so uh. according to this thread its very possible that Level-5 is using ai art. thats fucking fantastic. thanks guys. definitely not a spit in the face to your fans who've loved you for years for your unique art direction. no. not at all :) /VERY SAR
it doesn't matter if they're "just using it for concept art" or whatever. they're still using it and its fucking gross. As a Yo-Kai Watch fan of almost 10 years now, I am truly disgusted. I hope they recall this decision and go back to using exclusively real artists, or they'll lose a lot of fans (including myself, which would break my heart. I love Level-5 games to death.)
I'm still most likely going to buy Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road and Decapolice when they come out, because most likely if the use of AI in scriptwriting/sidequests is real those will be rewritten in the English localization by actual people. Still doesn't change the concept art thing but i've been hyped for these games for too long to let that ruin it. If it goes any further than that tho, i'm probably going to tap out. Which sucks so much.
This is lazy at best and downright harmful to real artists at worst.
also why would you want it to look more like the anime bro the yo-kai watch anime was ass. thats just me tho askjfhakjhfkjafk
More horses, this time uhhhh part 1 of my video game based skins, this is sort of the bulk of what I make, shout out to everyone who's flirted with me whenever I use Bowser or Sephiroth
Also you're totally free to use any of my skins for inspiration! I'd just prefer you not 100% copying the whole design. You can also ask me on how I did specific details/colors! I just don't think I'll be making tutorial versions of anyone at the moment
Redrawing my LBMR X Decapolice concept, i guess after doing my concept art job for awhile i felt like theres just things that doesn't look as good, and also want to keep the design fundamentals and language in tact from LBMR too!
If oyu want to see my thought process and ramble you can Read More
i realize the essence of Lucy's design is that she has a lot of round features, like circles, i want to bring them back and also making the metal design bits not as detailed and makes more sense? just to give the scifi feel
i also didnt like how she is basically having gym pants and sports shoe. it just does not fit the top where its like causal office wear. It will still be a thin and slim legging though i guess!
still debating a bit more but original Lucy outfit makes her look very formal, like you know she is eager to learn & is serious on it. Wondering now that she is more proficient in work, she is more comfortable to be more casual & let her bubbly personality shine. hence the top

and alfendi! not much change design wise, but big part is lessening the roundness from his original design. This point in time, Placid and Potty reconciled, I feel he doesn't need to be so passive and friendly, he can be confident with his sharp wits and be direct when needed
I was thinking maybe to make his design not be too scifi, I like to think Potty prefers the good ol days, and it reflects in his wear
Has the news that there's going to be a Level-5 Ambassador meeting on August 18th reached Tumblr? That's what some people on twt are saying, anyway.
Probably will not get any info on NWOS, but we might gain some insight from what they say about other games. Like, if Decapolice is close to done, they might start working more on Layton soon.
So I finally decided to post my Decapolice fics of the Carlvard variety (they've been sitting in my drafts for months). This is a collection of drabbles, I'll post the other chapters later!!!
