i got so sad seeing that official art of hawks with his younger self, both just standing there. so here's older hawks putting in the work to heal himself
I'm very fond of the way Yoco Akiyama (Hori's assistant and the mangaka of Team Up) draws Hawks, especially the painterly style (she seems to really like drawing him). Her Keigo comes off as smaller, more compact, very much seems like he'd be a student if not for the facial hair. He's got a cherubic face, more so than Hori's and there's a cute slyness to it. Horikoshi's Hawks's eyes are a bit over the place with the shape changing but she tends to accentuate them being angular (triangles more than anything) and likes elongating them to be narrower. Manga-wise, he also has lashes when she draws him though they blend into his eyemarks and look like an extra point. Her drawing of him "japanese-style" (as Japanese twitter users pointed out) with a ho-oh is really beautiful too. He just comes off both youthful and mischievous when she draws him.
She really likes drawing his feathers too.
Though there are others that are a bit more pensive and somber, though, again, framed by his wings.
You can find her twitter and all her gorgeous promos for the show here.
