And the frames really don't help the case. While I'm very happy for the artists, I really can't help but be bothered. And my brain is in a way that is hyper-focuses on things that don't fit with the rest, so it really bothers me personally. They don't really fit in with anything else. But the thing is, TS4 has a very distinct style and mostly lacks harsh black outlines in paintings.
Don't get me wrong, the arts are lovely, I think every artist did a great job.* Their respective art styles are great, some more artistic, others just plain adorable. I can't lie, I too think that they don't really fit in the game in terms of style.
