Based on her art, it looks like her style would work well.
Although, I think the biggest thing from this is this quote:
Wut? I can remember other developers got involved, but I didn't know they fully replaced IntiCreates. I hope the development for the game is going fine as it's unusual for a developer to be fully replaced.

fluffyquack I can assure you the game development is going smoothly. People ask IGA all the time in interviews about release window, and he's always relaxed and confident saying first half of 2018. 505 Games has assured us all features are still in, and that budget isn't an issue.

I prefer Mana's art style over Kojima's due to the faces being distinctively male or female and not androgynous. They are both very similar, if it weren't for the face style i don't think i could tell the difference.
I voted yes

Answered the call and added my vote as well (even if usually not visiting much). As a game developer myself I'm sure IGA has his reasons and I will understand if he decides to ignore the results of the poll, but voting is also a great way to appreciate Mana's stunning work.

They are both very similar, if it weren't for the face style i don't think i could tell the difference. I voted yes I don’t agree with this because Gebel and Johaness have an androgynous look. Only Zangetsu and the old man look like men. I do love the influence of Ayami Kojima. I cannot wait to see what Mana could do, I am sure it would be spectacular! |

I voted for Mana, but I still would love to see more of Natsume's art. I can't help but still have an attachment to their art because it's what I saw back when the Kickstarter began; and besides that, it still looks very nice.
Thanks for the art you've done, Natsume-san! I'd like to follow you on Pixiv, NND, or Twitter for any art you do, but I can't seem to find any of those

I voted on Mana too, I simply loved that art, it is somewhat nostalgic.  |

I like both, honestly. But if I had to pick, I'd go with Mana's. Though I will always have a place in my heart for Natsume's version.

Sad to lose Natsume on the project, but Mana will be able to provide, for sure.

That's a yes from me. Wish I had more time to be on the forums to help support everything, my son was born a few months after the kickstarter ended so I've had little time. But I believe keeping consistent with the art style will be integral to the total reception of the game from the outside market that didn't back us yet. Mana is good, and keeps the style alive with a slightly different angle to it. So keep it consistent guys, we're rooting for your success!

I'm torn. While Mana's style is more gothy and detailed, the perspective is flatter, and the faces and poses have a stock visual-kei approach. For a designer of an action game, Natsume's more distinct shapes and poses lend themselves better to the genre, especially at the size of Bloodstained's 3D models.
If Natsume's unavailable or there's a lot to fill for promotioanl art, then definitely bring on Mana. I'm just less sure of her as a designer.
Who drew all the monsters like the Dullahammer and stuff? They're essentially where all the variety is, so even if the demo boss had room for improvement, I'd be equally concerned with them no longer being available.

Just because they aren't beef cakes doesn't mean its difficult to discern their gender (this is even putting aside that all the adult women in the cast sport ample cleavage or bosoms LOL). You are familiar with "Bishonen" right? Pretty dudes are still just as much dudes as any other dude |

I believe the forums would be a good start but, eventual we should branch the project to others outside of the fan community. We could possibly try and contact some journalists and start going up the publicity ladder, personally I think gamexplain would be our best bet to show our wishes to Iga. anyways just some pondering don't take it too seriously.

I don't think Mana would be a monster designer, IIRC Angel said DICO did drafts for the monsters and stuff. So if that's what you're worried about, I think it should be OK on that front. DICO will design beasties, and then Mana would put those on posters, manual art, etc. as they direct |
