That's true. Another thing that bothers me about his art is the complete lack of texture. He colours everything like it's made of play-dough. It's even worse when he actually does bother to render the clothes but the hair still looks sculpted (best example is the LoZ stuff).
Speaking of, maybe I should deconstruct exactly what bothers me about Clockwork Empire because it's a good example of what's wrong with all of his "reboots".
Legend of Zelda tends to be a common target of people looking for "sexism" in video games because of its popularity and age, and its outward appearance of having a "save the princess" plotline. This draws idiots like Diaz in thinking that if they just make Zelda playable instead of Link, sexism is over! But they fail to have any respect for the series and its mythos. Zelda is not a weak character. She has her own personality and set of skills. In any given game, she's usually the only character that knows what's actually going on, and she has to make tough decisions all on her own because everyone around her is in the dark. A game starring her could easily be very good, but no "rebooter" ever respects her as a character. They think all they need to do is reskin Link into Zelda and call it a day. Because very few of them have actually played the LoZ games. Aaron Diaz, by his own admission, did not (don't remember where he said it but it's obvious)
If you want a female Link, just make a female Link. Ain't no rule that says Link can't reincarnate as a female. If you want a playable Zelda, understand that she's a distinct character that would have a radically different style of play than Link. By forcing Zelda into the role of some hardcore swordswoman, you're ignoring the things that make her unique.
Especially baffling that LoZ gets picked on for being "sexist" because the games are very matriarchal. The playable character may be male, but most of the movers and shakers in the LoZ universe are women. The entire pantheon is female, with the exception of Demise who is evil. There's an entire badass desert tribe consisting of only women. Most of the people with actual authority are female. Hell, Twilight Princess isn't even about Link at all, it's Midna's story. Link is just the hapless redneck who was dragged around to do the grunt work. LoZ is definitely not short on strong female characters, so why fix it?
Because the only thing that Diaz and others care about is seeming like a good person. It's all for SJW points. Why have any respect for a series and its history when you can throw all that out the window so you can seem "enlightened." All of Diaz's reboots absolutely reek of this.
