I don't mean it as an insult, but they look a bit AI-ish maybe? I can't really put it into words, but they've got that AI feeling going for them I guess. The dude on the right especially, one of his arms looks a bit fucked up. I don't think it's fully AI, and I could just be wrong and this is just how WeirdWorld's style has evolved, but I can't help but feel like it was AI, or part AI at least.
Could be, but hands and fingers are always more difficult though, even for drawing by hand... There's color difference too, belly/arm with fist are more grey, the other arm is more pink, face something in between... And the arm with the fist looks like it might be a picture, looks like there's some black outline added. Same with the guys shoes and jacket, those look more like a picture too... But a paintbrush can give much of that effect too... Lets just assume it's a first design
She definitely strikes me as the type to keep an eye on her "students" but never holding their hand, to basically see which ones will come out on top. The ressourceful ones, who can progress by their own strength, are more useful to her than those who constantly need to be ordered and directed, since those will never progress if she isn't constantly "piloting them" basically.
Left chick is femMC alterego after third evo. Well, probably not, but i can dream. And indeed she looks like monster humanoids that i got when messed with different models in SD and Midjourney.
WeirdWorld was bound to better their style at some point.
We have been conditioned playing a certain style of art/render.... yet here we are.
I got hooked up instantly by music and overall atmosphere it created for everything else. Seriously, people in game/film industry don't pay enough attention to soundtrack and sound design nowadays and mostly simply stick to established templates, but when they do it right even mediocre things start to shine. At least for me.
I didn't mind the art at the start, but it sure grew on me as the game progressed. In general I think the story and the characters make up for the art at the start, if you do dislike it. The new art is also incredible and just generally better in my opinion, with Valravn fight being a prime example of that.
