As in his original artwork not the CG (scroll down a bit). I have to say, he may not be the best at designing new characters or redesigning current ones, but coming up with new costumes for the characters, I like it.
I never even noticed in the game that B Jenet has an Elena from SF3 costume.

The artwork does make some of the "homages" more obvious... some of these didn't look anything like they were probably supposed to when used in-game.
For example, I never realized that Yuri's orange and black outfit was supposed to be a take-off on Robert. I just thought it was supposed to be really ugly. And I thought that Ryo's white outfit was supposed to be Takuma, but looking at the artwork I can see it's actually Haohmaru. Weird.

That's a shame that these didn't translate so well in game. They are all beautiful designs.

So is Mai's Lum costume actually in the game?
... and is Lilly Kane really in the game?! that's crazy!! I'm sure this game is just gonna leave me upset and angry with it's retarded missions, bland graphics, and crashing like MI:Maniax did. But if 'Lum' can beat the crap out of Billy's little sister I might just have to play this someday.
Blanka and Dan make for a most excellent tag image (yeah still not funny)

As a Lum fan, I wish it looked more like Lum and was someone else donning the costume, probably B. Jenet. Lilly is a lot of fun because she's like her brother, yet different enough to give her own style. Hate her normal outfits though.
MI2 in general is a total rushdown game, made all the more obvious from its stark contrast with XI. It's really fast and it's less about strategy and more about quick reflexes. That does make it for a slightly sloppier game, but I still like it a lot. Some of the outfits and colors though are just hard to look at.

I've lost all interest in Falcoon's work with the release of MI. A big let down.
But these drawings are quite good ! Are all these costumes in the game, or are they just studies that didn't make it ?

Actually, I realized that, it was that one costume of Ryo's I thought was based off Ryu, but then I saw the black triangle border and realized it was Haohmaru.
Oh and I guess the link is down (maybe adding more, maybe they're onto us, *shrug*)

Shameless promotion: there's a Rapidshare link on my site, June 26 update. One of the images is up in Falcoon's site too.

Thanks Rid. I am not really digging all the original outfits except for Iori who looks pretty cool. I like the references though. Nice Char and Gundam ones in there.

I like most of them, actually, just not how they turned into 3d models for the game. I'm specially fond of the shoort haired Kula, maybe because she reminds me of Eureka from Eureka Seven.
