3rd Classes... Official 3-1 Sprites Released!

[Tris_Skyshadow]

Yeah, I saw that on the wiki and my first response was a blank stare.

Honestly, wtf is this cobbled together candy colored robot teeth monstrosity? BAAAAAARF. Suddenly I'm very glad my 99 Alch is a baby. I won't have to turn him into one of these awful things. Ick ick ICK.

But on a more positive note, click this link and scroll down a bit...

Apparently MJL did some ink prints of the 3rd class designs, and miraculously, they look... really good. n_n I guess this is proof that a good artist can sort of salvage even the most horrific character designs, especially when he's the father of RO. Sad how each one of these MJL bust sketches has more personality and life than any of Leona's full body CGs. Well, and more BIG GIANT HOOTERS, but that's not really relevant. And did they answer my prayers and redesign female RKs...? : D

I saw those, and it made my day! I think he just copied the giant booby route from the official art. Myung Jin Lee is more of a thighs and panty-shot guy, if you judge from his comics lol. There are boobs, but they are not HUGELIEKOMG. My friend thinks he did the design, but idk. He has a tassel fetish not a spike fetish, so it wasn't him imo.

Oh good lord.
DXXXX
The Genetic is has by far THE WORST CONCEPT ART EVAR.
I really don't want to make an alchemist now.
x-x
I know I don't think I'll ever get to 3rd job, it's still horribly disgusting to think about them.

For reals people.
REDO THE DAMN GENETIC SPRITES PLEASE PLEAS PLEASE.
DXXX

It hurts so much.

[Mochi Maknae]

Despite the bad sprites they gave generic....
Their skills are orgasmically nice o_o

[Blackmager]

Well hello.
Apparently they're redoing the Rune Knight Sprite.

I'd still like them to change the Genetic sprite though.
I've grown to kinda like it, but only when it's staying still.
When it's in it's stance, it's a hot mess.

I don't like what they did with a lot of the female designs. XD That genetic is funny, though!

I'm having a hard time trying to transcend as it is; I don't think I can go anymore! But having new classes is always exciting in the sense it makes you want to change job-- even if the new stuff looks kind of scary. XD

I'm inclined to agree with you. I haven't read any of MJL's comics, but even if you just compare the new designs with the older ones, they REALLY don't look like they were done by the same person, at all. Lolbewbies.

And I'm so happy to hear about the RK redesign. Female RK is the 3rd class sprite I'm most HAET & RAEG about. Genetics have grown on me a bit, and I do actually like the Hodremlin shoulders (well, maybe not the animation...) but I'm still very annoyed at the dumb teeth and gems everywhere on their armor. xD

I actually kinda LIKE the the Genetic, ever since I took a look at the art on the link you showed me.
So much more personality.

I hated how the original artwork for Genetic had a stick thin with absolutely no personality. It really looked like he was suffocating under all that stuff.

The only thing I don't like is the sprite itself.
I just wished it stuck with the "royal" and "professional professor" look the Biochemist had.

For some reason, as soon as I saw the gas mask, psychedelic colors and slightly confused/suffocating expression on the "official" Genetic, I thought about an old Beck song called "Fume," that's about two teenagers who suffocated themselves by hotboxing a car with nitrous oxide.

...There's a fume in this truck, and I don't know if we're dead or what
We spent many years always trying to get high,
It seems like there was nothin that we wouldn't try.
We made bongs out of bananas and we freebased turpentine...

Whether the song makes any difference or not, that concept art is pretty freakin' weird and looks like it was thought up in a drug-induced stupor. I'm glad the sprite is slightly less insane. I wonder if these supposed special foods that Genetics will ever include delicious banana bongs... It appears they already have banana bombs!

Yeah, I am happy the sprite itself isn't as crazy. The mask thing wouldn't work unless you gave the sprite some freaky eyes to match it. Otherwise, it's just as bad as the original concept art.

You know what's really bothered me?
I have never seen concept art for Soul Linkers.
