Hirohiko Araki

Araki has a very distinct art style. The look of the character's faces looks pretty realistic compared to most other manga. The characters also have a very masculine look to them, while also appearing flamboyant due to the bright colours and extravagant poses he usually draws the characters in. Most of the art drawn by Araki is for his JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series which is well known for the usual traits of Araki's art style. However, as you can see with the image on the bottom right, that being the first manga cover of JoJo, you can tell that Araki's style didn't start off this way. The style isn't as realistic or flamboyant, but it seems rather expressive.


Jack Kirby

Jack Kirby's art style is also a relatively realistic style. His style is the style usually associated with super hero comics today. The characters he draws usually have detailed muscular bodies which is probably done to present the characters as strong since they usually tend to be super heroes.The characters he draws have simple designs that tend to use no more than three different colours. Jack used to do art for Marvel Comics and DC Comics before passing away on the 6th of February, 1994.

Comparison


The two artstyles are similar in a lot of ways. They both go for a more realistic approach with the characters and draw the male characters with muscular builds. Both styles have a good amount of detail in the faces and bodies and both styles present the characters in poses showing off their powers and their personalities.

However, the two styles differ in some ways. Kirby goes for a more bold approach for shading in the characters whereas Araki makes it look more natural. Araki's poses are drawn much more flamboyantly and expressively, whereas Kirby's poses 
look more natural. They look more like poses the characters would do when in action, rather than showing off.



Daigo Ikeno

Daigo Ikeno's art style appears to be quite varied. From what I can tell here, he can do a different style based on what game his artwork is based on. He could do a more realistic look or a more anime inspired look. But in general, it seems Ikeno is more comfortable with realistic looking proportions while also using some darker colours to make the brighter ones stand out more. He also seems to be comfortable with using varied colours, too. Since Ikeno is one of the lead artists working at Capcom, I feel it is good that he has a varied art style since he can do artwork for pretty much all of Capcom's games. 


Shigenori Soejima

Shigenori Soejima's art uses a pretty simple looking anime style that appears to be a sort of blend between a more realistic art style and an anime looking art style. He uses bold colours on some of his character designs to make them stand out more while also using bold colours on the artworks themselves to, again, make them stand out. A word that could be used to describe his style would just be smooth. The shapes he uses look really smooth combined with the bright colours. Soejima does art for the Persona series as well as art for some other games by Atlus.

Comparison


Both artstyles present the characters drawn in more down to earth poses. Nothing too flamboyant, just poses that I could imagine the characters actually doing. The two artstyles also go for a more realistic approach when drawing rather than cartoony.

Daigo goes for a more natural and realistic style when colouring in and shading his drawings. His colouring style is more natural than Soejima's bolder approach to this. Soejima's colouring and shading is completely bold to make it stand out more. He goes for a more stylish artstyle than Daigo's realistic artstyle.

Concept Art Analysis

Concept Art Analysis Xenoblade Chronicles The concept art here is concept art created for the 3DS port of Xenoblade Chronicles in 2015. While I cannot find who drew it or exactly when it was drawn, I can make a guess that it was drawn sometime between late 2014 and the release date of the port, that being April 2nd, 2015. The game was developed by Monolith Soft, with the directors being Koh Kojima and Genki Yokota. The company has also worked on the Xenosaga series as well as a small amount of licensed games for other brands.  The strong elements in this design are the main character Shulk with his weapon called the Monado at the front, showing off the most important character in the plot of the game as well as something else of high value to the plot, and the large amount of the colour green as well as the large open area in the distance, showing that the areas in the game are not only covered in nature, but are also large and open to explore.

Evaluation

Evaluation Research Task For my research, I feel that I have conducted a pretty good amount of research. The images that I have looked into are from media that I already know a decent amount about, so looking into the images in further detail wasn't too much of a challenge for me. To improve my work, I would like to go into further detail on the subjects I was looking in to. I had a limited amount of time to look into these, so I had to cut a few corners here and there. To improve on this next time, I will make sure to save myself enough time so I can go into more detail on the research. Design Task For the design task, I feel that I have designed a pretty decent looking character. I took inspiration from medieval armor sets and modern day firearms. I feel that I have put a good amount of detail into the design and the gear of the character. Areas that I feel could be improved are the poses of the character. The poses that I have drawn are too simplistic in my opinion
