These aren't SEED redesigns, they're just completely different designs.

>>15432424
I'm... not sure what you mean? The artist redesigned the existing characters.

>>15432323
What is it with tumblr-styled redesigns always having a terrible grasp on proportions?

>>15432474
He's saying there's zero common elements between the real designs and these, so they're not redesigns. They might as well be doodles with familiar names slapped on.

These are fucking awful. The point of redesigns is to make them resemble the original, not replace them with another character.

>>15432474
I think what he means is how almost all the characters barely have any features in common with the character they were based on. They're so different that you can tell people that this is the cast for a new BONES mecha anime and they would believe you.

>>15432479
> Kira is still spiky brown haired
> Fllay looks similar, just with brown hair instead of red
> Sai still has glasses
> etc

Not exactly ZERO elements.

>>15432479
>>15432486
I mean, apart from the bridge crew, you seriously can't tell who everyone is? I always thought that these were better representations of each characters' respective personalities/roles than the originals.

>>15432323
Looks generic, desu

>>15432539
They're all ugly aside from Flay and Murrue who I wouldn't mind being used in something. If someone didn't say they were Seed character redesigns I wouldn't be able to tell aside from Rau.

With Rau's team, notwithstanding the man himself (the mask is dead obvious), I'm assuming wavy hair is Nicol and Yzak is the vaguely miffed chinese-ish dude with comb-backed hair, Dearka gets the strongman-ish build since he was always more crass than the rest of them, and Athrun is the one with lightstick hair, well, because.

Hey, Nicol dropped the slime green headfluff, that's a good point in my books.

And OP is complaining about newfag turnover, but I've never seen all of these even from before the first /m/ archivepocalypse in 2008. Were they posted once in a single good thread and then forgotten?

>>15432572
They've been posted before, but years ago. They always seem to get mixed but strong reactions, between, "This doesn't look like SEED and that's terrible," and, "This doesn't look like SEED and that's awesome." I'm in the latter group because I appreciated how the artist took the weirdly sterile base designs and made them more realistic without killing the futuristic vibe or making them too Western-style gritty, particularly with the uniforms. I also liked that the extendeds weren't just pretty boys and actually sort of disturbed me (which they should, since they're drugged-up super-pilots).

No idea who 5 and 6 in OP are.
No idea at all about the Creuset team.
No idea what that third image is.

Of all Gundam shows I would guess these were for, SEED would not be high in the list. I'd be more likely to guess they're fanmade for G-Saviour.

>>15432476
What kind of phony are you?

Just when you thought SEED couldn't get any worse

Well, at least Cagalli was changed for the better.

>>15432323
Yeah, I've seen these before, while the series was airing. A lot of brown people in it. If I remember correctly, Lunamaria is brown in this.

>>15432476
This is Japanese, and these were done in like 2003-2005, stupid.

>>15432474
Reboot Voltron has character redesigns. This is just new characters given names from an existing show, there's almost no way you can tell who is even who.

>>15432756
>>15433291
I feel like I'm being trolled. You people can't possibly be this imperceptive. There were like 4 or 5 named characters in G-Savior.

>>15433800
These designs are shit and I'll take Hiraiface over these any day. Sorry, anon.

>>15433291

Are you blind? Or unable to invoke the process of elimination?

>>15433836
This whole thing may predate tumblr, but it still reeks of it.

And seriously, how in the fuck are those last two obvious? Miriallia isn't obese or blonde and has fairly short hair, and as for Kuzzey, no comment. Even if I buy "male with short hair", "female with long hair", "male with glasses", and "male with shorter hair" as being clearly Kira Yamato, Flay Allster, Sai Argyle, and Tolle Koenig, those two appear to be just random shit.

>>15432323

No thanks, Hirai face is better than this

FUCKING LOL'D

>>15433870
Character redesigns aren't just palette swaps. The artist revamped their visual design based on their interpretation of the characters. They say on the site that Howe is a British name and their vision of British women is somewhat homely. So she's chubby. Kuzzey strikes them as the kind of person who would go full punk to hide their insecurities.

