluse. You seem to forget that he works at a grocery store offline...

Hmm can we return to topic. (>Grimcrim) Yeah the beast design's were the only thing from the demo. (Bird, Dog, Squirel). I do think its creative. Gotta say it was my first time seeing a squirel girl. The canine designs should be up next.

I do forget. Did he say that in an email or something? According to .hack//Roots Sound Form he goes to the theater to see random movies alone, at any rate...

The canine designs should be up next.

I doubt it. This is the Staff Voice section we're talking about, not Design Works. The staff member posting can choose whatever kind of picture they want. It's the same as Staff Voice was in G.U...

I see. Here's hoping it comes along at some point. EDIT: The next update is ready. It's Haseo. There's also another update from Staff Works: http://www.cc2.co.jp/hack_link/staff/img/04/img.jpg

Well...I work in a grocery store...And in person I'm as anti-social as it gets...
So, yeah...In a matter of opinion you don't think he was.
Factually however...he was.

ummm, whats with the hair? and the face?

Also, his arms are just bones and skin.

He looks like a 12-year-old now...
Why must they do that?

[Kuukai]

This isn't the final character design, it's just concept art. It *is* by the guy who invented Haseo in the first place, though, so he has the right to draw him however he damn well pleases. This is like grumbling about Yoshitaka Amano's Cloud Strife:

Sure, it looks weird as hell, but without that guy the character wouldn't even exist...

[iuliathe3rd]

Plus, it's art. Art is allowed to not follow the "rules" and be weird like that.

[GyppyGirl2021]

Eh, I figure it just looks like Haseo normally does in LINK.

Also, just because the guy invented the character doesn't mean you have to like his art. I, for one, much prefer the final concepts of pretty much all the characters in .hack// (except for a few whose previous concepts I've seen in G.U.).

Yup, that's the other thing about art. XP It's very subjective.

Hmm, I wonder if the next Design Works will feature Tsukasa. We've gotten Tokio, Saika, Kite and Haseo so far, after all.

[Kuukai]

Nah, actual Link Haseo looks a lot more Megane Kikuya-y. And I'm not saying everyone has to like it, just that it's impossible for him to "ruin" his own character...

[GyppyGirl2021]

That's true as well, just as true as it is for other artists to improve upon it... but it was still kind of stupid to say that the original artist "ruined" the character.

[|<!73]

Another update is ready. It's Tsukasa.

[GyppyGirl2021]

Oh look, a shota! *glomps*

...wait, it's a trap. XD

[iuliathe3rd]

Hah! Totally called it (even if it was amazingly obvious).

I like Tsukasa's new shoes. They're neat.

[Advent_Winter]

Eh. I wish they would of went with the Third Form design of Haseo for this installment. It made him look very cool and intimidating. I always abhored his First Form, since he looks like a male stripper. :/ Regaurdless, great concept art nonetheless.

[GyppyGirl2021]

It's not like his third form is any better, what with the insanely low-hung pants. Besides, he's blatantly exposing about 90% of his abdomen... you call that not manwhorish?

And also, us girls need SOME kind of fanservice. We need less women like Pi and more men like Haseo.

You already got Endrance.

[GyppyGirl2021]

Endrance? A pansexual prettyboy isn't exactly the type of fanservice I had in mind. Haseo may be a brooding teen, but he's a ****ing sexy brooding teen.
