My mistake, I had no realized you had an account here.
I'll make that On-Hold, hope you feel better soon and get back to working on the game (or not, just feel better is good enough).

Okay I need some serious feedback.
I'm considering having a new artist take over the sex animations, but I want to get the style right first.
The one on the left is the new style. Please tell me what you do and don't like about it, as well as any suggestions on how it could be improved. Thanks so much and I would very much appreciate all feedback on it.

Thanks for all the great feedback. I hope this will help the artist.
Well, for me pros for V2 are:Actually I was able to get Bebe to go over the new artist's version so they can see how to do it in that style. Hopefully it will help, but I have a feeling that there will be severe stylistic incompatibilities. Work a try though.
1) more defined side ponytail;
2) better neck, as it was mentioned earlier above;
3) visible nipple.
Cons, compared with V1 are:
1) side ponytail is good for this view, when we see Sienna`s right side. Following this logic, we should have different sprite for her left side;
2) I like the wings better in V1;
3) I like em`boobs BIGGER like in V1.
Evething here is just my IMHO.

I agree with everything that was pointed out in Alex's post.
For clarity, if I had to pick one right now, I prefer the v2 standing sprite over v1.
I see your points. The wings in the first version are kinda neat, and her ponytail probably should be on the right side (showing, and not hidden in the background). Her boobs will be variable so I wanted to go with the smallest size first.
These seem fairly minor though, and I think they could be easily fixed before any new animations are worked on. I'm more curious if the new artist can do Kendra in that same stance/style. Should be fairly simple since it's just her hair and wings. I'm skeptical though. I think this artist may be rooted in their own particular style, unable to break away from it even to the point of sabotaging the things that are already good. I think they will overly complicate the colors in Kendra's hair and wings, which will not only NOT match existing animations but would also make future animations with such details more difficult. But we'll see. I'm hopeful, but pessimistically so.

Sounds like you need to articulate those points of concern to your new artist to make sure y'all are on the same page with what's already been established. I mean it's your show after all. Just, y'know, don't be a dick about it when you try to express yourself to someone you're paying to help your project out, but at the same time being clear with what you want. Remember, you're the head honcho, Paladox!I see your points.

Her boobs will be variable so I wanted to go with the smallest size first.

Be kind and manage your team well! Cheers and good luck!
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure there are a few artists who hate me already. xDSounds like you need to articulate those points of concern to your new artist to make sure y'all are on the same page with what's already been established.

I want to see how it goes first before I try to correct them. Hopefully I won't need to.
Alternatively I may go ahead and have them do all the characters in this pose. Even if the style isn't correct it could still help future animators to have decent character references.
Hi, some green bubbles randomly started popping up and draining my health, how did that happen and how do I fix it?
Also I don't get a CG after napping after reading the poem.

I have a great artist working almost nonstop on giving all the walls a more pixel-art friendly makeover.
Also, Bebe just finished Vallerie's portrait (so should have all her expressions soon).
Still lots of characters who need their portraits done (including 2 more party members), but this will be the last of Sienna's kids to get her portrait done. Woot!
As for the sex animations, I've not heard back from the previous artist ever since I asked Bebe to go over the standing pose in her own style. I did find a new artist to start on the animations, but I am probably irritating them a lot so they might be gone as well. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just difficult to work with. >.>;

Clear, concise communication is a one of the core aspects of working on a team. Try to resolve your teamwork issues first, but if certain members of your team can't abide or respect your time, effort, and energy while also being compensated financially, then I'd say drop 'em. Incompetent members or those that are trying to swindle you out of your time and money need to go. Obviously, this doesn't apply to Bebe whose been in your corner for quite a while, or any person that had a legitimate excuse that interfered with getting their respective tasks done while on your team. Otherwise a member who can't even bother to communicate with the project's lead (aka, the boss) because they believe it's not even worth their time needs the boot. Being on a team means that each person needs to be able to work together and communicate with one another and have a good back and forth. Everyone should have some say and you should respect their input even if you disagree. (Unless, of course, you're just simply hiring out "contractors" to do a task for you.) You can't continually put time into them and throwing money at them if it's simply not working out for you or the team. I don't know how your team is made up, or the dynamics and interactions between everyone, or even what their respective roles are and what each member has agreed to do, but as an outsider reading over your post this post represents my take on the matter. Show bad members the door.
Shortly after writing that the latest animator got back to me with some changes.
Hopefully they are going to improve it a lot, but I think it's a good start.

Green bubbles is probably poison or something like that. I suggest checking Sienna's vitals from the menu to see what's wrong, and then using antidotes will clear up most issues and tonics will get her health back up.
As for the other issue I probably messed up something with that event. The animation would be outdated anyway, and I had planned on showing some art that Mavis did. The next release won't have any of that, so I probably won't be fixing it. Here's the art if you want to see:

It's all freelance commissions, even Bebe, but thankfully she hasn't taken a contract or anything that would prevent her from continuing to work with me. <3
I work one-on-one with the artists, either through Discord or email. It can be stressful when I have multiple commissions going on at the same time but it's much preferable to not having any commissions going.
One of the things that irritates me the most is when I see something that I perceive as an obvious flaw, tell them what I want fixed, and the problem persists in their edit. I've wondered about hiring multiple artists to work together on some tasks, but it's my fear that they would simply team up against me. >.>;
