I just post pngs here around 10mb like whatever.. I don't think I even use jpgs at all, it's png to webp for the game. That's why I hate discord.. to post there I'd have to convert them to jpg cause of the size. Annoying.
Do you like the style?
How old do they look?
Any other criticism?

I use JPG to upload. It's a compressed format, but nobody really needs all the other data, anyway.
I'm guessing that's why some of the VNs are so large. Some crazy large file sizes for mostly using static images...

Yea.. I don't think I could live with internet like that. I worked for a local ISP provider for few years so I'm living on that high end fiber here. If my porn started buffering midway I'd proly lose my shit.

in you're middle render the girl seems to have sunk through the floor if you look in the mirror. I'd try to adjust for that (It's hard to keep mirrors in mind when posing since they don't reflect until you put it in Iray). If you want to use the images for a game I suggest to keep the lower third free if you want to place a textbox over it. (I try and forget all the time)
may I suggest

? really helps to keep the file size down and I have compared several images to their original and could not see a quality difference. saves 70% or more on average. Over hundreds of images I have only had one image that had wierd artifacting.

webp is the best for VN. It's lossless format, it's usually under 1mb file size and works in ren'py

you dl cwebp conversion tool and use command prompt.
It's pretty easy to google.. since it's a format by google.

The head on the second girl looks a little bit off (maybe to big?) could be the ankle tho. other than that, they look very good, like some actual human beeings that don´t have the perfect model looks. I like them. the yellow backgroud bites my eyes tho. xD
Yeah, they are slightly stylized. Their heads and eyes are too big for their bodies. They all have a toon morph mixed in. Maybe I went too far with the second girl. You mean the short one, the second from the left, correct?
Another one from a game I’m working on. Title right now is Locked In. The basic concept is that COVID happens while you’re at college and your best female friend (who is also your best friend’s girlfriend) gets stuck and has to stay with you during quarantine. I've got the first chapter written/coded and I’m just working on renders.
This is the main female character.

yeah its the second one from the left.
I stopped reading at COVID happens. Picture looks good tho.
FWIW, the game won't actually mention COVID specifically. It's just set during a pandemic so that the main female character has to live with the MC… it also provides other plot points. But it’s not exactly about COVID.

Not bad but I'd go with larger eyes (Large eyes are something we are hardwired to find beautiful if I remember rightly). the girl second from left looks a bit angry/evil because of the really inward sloping brows.
It has pro's and cons. Because JPEG is a lossy format so you have more chance of (visible) artifacts. The amount the game will scale well is lessened (e.g. from a 1080 monitor to a 1440p monitor).
If you want to layer images in Ren'Py you can't use JPEG because the background can't be transparent.
On the plus side it's file size is quite small.
I don't have any cut and dry solutions but I wouldn't be surprised if many animations have a reasonably large file size. keeping it down will maske it easier to load. You could also experiment if a different file type works better than another. For me OGV seems to work quite well. I use

to convert my avi's to this file type. Again I don't really see a quality difference between the original and the converted file with a saving of 60% or so.And let me pitch in with some extra art as well (First two images are twins Hannah and Ruby last two images are of Zoe):

Style's more realistic, which is a change. There's vague hints of people I've seen walking around in the real world.
And now I'm going to get harsh with one person's opinion, so your call on taking it or leaving it. I'll also preface that by saying I am an asshole.

Heard a song yesterday that I hadn't heard in years. Thought it was a good idea for a render. She wore a raaaaspberry beret...
Also, combining hats and hair can be frustrating.
