[waxen crane]

they just don't care about the historical side

[copper mist]

Slander

[rocky dagger]

I hate how they look, I hate how they are edgy trash boring ass edgy mommy stereotypes

[mental swift]

PREACH

[polar tiger]

hello

[peak knoll]

she looked like a ship created in 2015

[rocky dagger]

I hate how they're fake and bullshit

[karmic delta]

Hey yang

[peak knoll]

its 2025

[modern dew]

@sacred oak when are we getting married btw

[rocky dagger]

To me, KMS is dogshit

[neon coral]

yeah but I want Iowa to appear after the Tomato

[mental swift]

Fritz is paper right

[rocky dagger]

The other one that I have issues with tbh

[sacred oak]

When you kiss the bride

[karmic delta]

[glossy arch]

They just want to complain. It's easier then actually thinking

[plucky magnet]

yeah i know her boobs are apparently a discussion but there's no other way with Saru not working for Manjuu anymore

[rocky dagger]

Is Amagi (CV)

[tight goblet]

uh ya u do u

[full meteor]

The design looks boring, it doesn’t look like a UR to me, more like an elite ship

[rocky dagger]

Originally, I alwasy thought Amagi CV is Unryuu-class

[peak knoll]

yeah i agree with bane

[rocky dagger]

which would be the logical conclusion

[sacred oak]

Her hair color isn't even the same

[neat matrix]

Who drew Lexington 2

[rocky dagger]

Since Unryuu-class does have an Amagi CV

[plucky magnet]

it's pink AND IT'S ENOUGH

[peak knoll]

they had to keep close to lexington 1's design and it hurt her UR design

[modern dew]

https://tenor.com/view/gemini31292-black-guy-man-fall-gif-12223831761413776573

[rocky dagger]

But Amagi (CV) isn't even an Unryuu class

[tight goblet]

just because u dont like it doesnt mean its bad

[rocky dagger]

Amagi (CV) is the mythical Amagi-class CV

[neat matrix]

Honestly they look very different lol

[copper mist]

Dw
Amagi II will be Unryu

[rocky dagger]

Basically

[tight goblet]

there are a lot of cute girls in IB

[pastel oracle]

You mean Lexington doesn’t look exactly the same as she did 8 years ago?

[peak knoll]

i mean that art is shit

[rocky dagger]

What if Amagi had the retrofit into CV

[peak knoll]

the 1st one

[mental swift]

[rocky dagger]

because it is not

[glossy arch]

That's an almost decade long art difference right there

[sacred oak]

They made is salmon colored

[copper mist]

OP for that post says they love it

So

[sacred oak]

Die

[peak knoll]

it was the inhouse artist that was pumping out art to fill the game back in 2015

[rocky dagger]

The eyes are different colored too

[plucky magnet]

I AM THE OP

[rocky dagger]

Lexington's eyes are purple

not pink

[glossy arch]

It is kind of jarring

[copper mist]

Oh you are?!

Baller

[rocky dagger]

IDK why Lex2 eyes are pink

[neat matrix]

Is it the same artist?

[peak knoll]

he made like 20 ships and they all have the same face

[trim gyro]

I like eat salmon

[rocky dagger]

Please change it to purple

[nimble sable]

Cute girl transformed into Eagle Union version of Yanagi

[rocky dagger]

no

Different artist

[crystal summit]

Wait no! I want Princess Eugen to sit on my face, Belfast to use me as a foot stool and Enty to use me as a mattress.

[rocky dagger]

Lexington's artist is Saru

[mental swift]

Wsg djmommy

[plucky magnet]

I made a new reddit account, my other one got banned

[rocky dagger]

Saru did Saratoga, Shigure, Yukikaze, Yuudachi etc

[sacred oak]

Old lex is prettier

[atomic dew]

All of Saru’s early work in this game is borderline copy paste

[rocky dagger]

New Lexington IDK who

[nimble sable]

[rocky dagger]

but old Lexington is Sarubote

[atomic dew]

But their style improved a lot in recent years

[peak knoll]

he literally pumped out shit to fill the games art for the release

[rocky dagger]

Saru had to pump a lot of art out back then

you guys don't remember this

[peak knoll]

its just copy paste slop

almost on ai level

[plucky magnet]

yeah but honestly mate you're a minority unfortunately

[rocky dagger]

but Saru was a huge artist

[mental swift]

[rocky dagger]

very popular

[modern dew]

he did the first part?

