the birth of venus reimagination looks clearly inspired but the first one doesn't as much. i speedrun my playthrough so i didnt see that the background paintings had this much detail, it's very good stuff.
I have added previews of the originals to my original post, so everyone can compare.
I was indeed wrong about the first one, it is actually inspired by a painting from Rubens.

And I totally agree with you, this game has amazing background art! I only really noticed it on my recent (3rd) playthrough.

I'd think that any artist worth a damn would without a doubt be a fan, to put it mildly, of the single greatest moment in history when it comes to Art.
It peaked then, and we haven't come close ever since. Some would probably say that we're straying even further from the apex nowadays, and I would have to agree in a general way (thankfully we are still gifted with a few pristine gems from time to time).
I blame Picasso for making it okay for 'artists' to not be able to make the images they paint and draw look anything like how the models for the images actually appear. Just imagine if people really looked the way he painted them to look. Nowadays you don't even have to be able to make your 'art' look like anything at all, just tell those that don't like it that they aren't smart enough to understand it and those desperate enough to fit in with the crowd they want to fit in with will go along with anything to be accepted.

That has nothing to do with Picasso (though I personally do not care for cubism at all), and everything to do with the art market and the rise of art dealers as the driving force behind general perception and consumption of art.

I guess the cancer of postmodernism played a part too.

Just the constant whiners about when the next release is coming. People bitching about a free game taking so long. It just never really felt like it was a place for any kind of actual discussion just an influx of people that just want to complain.

This is my favorite NSFW game...honestly would still like it if it doesn't have porn it in!
A lot of work goes into making a game like this when it comes to art, no wonder it takes the devs long...

A little digest of what the percentage progress of total content has looked like over the past few months:
26.02.2022 - 69.6%
5.03.2022 - 73.8%
12.03.2022 - 76.6%
19.03.2022 - 79.3%
26.03.2022 - 81.8%
2.04.2022 - 83.9%
9.04.2022 - 86.1%
16.04.2022 - 88.3%
23.04.2022 - 90.6%
30.04.2022 - 92.5%
08.05.2022 - 94.0%
15.05.2022 - 95.9%
22.05.2022 - 97.9%

And this is what the progress of total polish looked like over the past month:
30.04.2022 - 91%
08.05.2022 - 90,6%
15.05.2022 - 90,5%
22.05.2022 - 86,4%
I personally get the impression that the closer we get to the new update, the more impatient players get.

that later/present postmodernism has along with the market got messed up by people selling crappy and/or hired to make crappy art(subjectivity of art) and dealers/"agents" trying to or succeeding to trick people in to thinking that some art piece is amazing;may general feel is that there should be less art galleries(unless the artist(s)is paying for it)and installations

I remember complaining that a blank canvas got sold for a ludicrous amount and an "artist" told me I just don't understand it, you need to read the description. I dunno, In my humble opinion the art should speak for itself. If I need to listen to a lecture while looking at a picture to understand or feel it, I won't consider it good, especially if it is obvious low effort. Tho I can still appreciate the work someone did on a piece that obviously took long hard work to make, even if it isn't to my taste. Anyway, whoever buys a blue canvas with a white line through the middle for 44 million dollars is either laundering money or an idiot.

The point that you really nailed there, especially in regards to the blank canvas or banana canvas artwork, is a lot of the high end art world (and the value associated with the art works) is a money laundering scheme. In a lot of cases "overinflated" art prices are actually just a way of moving money from point A to point B while keeping the facade of legitimacy. It's not about arts objective or even subjective quality or value, it's about circumventing tax and law entities.





And that's just results from a cursory google search.

I was thinking about getting the art investment account that is being shilled on YouTube currently. (Masterworks).
It does seem like a good investment...BUT when there is an actually recession it is more likely to loose money.
During the last global financial crisis the first assets people tried to get rid off where art pieces and their value crashed hard. The only ones who made any money of it where
the dealers and banks who bought them for peanuts and resold them again when the economy was doing well again.
So it's only a good investment when you are in the middle of a recession and you should get rid of them as soon as the economy is doing well again. Shares and other assets can crash as well, but unless the economy crashes so hard that you need to exchange Vodka and Cigarettes for bread, they are still a more stable investment then art. At least from what I have seen, I'm not an expert.
