Come on, you guys are acting like GGGB Draws everything from scratch itself. It also uses the same technique, and I do not see anything wrong with that.
And about "Lighting and shading are completely ignored"
GGGB ignored it too. This is the whole point of such arts.
And here's the proof
Indeed, the massive fanboyism for Good Girl Gone Bad is reaching new levels. The game is quite repetitive and mediocre now, yet people keep pretending it's ground breaking.
You don't get to trace art from other places and then complain when others do the same. Especially since anatomy and lighting in Good Girl Gone Bad is terrible. The backgrounds are just poorly retouched photos.
Until you brought it up everybody was pretending Good Girl Gone Bad had original art.
This is like complaining that a game is using DAZ assets because another game did it first. Some people are truly delusional about the games they are fanboys of. Funny how the targets of derision are new devs that are learning and barely making any money out of it, yet people who are making thousands and keep churning out a mediocre game (see what happened with Teacher's pets) are protected.
I would love to see constructive criticism instead of people pretending Good Girl Gone Bad didn't use tracing or had lighting.
