I’m pretty curious about the studio approval process too, just given my experiences.
Predator is being launched tomorrow, and as the artist for that I’m a little hesitant to be overly personal in my thoughts about the other games out now.
I don’t personally use generative AI in my work, and I’m not a fan of it in general.
I’m uh, not a JK Rowling supporter. Nothing personal towards JJP, I just won’t be putting money in a machine she’s involved with since she uses her money to support causes I have strong disagreements with.
I’m not really interested in picking sides though, I’m for any and all cool pinball, from any company. I’ve said nice things about Dune and King Kong, they both look cool, I’m looking forward to getting the play them at some point.
I will say that Disney went over all the Predator art closely, asked for changes to poses even, and were way more involved than it feels like this got. My experience with them has been that they go over everything with the level of analysis this thread has seen.
I can’t see them approving art with the wrong number of fingers. Not that I would ever submit that.
