Servant First Impression - Tezcatlipoca

[@BeaSaitou193]

Not gonna lie, his art style looks like it was made for those free history books the government give out to students in Mexico. Can confirm as Mexican

[@Kronosfall91]

Exactly what I thought lol It's like the cover illustration from a SEP textbook lol

[@xpotoh356]

When I first time saw his 2nd ascension I barely had a heart attack, since I thought it was artist from MGQ.

[@marcokozmann8001]

[@dgamer5432]

Duele de lo cierto que es jsjsjsjsjsjs

[@MagicIsNotRealWhoops]

So, about the art. I personally LOVE this sort of "some obscure manga from the 90's" artstyle. The problem comes from questionable designs for the 2nd and 3rd ascensions (they might be intentional. The 2nd ascension definitely looks like something from old sci-fi manga with their weird robo suits) and coloring. Oberon also had a pretty unique artstyle, but he had no issues with colors. Here, however, he is too light, almost transparent. I think the art itself would look better if you give him more shading and more brighter colors. It also can be a compression issue. The artist for Luvia's art in FGO said that their art was compressed incorrectly into the game, which is why it looks "bad", I guess. They actually contacted Lasenge about this, but no changes were made

[@e.andreamasonr.7308]

Agreed. The black Jaguar and the obsidian leg elements are accurate to the lore of the character, and the artist -Shou Tajima- can actually draw quite well... His realistic sketches and black and white drawings are particularly nice. However, he drop the ball here. I don't understand why Lesangle agreed to use that artwork. While it is debatible if the artist's usual style (the watercolor and light palette, etc.) is a good match to the character's story and personality, the art of the second and third ascensions is below the standards of the artist's usual work.

[@HerMi.T]

Honestly, I personally like the art, because it give him an ethereal and smoke-like feels, that he just straight up doesn’t care about what anyone think of him, while forcing you to care about what he think of you. But it’s definitely one of those “Love it or Hate it” Art

[@paps3060]

the art style is nice to be fair but i think the posing is the big issue that and of course the colours being so washed out looking, which works for the artist's work but not for this context but yeah, mainly the posing is very awkward

[@closotezuka]

i think his final ascension is very artsy and cool. the 1st 2nd and 3rd look so out of place in this game though. like myst says he looks so small

[@manwithabasicprofilepic]

Someone in the comments said it best, it doesn’t fit FGO. The game is unique by letting artists show off their art styles, like Dantes and Cleo’s artist, but Tez goes too far in that direction. If the artwork was more solid and less watercolors, it might look better. But right now, it just looks like concept art. Like the artist was running late submitting the art and just gave Lasengle what they had finished.

[@ThoraeJenkins]

Strong disagree. His art looks like it was done paper and then scanned and very minorly touched up on PC. Digital art is much easier and faster to make than that, AND it's what his artstyle has always been. They picked him because they wanted that style. Running late and submitting what they had is a good call on Emiya Assassin though. Literally paint bucket 3 shades of grey and then 20% opacity a texture over him. The issue is that most people who play FGO are weebshits and consider traditional art mediums ugly because digital is 'cleaner'. I make Digital art myself, and that's because of how much easier it is than painting. Cheaper, there's an undo button, and other peole have done most of the work for you in creating brushes and textures.

[@Lavrec]

I said the same thing its just not anime enough for fgo, it like 90s scifi/fantasy art

[@HellecticMojo]

[@JakeMatthews-OnLo]

Don’t worry Myst a lot of players are agreement that his art is probably the worst in fgo so far especially for a 5 star limited Lostbelt servant. I’m honestly glad he’s not the summonable grand berserker. I hope he’s like Tai Gong or the first emperor qualified but isn’t.

[@blurb9319]

Just a small correction, but QSH simply has a spirit origin on par with grands and does not qualify for any of the seven grand class containers (also I think that Tez’s 1st and 3rd ascensions look kinda cool ngl)

I think it's one of those cases where you either love it, or hate it.

[@e.andreamasonr.7308]

As a Mexican myself and since Tezcatlipoca is my favorite god from the mesoamerican pantheon, I find it to be really disappointing... No only because I feel the art style itself doesn't match the character (Camazotz looks way better in comparison), but because the artist's abilities seem lackluster; Coloring, anatomy, even the Mexican elements are lacking and look flat and ugly in comparison... It's a fact they have way more talented artists in Japan, so I can't understand their decision... By the end of the Post Classic Mesoamerican period, along with Hitzilopochtli and Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca was the most relevant God... It feels like a big wasted opportunity.

The artstyle in my opinion isn't bad its just doesn't fit in a FGO game because it has a background art while in Fire Emblem/Romancing Saga it fits so well the reason behind it doesn't have a background art only the characters profile. This would fit as a box art of an SNES or SEGA SATURN Cartridge.

