Prefer previous art styles

Like the title says. The art styles of the previous games was much better, fit the themes of the world better. The character art is too clean and leans a bit cartoonish. The whole mood of the story plus the music makes the art style feel out of place.

The backgrounds aren't bad, but it does look like they used AI to make a first sketch, before going over it by hand. They've said there was no AI usage, but character portraits look somewhat off-putting in my opinion.

The art in the second game was more "wispy" and shadowed, probably to fit the Lasombra aesthetic. Something definitely feels like it's stylistically missing in this chapter.

Show me a definitive concrete list we can follow to determine what is, or is not, ai manipulated art. 10 steps, 50 steps, one step. Whatever it takes.

I have to agree I much preferred the art style of Coteries and Shadows more. This one isn't bad, but the other two felt like they had more stylistic charm that fit VtM more.