[rocky dagger]

his art isn't even only just for AL

[sacred oak]

And yet somehow ships back then had more style and personality

[plucky magnet]

i think she looks great and a lot agree

[rocky dagger]

his art is in GFL too

[copper mist]

No
Saru hasnt been drawing AL for a hot minute

[rocky dagger]

but I think saru fell off

[peak knoll]

his new meta art is a lot better you can tell the difference

[rocky dagger]

His art style just doesn't stay for the new stuff

[mental swift]

Kyle your wifey has competition

[rocky dagger]

But his art is still really good

I like Saru's art

[mental swift]

Proceed with caution

[neat matrix]

Who’s the artist for this they cooked

[rocky dagger]

it's very recognizable

No

they didn't cook

[atomic dew]

Vestal and Erebus meta were great

[rocky dagger]

it doesn't even look like Lexington

[full cypress]

This is wht Shiratsuyu retro looks so bad, i doubt Saru made that

[mental swift]

Eminem meta?

[rocky dagger]

I didn't need it to be like Saru's lexington

[azure wagon]

wait theres no stream yet right, did i miss it

[peak knoll]

they all look almost the same

[rocky dagger]

but it has to at least have some level of resemblence

[peak knoll]

just different hair style

[atomic dew]

Yuudachi is still one of their best

[worthy dawn]

yeah it's pretty hilarious

[modern dew]

whats his name again

[sacred oak]

Your opinion is ass and you should feel bad. Lots of great ships that have been here for a long time. You joined this server this year and you wanna talk about how the game was in the pre-covid era? Fuck all the way off.

[peak knoll]

no im right and you are wrong

[atomic dew]

Sorry to tell you but Nyano is ancient

[modern dew]

[rocky dagger]

IDK if saru drew Yuudachi UR

[peak knoll]

cos that was en version

[pastel oracle]

How did you play the game in 2015

[rocky dagger]

but the new art is still good

[modern dew]

holy grandma

[rocky dagger]

IDK why people be like "Haha it's just like AI"

[worthy dawn]

insane gamer power

[peak knoll]

i corrected it infernal type faster smh

[atomic dew]

I say yes, or that person did a good job of emulating their style

[pastel oracle]

[neat matrix]

Is Lexington 2s artist the same as implacables

[rocky dagger]

That's like claiming that you can slap a lora into AI and generate any art style

If that's your intent, then no artist is safe

[copper mist]

They did

[rocky dagger]

Also, just because something looks the same doesn't means it's "Like AI"

[modern dew]

i will generate an AI picture of mogador will clothes on

[rocky dagger]

if anything, consistency is better than inconsistent artwork

[tight goblet]

[copper mist]

Sarus art has definitely gotten better since like
2017 when most of their characters were made

[neat matrix]

Do it

[modern yoke]

[rocky dagger]

People who shit on Saru doesn't realize how popular the man is in the past

He's one of the legends

[runic abyss]

^

[modern dew]

if i do everyone will explode

[tight goblet]

who is shitting on him

[rocky dagger]

A lot of the art style and techniques we see today is specifically developed and forerunnered by Saru

[runic abyss]

their art is great in a certain aspect

[sacred oak]

I like Saru's old art too

[copper mist]

I love Sarus old art

[tight goblet]

I ate food just now

[copper mist]

Sure it can be samey but I like it

[tight goblet]

[rocky dagger]

It's like people who thinks Shiyogirls are all the same and AI generated

[peak knoll]

look im here

[rocky dagger]

But Shiyo has perfected his art

[tight goblet]

.L opinion

[modern dew]

damn i realized that i know the names of 0 AL artists

[runic abyss]

"hello me full im dad"

[rocky dagger]

Shiyo is also very popular

literally back then, during 2018

Shiyo was one of the peak artists

Every game had a shiyo girl

[tight goblet]

This is where we get the "Haha is it atago, is it QBZ?" meme

[modern dew]

i mean the games i played usually had birds..

angry birds..

[tight goblet]

mm

[rocky dagger]

Shiyo literally perfected his art style to the point where every girl just looks the same

[copper mist]

How angry were these birds?

