Thank you, I personally prefer art drawn by an actual artist, it would come out cheaper considering how much time I have to spend on SD and photoshop to make these. But unfortunately finding an artist that I can rely on proved impossible.
I like the idea of TTS, my plan however was hiring voice actors once the game gathers a big enough following. It's too early though.

Since I know the reason, let me share it with you: The main hurdle is consistency. AI often generates stunning images, but none of them are consistent with each other, and a game demands a coherent style and often multiple images of the same characters, and since humans are good at spotting inconsistencies in faces and bodies, the results are often too jarring to use.
And thank you for your kind words, your complements mean a lot to me.
