Am I the only one who sees this cg and thinks the art got worse then pre chapter 6? Maki face and even Anya face(lesser visible) are lower quality and their stomach shrunk, especially Anya because Maki tits are massive and are hanging but Anya feels off(like her shoulders are too wide)
Coudn't find Anya in similar position but look at Maki in Chapter 5, in my opinions she looks better here then on the teaser for ch.7 and sure this could be because this one is solo so ai has an easier task
You're not the only one as this has come up before both in the thread and a couple people I know dming me, but it's subjective. It's a stylistic change there's definitely nothing wrong with liking the previous style more. I'm not entirely sure why he changes up his style so often as I never asked, but I think based on the outcome he clearly wants the style to have a very hand drawn/comic look in comparison to other AI styles out there.
At least that covers the facial traits/linework/coloration etc. In terms of the broader shoulders on Anya, it's likely a mix of the resolution and angle she was rendered at. In an 832x1216 base render for example her shoulders would be more narrow on average than a 1344 x 768 base render.
In terms of my personal tastes, I do think Maki from chapter 5 was a bit better, but I actually prefer the newer look for Anya (ignoring the shoulder width of this particular render).
Just for context here's an 832x1216 base render (upscaled a ton) of Anya off patreon the other day.
The eyes in particular look far more hand drawn than AI eyes usually do, given that those who work on the eyes with inpaint/adetailer leave them with usually a very distinct crispness.
But again, it's super subjective and I can see preferring a style that is a bit higher in detail/less sketchy. But the sketch style is clearly the goal here (as it's actually far easier to create a high detail style than a sketch style) and I personally like it a lot.
Hope you like seeing the girls together
