New Art! New Artist!
NSFW ARTWORK BELOW!
I've patched in another new CG for the game in the bonus download folder I posted last time, this time it's for the scene with Cassandra in the fifth dungeon, where Angelica has gotten her stuck through a wall, with only her ass on display. (And a picture of her face.) If you download the patch you can view the scene now, and if you've finished the fifth dungeon you can also access it from the scene reviewer.
This CG set is from a new artist, so I also wanted to do a poll to see how you all feel about their art. There are quite a few variations for the scene, so to simplify things I'm only posting three of them below. If you want to see the artwork in game first, don't click show more!
Edit: Patreon seems to resize images that you add into the body of a post, so I'm also attaching the images in the resolution you'll view them in-game.
As for the poll itself, simply rate the artwork above from 1-5. If you have any specific feedback, feel free to comment that. Thank you!

I think it might be a good idea to get the artist to try and fix up all the problems that are rather obvious(if they can that is) and host a new poll with the fixed artwork
That's the plan at the moment. Fix up the face (as it seems that's where most of the issues are) and setting up a second poll. I'll probably post the images separately for that, as if I do an "Image" post then I can actually put in larger files. I just can't have full size images and a poll together, for some reason.
I absolutely abhor saying something is bad without the "why" or what to do about it. I still suck at point number 2, but I think the real problem is the face proportions and shading. I also don't know what is going on in the crotch; that vertical pink bar grabs your attention, then you wonder what disease made the spots on the sack.
There's definitely issues with the face proportions, so I'm going to ask the artist to fix that up a bit. I think there the main issue is that it's quite long. The forehead could be shrunk, and the gap between the mouth and nose should probably be smaller. And the eyes, mouth and nose could be a bigger. A more detailed nose might help as well, as currently it's very slight. For the shading, is there anything in particular you dislike, or do you just find it bad in general? And is that for the shading on the face, or the shading overall? As for the vertical pink bar, I believe you're referring to what is supposed to be a sticker covering her vagina. You could search "maebari' on rule34 or something for more examples. And assuming the spots you are referring to are the white ones, those are white lipstick marks from Angelica teasing Cassandra. This might just be me trying to interpret your feedback optimistically, but it sounds like part of the problem is just the tiny resolution Patreon has forced on me here, because I quite like how both the vagina sticker and the lipstick marks look, but they become a bit small and hard to make out with the smaller image size. The only way I can seem to have it be the full size aside from attaching a download link would be to make an image post above the poll. Maybe I'll do that when I post the art with some touch ups. Thank you for your feedback!
I like this art less the than the original art but as long as it was used for new characters with no existing art I would not have a problem with it. However the style is different enough that I am not sure I would recognize an existing character redrawn in this style.
1. The faces are terrible compared to previous artwork like rather atrocious. 2. What happened to the previous artist? They produced high quality images, are they dead or have they quit making art whether that be in general or just anything pornographic? 3. I hope that's not the max resolution for the artwork provided because that says even worse things about this new artist beside the fact they need at least a year of dedicated practice on faces 4. As far as the overall quality of the art when compared to previous art work I would personally give it 3/10 would not recommend. In a vacuum/without anything to compare it to I would rate it 4/10 or 5/10 very underwhelming/middle of the road.
1. The face is definitely the worst part of the artwork, I agree. 2. Nothing has happened to the previous artist, they are still doing commissions for the game. This would be an additional artist, because I write new scenes far faster than I am able to commission them from a singular artist. 3. It's not the maximum resolution. In fact, it appears to be smaller than the images I tried to upload? I'm not sure what's going on here, but even when I tried to edit the post and re-upload the images, they are still smaller than it should be. I uploaded the in-game version of the images, which is 1280 x 720, but for some reason it shrank to 820 x 461? The full size of the image is 2560 x 1440. 4. While I don't want to artificially inflate the results, I would prefer ratings to be considered in a vacuum, not in comparison to other in-game art. Primarily because this would just be extra artwork for the game. Getting art from this artist would not slow art being commissioned from the previous artist. Thank you for the feedback!
