I actually like the old stuff more, stylistically. Those unique visuals, colors, the hairstyles, lots of love put into 90's stuff especially.

Couldn't agree more, the style developed to enable animation with minimal frames (sliding images over each other etc.). Now its done on computers just 'because', many of the newer digitally done anime I cant stand the look of, just make them a cartoon at that point.

i can agree that visually i like harder lines around the characters, much like the simpsons and family guy i think it makes it more charming, i feel the same with anime.

this anime for example works well for me (the one im watching) cuz it blends both, nice outlines for the skin but the hair they use a similar colour

I think it comes down to overuse of shading amongt other things (same as AI art, its always got this bright soulless lighting going on), old anime was drawing simplistic as possible but maximizing impact, now its about getting a complex cg drawn image and 'dumbing it down'. The creative drive feels different.

Agreed, the writing is just peak, my only problem is I want more so I just try to forget the game for a few months so when I get back there's far more content

How often is it updated? Too many games just stall out before they end.

that makes sence. for example Doris went from this, my original, made by layering shapes and using various opacities on a sewing soft wear for an embroidery machine. shout out to my mother for helping me make sure the boobs looked 3d lol

to this with ai. though i thing ai did do a great job of capturing her skin texture.

The Ai did a decent job but the colors look a little washed out with the shading, needs the harder lines of a limited pallet (have you asked it to use only 2-3 shades of red and one brighter color to highlight, limited to anti-aliasing where the colors meet
Two would look more anime IMO - one base color, one darker for shading & then a lighter color for highlights is standard in most hand drawn simplistic styles) - the colors on the left leg for example are overly blended (which happens in some) but generally for that anime vibe its harsh lines and limited colors for shading

why is that middle glowing, but lighing will get better in time. it did do a great job. but like me it can do better. it maybe did well cus its a simplistic style image. it was made for a completition for this site so was quite proud of the original. even used it as an MC for a gta rp server for a little while

I like the ai one but the original one was also solid. I like both honestly

evening peeps just gonna be lurking in here, hope you are all well, might watch some anime.

I see that cheeky little Gemini watermark there in the corner. Also what anime did you end up watching if any?

Its in error used the highlight color as the darkest shading (look at the calves as well for another example)

from a quick review there are about 86 visual color layers in the red, need to get that down significantly, the shading is going for a source lighting photo realistic merge on a 2d cartoon. Tell it to limit the skin pallet significantly and blend only where the colors meet (anti-aliasing to stop squares like in the badge of your text).

Find an artists whos style you like and get your hands on the .psd file so you can deconstruct it layer by layer, then limit yourself (or the ai via your request) to that many layers.

tbh thats good advice but i only use ai for meme purposes so im not to worried (im not a mobile game dev lol)

Fair enough, but its a line or two of instruction to add to your meme to make it look more stylisti. Or if its for memes maybe go the opposite and ask for maximum photo realistic lighting on the tits only