[@demothiguillermo2059]

That's what people used to say about Oberon

[@e.andreamasonr.7308]

Maybe I'm being too harsh on Tezcatlipoca's design due to personal reasons, but I believe that, while Umino Chika's style seemed kind of out of place compared to other character's when the 1st ascension was revealed, the character's design became better with each new ascension.. Shou Tajima has been drawing for decades and, while I'm not a fan of his artwork, I know he can draw quality stuff when he feels like it, but it is like he didn't even tried. I don't mind his color palette... While I don't think it matches the character I'm aware it is part of the artist's style, but the outfit design, the pose and anatomy are lazy and lacking in quality, and the character expressions are incredibly cringy as well. Instead of growing on me, like Oberon's design did, it disappointed me every time a new ascension was revealed. I can't help but think that a less reputed artist could have done a much better work. It's like he just wanted to finish early and go home.

[@PiccoloNamexio]

1:42 Indeed, definitely "not bad". Guys, it's okay to criticize something.

Definitely like that final ascension art. But I'm sure when he comes to NA in a couple of years I'll be just as iffy about it lol

[@Danothyus1]

[@Ushiwakamaru_BAU_BAU]

Don't like to diss any artist cause that's subjective but man, it's kinda hard to look at him.

[@galaxianexplosion5198]

I think my opinion's with the consensus for the most part. The second ascension is...really something. I think part of it might be most of the fandom (including myself) being used to F/GO with its attractive characters, even though the ugliness may well be intentional in this case. And even so, the second ascension is just kind of counterintuitive artistically, in terms of choice of facial proportions and the overall lack of contrast/stiff posing. Also, as has been noted from the get-go, the general art style and lighting choice also tends to contrast the backgrounds drawn by other artists in a way that isn't so appealing. Ascension-wise, I can only comment on the first ascension because I'm not knowledgeable at all when it comes to the character's lore (Ascension 3), but I do think the tacky tourist look has grown on me a bit. The dude seems like someone who intentionally would make himself look like that to make others underestimate him and to annoy them, and it fits with Quetz's assessment of what he'd look like. Plus there's just something about characters who look iffy as all heck for me, I dunno. And for his FA art, I think it actually does better what (I think) Ascension 2 tried to do. For me the pale colors work better in this case, and there's something about Tezcatlipoca's expression and perspective that feels really nice to me. But this one does seem to be more subjective. I do think that it's funny in a way that this dude jumpscares us F/GO players, who are usually expecting ascensions to get cooler/more epic. It feels like the artist hit the nail on the head in terms of knowing how we'd react and usurping our expectations. Overall, the expression changes just seem like such a bad joke, which seems very characteristic of this dude. Anyways, again, all of this is just my opinion lol. Feel free to disagree or agree with any part of it. But this does feel rather new for the community, and honestly I can't say I dislike that. (But if I summoned the dude, I definitely would avoid the random ascension option just to avoid the second ascension art showing up. xD)

I like first asc and FA, am okay with third one, but goddamn... That second ascencion is really oof

He thinks muramasa is the alter ego version and when he finds out that it’s a different dude he says “I simply have a connection to a differently classed version of you, and to the person acting as your vessel” Almost all of his bond and my room lines are Kirei centric and don’t say much about Rasputin.

@@sobokgaming8476 Damn...My information was based on the story. I apologise, my mistake there. I'm still flabbergasted as to how the body of Kotomine Kirei and his mind/soul were able to survive

[@muchluck7981]

I dont know about this art being bad. This art is so bad it cycles back to being good. Theres something that can be said about good art but bad art? Priceless

[@generalkenobi1972]

I agree with Astreas art being not that good but her final art is cool, imo this guy is in a competition with saber lancelot for worst art in the game, at least saber Lancelot has better quality

It's not just the style(I actually kinda like it, it's like those old FF title arts) the design itself doesn't look very good, kinda feel like there wasn't much care put into it or they went "could you sketch up some biker looking guy" and colored up the rough sketch as the final product. I know this probably isn't the case but looking at him just makes me feel that.

[@ojedaojeda4770]

People shittin' on the art style too much. Y'all to used to the typical mainstream anime stuff. This is one of those art-styles fit for a manga that are "ugly" at first sight but if you sit down and absorb it for what it is, it's actually not as bad as you're meming it to be. I know people thought Attack on Titan's manga looked gross til they got over it and actually appreciated the work. Y'all straight up insulting an unconventional style of work. Calling it "unfinished" just because it's not filled to the brim with coloring like you're used to. The only thing awkward about it is the body proportions.

[@MystFGO]

I think the main problem a lot of people have is that it feels very out of place compared to almost every other artstyle in FGO.

[@distant804]

His art reminds me a lot of Romancing Saga

[@ruikirisame1744]

yeah, i 100% agree, this feels like concept art. why is he so zoomed out?

[@someoneelse4939]

"WOOOOOOOO"

[@carloscapivaro2025]

For sure , pvp is coming

[@---rm8do]

OK but his kit is great and we don't have that many arts looping assassins iirc

[@TheLonelyMoon]

his art style rather looks like a WIP sketch that a finished product 💀

Most important thing for me with Tez being released is increased chance for another buff for Shuten.
