Just a heads-up, chan_chanz has scanned the Prince Animage Lelouch image and many others from this month's magazines over at her journal.

Except, this isn't CLAMP's work. It's Sakou Yukie, who did this kind of stuff.

So, yeah...

Oh, of course. I stand corrected. I always think of Geass as being a CLAMP anime when it isn't. *facepalm*. Well, anyway. The point still stands.

It's a common misconception. CLAMP did do the character designs for CG, but they don't do the animation or anything else. Their versions of Lelouch make him look more like Kamui than this... idk, Lulujandro Latin Lover version. It could also be Sakou Yukie's evolution of art, 'cause her original versions of Lelouch were a lot more... reserved (while still pretty, er... well, you can see). Her stuff seems to be marketed more towards fangirls.

All in all, there are a couple of different artists that do official stuff for spreads/magazines/dvd booklets/etc. Ishida Kana does stuff more like this and tends to do stuff more for Newtype like featuring the girls more too. Sakamoto Shuuji does a bit, again the Newtype sort of stuff. There's also Kimura Takahiro who stuff is generally more well known and he does most of the animating or adapting CLAMP's designs for the anime. He's considered the official official artist for Code Geass.

remember the original design from way back. he had white hair and an overall different look. i think the director must've prompted them to change the design.
