Sweet fucking bejesus! What have I glimpsed upon...I'm like, what the hell, is this what we were promised instead after we waited and asked patiently? Are we here just to suffer? (would rather have One complete Jubilee first, I wouldn't mind waiting for a longer time for Jean actually...)
Fuck, I was listening to Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head again earlier...this is definitely biting me back in the
ass dick

Though I appreciate that that poses are not being reused between girls, if the art assets for a pose haven't come together a "Programmer's Art" substitute should be used instead, like a basic monocolour silhouette say so that at least the rest could get playtesting. Basically: stick in a cardboard cutout saying TEMPORARY on it and put up a warning on the choice that leads to it so it manages expectations. If it falls behind long enough it'd be more straightforward to know when to just subcontract the art out, keep the Patron backers happy and maintain a good rep for a smoothly ran project (I imagine a good rep means better word of mouth, more money?).
I don't want to mean spiritedly mock someone else's efforts because there's too much of that on the internet, but I don't think the pose, as is, is a great fit for eroticism. Pics related. It's maybe technically demanding for the VN format too because of the perspective. Nearer parts of Jean need to be bigger (eg face and head), further need to be smaller, and reusing regular sized stuff will look anatomically wonky even if it is economical for project management. Otherwise it could look like she's standing upright but there's nothing between her chin and breasts so her mutant powers also made her... a bit less photogenic, to be polite.
Maybe I've GITS on the brain and maybe it works better in motion. Even if it doesn't win me over I doubt I'll be too bothered (I think Jean's facing away is maybe some of the best artwork in Rogue-Like).
