Honestly, I completely agree with this. I appreciate that they’re trying to incorporate their own art, but it just isn’t it right now. The new art really just lacks personality, it looks very bland and generally comes off as goofy. The characters look overly cartoony and not in a good way especially considering that most of the game has a semi-realistic anime style. Unless they plan to overhaul the art across the entire game, it just doesn’t fit aesthetically as things stand. I honestly hope they don't though cause it really is not great the art they already have I feel like needs massive rework.
I guess I should clarify I'm mostly referring to the Lion, Fox, and Wolf right now. I didn't really get a good look at the cow or shark. Also I wouldn't mind if they do a revamp for all the art it's just I would prefer more content then art updates right now.
