the yellow tint, shading and very very realistic lighting is what threw me off, sorry
No worries, I do absolutely see and agree how it does share the same “soulless” feeling to an AI picture, as all the textures and filters turn it into random noise and remove the character and charisma you get when drawing everything by hand.
I just wanted to experiment with this style for a game jam. Perhaps in the future it’s better to stick to the normal shaded pixelart, we’ll see.
