why do they look like they were generated by stable diffusion?

Ugly and the game is otome. No thanks.
No.2149
>>2147Honestly this is my main gripe about the game. The designs come off as computer generated to me. I'm not a good enough artist to know why I feel this way but I do.
No.2150
personal sperg alert but I wish this art style would die. Their jaws and faces are too tiny for their necks it looks ridiculous. Guy from the far left looks bloated it's disgusting. These kind of artists can't draw men to save their lives, why are the styles for these otomes always so fucking garbage?
No.2151
super ghetto game that I wouldn't dream of spending money on. will likely be kill in a couple months, the rushed launch gave me the impression that they were desperate to get it out before they ran out of funds.
>>2149have they announced which artists worked on the game? they use AI art for most backgrounds and deepl to translate, it wouldn't be a stretch to think some of the character art is AI touchups.
No.2152
Never heard of this game but the themeing is cool I like demon boys not really interested in mobile games though.
>>2151I don't think it looks AI at least not the portraits, AI notoriously struggles with things like jewelry and small details and the character art looks OK I'm that regards. Agree second boy in OPs image gives off that vibe though

>>2149>I'm not a good enough artist to know why I feel this way but I do.me neither
i thought it could be the way the lighting is done, but
>>2150 made me realize its actually the weird way they draw faces
one thing i noticed with stable diffusion is that it seems to only be able to draw one type of face
that exact same type with a small head, soft features and most noticeably: a V-shaped chin
im p sure its mainly the face thats giving these AI vibes
none of the guys have a square chin or a butt chin, the artist suffers from SFS (same face syndrome, can only draw one type of face) (sadly many such cases)
although the pic on
>>2152 looks more humanmade, so i think that yea the light also plays a big role bc the 2nd pic of
>>2146 just screams ARTIFICIAL to me
No.2154
>>2147>>2149>>2151The illustrations look very much like touched up AI in my opinion, the difference in aesthetics to the actual in-game graphics is staggering. It's otome and not BL so I'm not interested to begin with but from an outsider's perspective it feels like either a half-assed scam or just a genuinely incompetent dev team that saw what Nu Carnival was doing and decided to go even further relying on shock value (the demons having masochistic fetishes and their fucking mental illnesses listed). But like
>>2151 aptly described, it looks very ghetto.

>>2155The backgrounds at least are 100% stable diffusion generated. The rest look like someone fed Sakimichan's entire portfolio (complete with her broken anatomy) into an AI and just redrew the faces and some identifying details on them, maybe tweaked the hair a bit. Where's his dick and balls in the first one? Why does the foot look so weird and disjointed? The third one looks the most genuine because the skin doesn't look like oiled rubber with excessive bloom effects.

No.2173
>>2172pretty rendering can't hide hideous anatomy and proportions lmfao. Render away all you want, but if your anatomy is trash, if your gestual drawing skills are trash, if your facial expressions are unexpressive as fuck, and you can't make males look masculine, then I simply don't give a shit.
No.2174
>>2173bruh just say you don't like the art style and that's it lol, you are acting as if this artist just barely grabbed a pen and started drawing yesterday. Yeah they are not perfect but they are clearly skilled and seems like a lot of people like what they do. This just reads as very salty at this point

>>2166maybe its (You) who lacks the schizophrenia needed to recognize an artstyle at a glance
here are a few pictures generated by stable diffusion
yea the faces are a bit different (bc at least the literal machine puts a semblance of a soul behind the eyes it generates)
but see how it makes the lighting
basically the same obnoxious way
why so much shading on an anime pic? thats what makes it look uncanny
No.2180
>>2179>basically the same obnoxious wayI agree. But people like muh sparkly rendering so much it makes them tolerant of mediocre-to-awful fundamentals. Shiny effects are easy to consume on social media, and it distracts the untrained eye from anatomical hiccups. It's why we got people whiteknighting generic blorbos with shrinked heads.
No.2181
>>2166>>2168I was one of the first anons who brought it up and my art is fine, rendermax-chan. these are the type of people AI pulls from, its creations are indistinguishable from theirs because their anatomy is as bad as it's fuck ups due to being made a retarded computer. why don't you post your art? well rendered but ugly base art looks terrible to me as an artist even if it looks impressive to normies, it's something I strive to avoid. sakimichan and japanese sakimichan can go fuck themselves.
No.2182
>sakimichan
what i hate the most about the artstyle is the eyes
its just… idk, it lacks LIFE, you know?
like there is no light coming out of those dead sockets
they are shaded like they are also made of skin or something
there is no sparkle of a soul behind them
they are looking, but are they seeing anything?

>>2184what moid disagrees with that? it's never women who eat this hyper realistic oily sweaty human skin with shitty anime face art up, it's always men because they see with their dicks and have no grasp on female anatomy to begin with. if this was a horny waifu game it wouldn't be getting half the amount of criticism from its target demographic it's getting as a husbando game.
the appeal of sovlless "I have a patreon" hentai art is on life support now that AI does the same exact thing but better at the touch of a button, and with no patreon or commission paypigging required. these artists now have to sit and watch people take screenshots of their retard anatomy like

I've decided Gusion and Dantalion are the two best characters here, may many arists make yaoi of them. Looks like there is some official manga? Might try to track that down, I really have no interest in mobile games, but the premise is intriguing.
>>2155Late as hell, but it reminds me of a buff Kawacy to be honest, mainly the colors. Still maintain that it's drawn by hand because of all the consistent small details. I agree that the anatomy throws me off and isn't appealing even if it's well rendered. I like who ever is doing the basic character portraits way better. Bimet here
>>2146is cuter than all the sexually charged images.

>>2184What appeal? There's no personality in any of these designs, and I say that as someone who loves demon boys. I guess I don't like generic otome art style anyway, but there are unironically better monsterboys in games targeted at children like Yokai Watch.
No.2207
I don't wanna criticize the games art unfairly because I just want good games for straight an bi women, but some of the poses look seriously weird to me. Like the art is overrendered in some places (meaning that there will be more shadows and highlights placed in the art), so if the pose is off, it looks way more obvious than in "cartoony" art. I sometimes feel like I miss the days of really simple/not as rendered art from game companies. Like even though there's wack ass poses in anime, it won't stand out as much because it's not meant to be realistic.

>>2215It's an otome. Good luck finding any BL when it's going to be dominated by psycho yumes who don't want to see their husband with another man.
