Well... That remains to be seen... Especially since it's someone else's art, I try to withhold critical judgement until I've seen it myself and formed my own opinion on the matter.
That being said, I think we can both agree that the sprites needed a rework. Especially considering how far HQ has come since his most current iteration, I think he deserves to fix what he sees as mistakes in the sprites or things he could've done better to be more in line with how he sees the characters he's drawing.
Finally, everything changes. This is an ever evolving project, who knows what they'll look like next year or the year after that. The creators are still making the project. Nothing is set in stone. But, to condemn someone else's art to being, "generic furry porn vn where everyone is buff," material is...I don't know... I'm an artist and I think that would bother me if I had seen it.
Like I said, I'll reserve judgement.