[modern dew]

they were seething

[runic abyss]

which can feel bland at times

[rocky dagger]

it is what it is

it doesn't help that he is VERY popular

his art is literally everywhere

every major gacha game had a shiyo girl in it

[peak knoll]

yeah he was a popular gacha artist

[runic abyss]

anyway

[peak knoll]

he was like a modern day da vinci of gachas

everyone knew him so they had to say they "had his art" in their game

[copper mist]

I wonder who drew Lexi II
But I think they did ok
Colors are different sure but I can still see the same Lexi
Eyes to me look purple, though getting close to pink

I wonder how her skin will look if she gets one

[rocky dagger]

The best, universally voted AL artist, however

Is still Zelda

I used to like kashino a lot but then I figured she's sweat a lot and smell like sour milk so

My Kashino is oathed, 125, max affinity 200

[umbral hill]

well they finally remembered her after 8 years

so thats nice

[peak knoll]

maury does look pretty cute

[rocky dagger]

her art is good

[umbral hill]

also that's SR not UR

[oblique sinew]

Damn nyano here again

[manic harness]

maury got em shoes

[peak knoll]

sadly

i got called a new player earlier

[sacred oak]

Those are her go fasters

[manic harness]

smol nyano

[lament palm]

When I first saw Porter posted on Twitter, I thought the art was too good to be SR, so I though she was the Elite lol

[copper mist]

Lol

[hot pewter]

i see no one talking about pasadena

[shut crane]

it's a cool retro

[oblique sinew]

Lex 2 huh

[peak knoll]

its cos the cn livestream was bad and we have barely 1 picture of her but she got burried instantly

[copper mist]

Wait for the EN announcement drop

[peak knoll]

and en still hasnt revealed her

[oblique sinew]

I like lex but idk if i like this art for lex2

[hot pewter]

fair

[shut crane]

I think she looks nice

got big boobs

[lament palm]

It'd be easier to be excited about more stuff if we had the usual pinned images of all the skins and ships

[copper mist]

[rocky dagger]

I don't like the lexington 2 art

[lament palm]

Cause out of all the ships announced on Twitter, I only liked Porter

[shut crane]

well, we didn't even get a strim channel this time

[copper mist]

Had it pointed out to me that artist for Lexi II is probably Kincora

[oblique sinew]

Cleveland meta is really nice

[hot pewter]

lex2 is more of an obligatory UR cuz of storyline

[oblique sinew]

I'm excited for cleveM and WD

[rocky dagger]

I think it looks poor quality, it doesn't look like lexington

[oblique sinew]

Good enough for me

[neat matrix]

Old player

[rocky dagger]

tbh, if you made the art black and white, and then you told me that is yorktown

[oblique sinew]

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one

[rocky dagger]

I would have believed you

[shut crane]

looks like lexi to me

[peak knoll]

[oblique sinew]

I really like her dress

Tho

[neat matrix]

Unc player

[peak knoll]

yeah it just looks like a modern lexington

[rocky dagger]

Looks more like Yorktown than Lexington

[lament palm]

The first ship I saw today was Lex, so that was a terrible first impression

[peak knoll]

yorktown 2 made like 0 differences though

she looks like the exact same ship just put through an upscaler

[silver bear]

hello

[lament palm]

York 2 had some of the best art I've seen in the game

Hello

[weak parrot]

cleveland meta

[peak knoll]

she looks the same as yorktown 1

[shut crane]

our cleveland collection grows

[peak knoll]

they just changed the rarity

[silver bear]

i like her

[oblique sinew]

Yea opening the tweet up.
I still dont like it lol

[lament palm]

She's supposed to look like York 1, she is

But the art is waaaaay better

[peak knoll]

lex2 is one of the most changed one

[modern yoke]

It's time for a break

[peak knoll]

bismarck is sorta

[rocky dagger]

Just looks like pink yorktown

[oblique sinew]

Oh well

I dont have to like every ur

[peak knoll]

i hate when they make the art that big

[shut crane]

yeah, looks nothing like yorky

[lament palm]

Looks kinda like, N rarity Yorktown

[peak knoll]

and the shipgirl is like 30% of the art

[oblique sinew]

I dont even need to pull

[still dome]

I-404 lmao

[peak knoll]

i literally cant see the shipgirl

[rocky dagger]