It's just a different interpretation, I don't get the freakout.

>>15433941
Imagine if IBO wasn't made, but I posted their designs and said it was a 0079 cast redesign.

Actually nvm, that doesn't work, because the cast of IBO has more in common with the cast of 0079 design-wise than these 'redesigns' and SEED.

>Kuzzey strikes them as the kind of person who would go full punk to hide their insecurities.
So this person didn't even watch SEED in the first place. Holy shit, they really are paving the trail that tumblr would follow.

>>15432323
These look horrible
seed's original designs are way more coherent, this artist is all over the place.
And it's like the outfits look wacky just to be different.

>>15433870
>And seriously, how in the fuck are those last two obvious? Miriallia isn't obese or blonde and has fairly short hair,
But her hair still feathers out to the sides, and she's the only other teen girl in their group besides Flay.

>>15433870
>This whole thing may predate tumblr, but it still reeks of it.
It reeks of Turn A you asshat.
Obviously these would be made around the broadcast of Seed when Akiman set a promising bar for the future of the franchise.

>>15433941
>How to tell when the artist is projecting.

>>15433950
/pol/ really has ruined this board, hasn't it? You didn't stop at political derails, you had to bring you inability to logic or be reasonable with you.

>>15434075
It's pretty much confirmed if anyone took the time to look through the other designs and realized that Lacus is a sort of weird Diana knockoff.

>>15434478
Cry /pol/ all you want, these 'redesigns' are still shit that don't resemble the original characters nor anything having to do with SEED whatsoever, and would look more at home pretty much anywhere else. Like G-Saviour.

>>15433836
>Kira - generic azn boipucci
>Flay - space Daphne
>Sai - tall, glasses, hair, boring
>Tolle - the face of the kind of person who lets his joking get ahead of himself
>Miriallia - destined to lose the MC-bowl
>Kuzzey - perpetual slow boil angst/shade

You really have to be stupid not to be able to tell who's who immediately.

>>15432644
>not liking delicious dark girls with white hair

If anyone ever doubted neo-/m/ is shit, here's proof.

>>15434492
Who of these is who in G-Savior, anon? And how do you account for the massive discrepancy in cast size?

>>15434030
>and she's the only other teen girl in their group besides Flay.

That just means you're doing the process of elimination after you figured out they were Seed redesigns. If someone didn't tell you there were Seed redesigns no one would guess it because they look nothing like Seed characters.

>>15432476
Those are anatomically correct and normal human proportions. Sorry it's not your CLAMP-tier noodle people.

>>15434562
Seems obvious to me. Mark is the first, then Cynthia, then there's Jack, Dieter, Mimi, and Garneaux. They all have about as much in common, after all.

>And how do you account for the massive discrepancy in cast size?
Same way I account for the massive discrepancy in Miriallia's waist size.

>>15434610
By my best recollection, none of those people were teenagers or even remotely resembled teenagers.

>>15432323
>Kira looks like Mika
Why would it be better?

That Flay looks awesome though.

Grown-ass adults are no more than six heads tall in this art. What difference would it make?

>>15435751
The proportions are fine, not that you'd be able to tell.

This is not the board to be doubling down on your initial idiocy. Just drop it.

Wow, I've never said that something looks gay, but this looks gay as fuck.
Half these designs look like they came out of a gay strip club that was hosting a porno shoot.

why?

>>15439344
It must be a thing with the artist. Every girl who isn't Flay is some combination of short/chubby/randomly-black.
At least 'Luna''s expressions remind me of the real one. Most of the other characters have little resemblance or relation.

>>15438826
Why the fluffy pants? But anyway, wow that's a dweeby haircut. He's basically asking for Kira to ruin his life. And those fucking eyelashes.

>>15438833
This doesn't even make sense. Hawke is an English last name and it doesn't even look anything like Lunamaria. The artist is just putting names on SEED characters. I'm beginning to think this is done by some expat. They always cry about muh racism and homogeneity while living in Japan.

>>15439377
You can Google Translate the page, you know. The artist says "Lunamaria" makes them think "South America".
