Style works [videos in post] (Patreon)

Hello, followers!

A bit about the process of chosing the art style.

While opting for the game visuals, I tried different combinations of art styles.
Merging art models so they don't look exactly like the one invented by the creator of that art but a mix that feels like something new. I wasn't sure about going for a more realistic style or a more cartoonish one.

Working with AI, what I found is that making images and animations for cartoon/anime styles is easier to do and requires less trial and error, but the results always looked cartoonish. When the style was more realistic or close to real (80% to 90%), then the videos are harder to make, take longer to finetune, but they look more cinematic with less mechanic movements.
That's why I opted for the current style of the game, it's harder to make, but quite unique.

I do like cartoonish mixes, but maybe for a future game on content as cartoon animations get better.

These are two different styles I was worked on with before settling with the one in the game:

Style 1

This style is based on different art combination from old type animes, modern lines and dappled colors.

Style 2

This style is a merge of different known artists, like Melkor, T-rex studios on top of a modern anime style, with bright colors. This is a very common style to see and not very far from the phone NTR games.
