I somewhat agree. The art could definitely use some work (aka, the colour choices.) it’s alright if the art style isn’t good because the plot can make the viewers more interested. Though, I think it would’ve been nice to have dresses that match with her jewellery, complimenting her skin tone and hair colour.
Maybe the art lacks highlights? I see the first base colour, 2nd base and a shader. But the highlights could make it more appealing/pleasing to the eye. The MCs hair is pretty simple and straight, I think adding more volume to her hair, highlights, or even making her have different hair styles would be better? I noticed that their arms are pretty straight and slightly curvy, it almost looks wrong in a way? If the drawer took more time leavening anatomy, her body won’t look so ‘wonky’ or ‘weird’. I admit, I loved it when her expressions turn more sinister, but it wouldn’t hurt to add even MORE. Making the MC have a disgustingly evil face will really make her seem powerful. The usual expressions are somewhat stiff?
Oh yes I deff agree with you on the color choices part. Because the artist isn't trying to go for that vibrant look, they should at least try to Accentuate that muted atmosphere with deep colors. Or they could even do it as the story progress as a way to stablish a serious atmosphere. (Anyway I just woke up and my mind is going rampant sorry for the long reply)
The artists is using assets that look far to realistic for their artstyle, and doesnt even try to make them fit in. Look at that tea set or the mask in the previous chapters.
And no matter how beautiful the characters say an outfit is it is always dissapointing to see the final product. I know that last time i said i was going to drop it if it kept going on like this, but i have decided to stop looking at the story (which is boring anyway ) and just give constructive criticism on the art.
