The art is ai generated, but I also disagree that it is "stolen" from artists. The program doesn't borrow and combine, it learns from the art like humans do if they learn to draw (just 1000x faster). Artists don't credit the art they used to learn or where they got their style from either. Also most artists use or will use ai with photoshop etc. soon. And everyone who won't, will just be behind technology and slower (like still using a quill and ink instead of a bullet pen).
Anyhow, there are downsides to ai (consistency and other limitations) that having an artist could solve but I will not be able to hire someone for a long time and the development would be 10x slower with an artist drawing every piece, but maybe it will be redrawn one day. But thank you for your feedback!

PS: I personally prefer good looking boobs over shitty looking ones ;)

"ai" art has existed in the form of "generative art" for a while now. It's just a rebrand. It's artificial, but about as Intelligent as fishing with dynamite. You get out of it what you put into it. So your enjoyment in "creating" the art is relative to your proximity of creating the actual algorithms, nuetral nets, programs, whatever you want to call the black box that generate the art that you claim to have guided into existence. I guarantee you that if you knew how it felt to make something worth making you would think you are cheating yourself of the enjoyment in creating art. I know because I've been there, and now I'm not.

Furthermore, artists talk about who they like all the time. and you can usually find out where they went to school or who they got it from. Either in a documentary, on their social media, or historically in letters that you can sometimes find In art history books. Some movements have a manifesto with signatures of working artists of the time and you can put them in the same sphere of influence in that was. But I guess you just aren't tapped in like that. Which is fine, just don't speak as the authority on it. 

It's a very "idea guy" position to think that you are on the bleeding edge of art and not just hitting "generate" on the anime titties prompt. Go buy a Strathmore Bristol sketchbook and some chalk pastels and see if you can feel something knock loose in you head.

I get enjoyment from creating a game and choosing the visuals supporting it, not from prompting and pressing generate which is more work than pleasure. I used this example not to tell everyone, that I'm "on the bleeding edge of technology" but as example, why I think it is not "stolen" art.
And now you talk about ai as if you know it better and you say: "you get out of it what you put into it". Maybe you should not speak as the authority on it if you don't understand the algorithm behind it ;)
I'm creating a game not the next monalisa and the average player is probably happier about this art, than my bad beginner art with a never finished game.

fair, many people that don't fully understand AI art jump too the conclusion that it has to be stolen mainly because they don't really understand how training AI works as yes it does work off of existing art that you feed it but it only trains too understand said art so that it learns and creates it's own unique twists, "you want too generate something weird in the style of a famous artist" you can because well an ai can mimic an artstyle it cannot truly completely recreate the original and hence why everything the ai makes is a unique twist. I used to be mixed on AI art but i then i got into the trend myself and formed an understanding towards it that no it's not all stolen as people claim it to be, But Honestly when it comes down to it lot of people are just afraid of AI because they don't understand it which is why it gets lot of outside bad rep..  I know this will get downvoted but i don't care it's the truth.  And ai art is not as easy to make as people claim it to be it's not like you write a few words and click a button often times it is a struggle to get what you actually want so making a game like this must have been tricky especially the transformation sequences... I tried it myself never got the hang of it.
