Hi! Yes, I was indeed inspired by the game *FREECARDWARE*, but only to a small extent, specifically by the look of the space within the battle scene.
I’m also the sole artist on this project, and I’ve never used AI to generate images or textures (in fact, I generally disapprove of using AI to create visuals).
I actually spent a huge amount of time drawing everything, creating the 3D models, animating them, and ensuring a cohesive style.