Lexington isn't pink yorktown

[silver bear]

I can kinda see the Yorktown comparison

[rocky dagger]

looks too different

[shut crane]

[rocky dagger]

the hair style is different

[shut crane]

[weak parrot]

lexington is bigger saratoga

[rocky dagger]

the eye colors are different

[silver bear]

but their isnt enough there to actually say shes a pink Yorky

[lament palm]

I don't think she looks like Yorktown, I think she just looks low rarity. I didn't know she was the UR

[rocky dagger]

lots of it is very different

[lament palm]

Until I saw it said UR

[rocky dagger]

They should fix her face and hair a little

[oblique sinew]

That's fair. But it feels like the norm these days lol

[silver bear]

going by design for what is/isnt a UR is a bit memey imo

[rocky dagger]

so it looks more like Lexington

[peak knoll]

she does kinda just look like a retrofit

[lament palm]

Of course, every UR is different, but you expect some level of quality, you know? In the art

[silver bear]

but i get what you mean

[lament palm]

Her art doesn't look very polished

[weak parrot]

indiana retrofit

[oblique sinew]

But ofc my standards are kinda weird

[silver bear]

the image itself looks shoddy on my end

But im gonna withhold judgement until i actually see her ingame

[oblique sinew]

Oh well

[silver bear]

I personally don’t really care

[still dome]

I'm ngl it just looks like a completely different character, the hair isn't even the same shade of pink

[lament palm]

I'm relieved, cause I didn't save for this event lol

The one I like is free that's a blessing

[rocky dagger]

I'll leave it to CN to complain

They will change it if it is bad

[still dome]

Which one is that

[rocky dagger]

if CN complains enough, it will be changed

if it gets changed, it means most of CN agrees with me

[hot pewter]

do we have an event pt grind shipgirl btw?

[rocky dagger]

if it doesn't get changed, then the issue just lies with me

yeah she's the grind girl

Willie D

[lament palm]

Wittle D

[rocky dagger]

She's the event free UR

[peak knoll]

cn are crybabies tbh

[still dome]

Oh bet I only wanted her too

I can save more

[peak knoll]

yeah shes pretty cute

[hot pewter]

thats the event shop currency grind isnt it?

[peak knoll]

yeah and missions

the thing u need 300 of an item for

[hot pewter]

oh and missions? ok

[peak knoll]

or 200

[still dome]

Nah ur valid

[meager marsh]

Are you guys only comparing the two cause of the hair. Cause nothing else is the same about them

[lament palm]

Honestly if the ship looks bad to me, that's great because I get to skip, I think it annoyed me more to see people posted booobaaaa, to such a mediocre design more than anything

[meager marsh]

I don’t even think the art style is the same. Similar? Sure, not the same though

[lament palm]

It sets the standard for what we get later on

[peak knoll]

i dont think we ever said yorktown looked like her

we were talking about that lexington changed a lot between the last and now

and yorktown didnt change much

i think

maybe im blind though

[still dome]

She's not similar to Yorktown or who she's supposed to be imo

[hot pewter]

i deadass thought we still missing an elite shipgirl since we have only 4 revealed (5 for pasadena from cn reveal)

[radiant cipher]

Hot take

I like Willy D Porter

[still dome]

Lukewarm take

[peak knoll]

oh

[meager marsh]

And some other people

[peak knoll]

it was intrepids fault

[manic harness]

But the real question is
can cowpens dethrone kashino in the legendary tier chart.

[meager marsh]

We should blame all our problems on intrepid from now on/j

[peak knoll]

she needs the milk bikini skin to pop off (literally)

[lament palm]

I compared her, but she doesn't really look like York, just, looks low quality

[hot pewter]

so ig no elite shipgirl taking and rotting my dockspace

noice

[meager marsh]

Yeah, I can agree on people saying that she doesn’t look the same as her og self though

Lexi’s artist is different lol

when i hear fanservice i think of a simple outfit with miniskirt with sexy stuff added in like cleavage or pantyshot or side holes in the skirt

gooner makes me think more impractical as fuck leotards

outfits that are only good for fucking in

[lament palm]

Bro you think bdsm is creepy, you're the outlier here

you know people wear leotards for sports right?

[sleek cape]

i know about gymnastics

Doesn't mean I won't roast the new stupid slang terms that come
