On the topic of art style- I wanna mention Zoe. God damn her 4th and 5th star poses are disgusting. That shit will follow me into my nightmares. Pelagie 4th and 5th star arent on that level of bad, but definitely close to Zoe level, and Bonnie 4th and 5th star I actually quite liked, even if it was clearly in a different style. Personally I dont mind the art style changes in general, as they go along in the future undoubtedly their craft will change over the years- but if you make such changes, don't contrast them with an older girl like Bonnie/Zoe/Pelagie, because thats how you make EVERYONE notice. (Also since I forgot Sylvia- I dont understand what happened to her skin, did she take on the colour of the tree? Did she get a tan, wtf is going on there?) So since there will be changes, at least make them gradual, and don't make them changes for the worse! I still prefer the old style more, and I didnt see anything wrong with Natasha at first (and since I didnt get her I didn't memorize her), but upon looking at some examples here and contrasting her with other girls makes me think I dodged a fucking bullet there. As for some feedback about the new art style- it looks plain and flat as all hell, shading is gone, details are gone, lines are gone, and it just straight up looks like nightmare fuel when compared to what we had before. I don't mind stronger colours, but stronger colours along with all of that I've just mentioned just make the new girls look like unfinished blots of ink on paper, and that's a shame considering what we've had thus far...To give an example of what type of style I've absolutely loved- we have Petal from that one event I forgot its name now, and if you take her and compare her with things like Natasha... I mean god damn.
As a last note- Val Kalissa for me looks like a first hint/start of this type of flatness, dear lord just looking at her 1st picture/pose from when she was available in the event- it made me not wanna get her, and from her onward we only got worse- so I believe this has been going on for a while.
