Hello there!
...and thank you for your response! First let me clarify that I am not a supporter of baseless back pats and pointless praises - your art is seriously good because you're doing your best. The effort and heart you're injecting into your creations is palpable - it is also quite evident in your new comic (I enjoy it quite a lot by the way. Characters feel incredibly natural and I chuckled when Boomer remembered wanking to his high school coach). Your art style may not be as elaborate as for example Darkgem's but it's perfectly suited for a VN like MinoHotel with its multitude of options. Besides, it also has a lot of charm - I can't imagine Asterion looking any different than the form that you have given him. The only thing that I think your sprite art may use is more shadowing to make the characters more pronounced and protuberant.
Like in cursedmarked's EA art. By the way which character did you like the most? Wait, don't tell me! I'll guess and then you can guess my favourite character, alright?
It was Chester, wasn't it?
I'll spare you the effort of guessing - I liked Chester the most myself.
As for the NSFW scenes in MinoHotel and your concerns that the many options that we have in regards to Asterion customization will make an extensive scene an impossible endeavor for a single artist I have a few suggestions. The most obvious one to ignore the side adornments like bracelets and tatoos and only change the fur color when it comes to the scene itself. It could be easily paired with the stripping and foreplay before the scene itself - I'm once again suggesting doing it on the sprite but extended to include the whole body (maybe even allowing the backside view and access). I myself would be more than happy to overlook the lack of apparel in order to enable more options in the intimacy with our moo and I'm pretty sure that it might be the position shared among the supermajority of the fans. The only variables could be fur color, horns and penis type.
Speaking of the rooster in the room - since MC can choose how Asterion looks like would it be plausible for the labirynth to also enable the player to change some of MC's physical attributes? I think it would expand our options nicely and provide a huge addition to our growing relationship with Asterion.
Thanks again for your answer. Your project is the most promising one I've seen for a long time and I eagerly await the next build. I wish all the best to you and everyone involved in the development of this astonishing Visual Novel.
