discussion stylized art vs realistic

[Narch]

When it comes to artwork wich ones do you prefer? a realistic artstyle or one with less rigid constraints?
Personaly when i see realistic artwork they often come across as ugly due to uncanny valley, it feels as if the author is sacrificing atractiveness for the sake of realism. It is even worse when it comes to 3D as the loss of details and increased blandness of the models makes them very unappealing meanwhile stylized art often have the advantage of being able to emphasize some traits to make the character more appealing to the brain even though the end result is less "human-like". But still when it comes to certain niches the realistic style is often more present, what other advantages do you think this style has besides it's namesake?

Agree with your points there. Personally, I prefer stylized art because it often brings out more creativity and unique expression. I would love to immerse myself in a different world.

I'm a fan of stylized hate the generic bimbo look for sure I prefer a custom hand crafted look even if they a bit weird lookin.

Stylized art is extremely fun. Gets none of the Uncanny Valley effect and usually has a more appealing look generally speaking

good style all day, including 3d (i hate daz3d, i love custom udon)

Stylized is generally better and help prevent models from looking the same as other games. Realistic graphics are great if they are top notch (Being a DIK/Midnight Paradise).

I love realistic arts, i would love to watch them only if they were popular enough.
Stylized arts often lost any connection with reality and it becomes simply shapes with atmosphere of lewdity you was trained to lust about.
Last years loli artists started to be more realistic in single arts and in doijinshis which make me happy. In old days draw few straight lines and you can call it a loli. Nowadays artists actually keep proper anatomy and appearance of younger ones.

stylized, realistic is never really done well and always looks creepy to me

 

[jawstheguppy]

I think both have their charms. The bigger issue for me is the vision in question

Eh to be honest a little bit of both is good, too much realism would give it a uncanny feeling but too stylized would either be too cartoonish or something else so yes a little bit of balance between both is always good

I generally prefer the realism for these games, but it always depends on how well it's done.

All my childhood crushes and most of my awakenings were 2d-animated so...

 

[MonleyGod123]

I prefer realistic art

 

[Vexzionel]

Whichever has the better story and animations

I originally avoided stylized games, but I found it be easy to get used to them. And there's quite a few stylized gems out there!

 

[riccs98]

I prefer the realistic ones.

 

[Xeno_Frost]

For me it's not about what type is better it's more about what the arts final product looks like

 

[Hibico23]

Realistic for me. DAZ games are my go to

 

[highstr]

styalised all the way, even if the art is "poor" quality its always so much better to me than realistic, if i want realistic id watch porn or a game with real porn

 

[adsgsf]

normally Stylized art is better and i like more than realistic

 

[a1fox3]

For me its more about the story than the art style.
Both are good as long as it has a good story to go with them.
