>>56800035>Striation trioUnironically better. There's so much added character, like Chili wearing his vest informally and Cress having large bangs that signify his shy demeanor. Also beta Cilan is cute.
>LenoraBetter as well. Actually looks like a museum director here, as
>>56800115 has stated.
>BurghWorse. Not offensively bad or anything but the final design is masterful in portraying a flamboyant artist type. The stubble and odd smile in this design make him look somewhat off-putting.
>ElesaPretty much the same as the final but I like how tall she is here. It adds character and makes her somewhat domineering, which ties back into her background as a child star.
>ClaySame basic design elements as the final.
>SkylaSEXOOOOO aside, this is worse than the final. The hairstyle looks retarded and final Skyla looks more like a pilot and less like a random gussied-up slut.
>BrycenNothing noteworthy to discuss here but I fuck with the mask.
>IrisUnironically better. The large eyes and the try-hard dragon pose are both adorable. It does a better job at contrasting her innocent demeanor with her battling prowess than the final imo.
>DraydenEhhhhh this is too corny for my liking. He looks like a cartoon villain here. He looks like an formal man capable of leading Opelucid in the final, which is needed in order to contrast with Iris's goofy and innocent demeanor.
All in all I'd say we were 50% robbed 50% bestowed. I think the most offensive rob here were the Striaton triplets.
