I wish that they would give us larger images of Nona's art. Athena looks pretty good, but between the ultra bright shading, the small size of the picture, and the way parts of Nona's characters get smaller and smaller (feet, legs, sword), I really can't make much of her out. Red Arremer looks awesome, though. Kickass wings.
And I notice that they're in a different tier than Shin Gouki and Serious Mr. Karate. I guess they're definitely not in the arcade version unless SNK has hidden a time lock on it, but maybe there's some hope that they won't be cheap, worthless characters in the home versions.

Play KOFs previous to 2k.
Look at the winning portraits of 98. Athena, super sexy idol. Look at the official Shinkirô art of 99. Benimaru, so elegant. Look at the winning art of 97. Beware of my shoulders. Orochi Leona, so... inhuman.
And about Hiroaki... Yes, he did great things, like Kof 2000, but he also did things like EX2 or the poster of last mounth Arcadia.
Nona is not the best artist ever, but some people tend to hate him because they idealize artists whose average art they didn't see for so long they forgot how bad it can get. The ratio of good/awfull art by Nona tends to get better as time goes by, SvC has many good arts, and when I see how terrible Nona art was in 2001 and how good it got in 2 years, I'm looking forward for the next game he works on.
Same thing goes for the backgrounds. I wonder if haters of the backgrounds of Chaos remember the oh-so beautifull backgrounds of, say, CvS2. Yeah, the ice stage! so wonderfull! Of, look! The Shanghai stage! it turns round! Look at all the badly animated GIFs in the background! So creative!
But it had polygons, so I guess most people prefer ugly flashy things to average - to - good - looking backgrounds that don't feel necessary to disturb players with insane kabuki fight in the middle of the fight.

some of Nona's best work next to Zero, IMHO.
I agree with Cain.

Agreed, I want Zero's and Athena's in good quality ^^'
Thanks for the link.
Edit: Looking at that Athena... I think Nona actually would be a good artist for a platformer.
Well, I agree with all those ^_^U, certainly.

But that depends on opinions. Some people might like more an animated BG full of people and so than a deserted one, can't they? Or they might like some artist's work more than someone else's. I actually like (in general, there're always exceptions) KOF '98 winning portraits, for example (and I'm starting to get the feeling I'm the only one... ^_^U).
I agree with you that everyone tends to criticise too generally people's works and that we usually forget the works from our favourite artist/s we didn't like, but that doesn't mean neither those you mention nor Nona's nor anyone else's works are objectively bad, just because you or most people didn't like it.
I hope I didn't go too much offtopic nor I sounded (readed?  ) too harsh, just wanna state this is all a matter of opinions/tastes, me thinks.
Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...
