@ButtWorldsMan I'm pleased that you too have found the anthro setting to be an improvement in terms of style, regardless of the mechanism(s) used to produce the effect.
@DoubleD I don't know if you PC gamer master race, but the problem with the anthro style is that bright settings become too bright and have the illusion of being blindingly bright. It's like turning on bloom in PC games. Depending on the game, bloom can turn a light from being a basic source of light, to something that exudes brightness and is difficult to look directly into without discomfort. Note the office pic. Good lighting. The outside pics have very powerful bloom effects. Not comfy.
@DoubleD in anime age is dependent on how large the eyes are, how round the eyes are, the surface area of the forehead. Generally. But that's just the face. The rest of the age is shown through body type. I've seen the anthro style change her height around, so that might be why you're sensing age changes.
@ButtWorldsMan These images demonstrate a series of variation I've seen with the AI: Do some images give you the impression that the female depicted is of different ages? Some teenage, others mid-20's, while others an almost 30's female? I believe it is subtle changes in the eye size as well as the size of the head compared to the torso size, regardless of breast size to modify the impression of neoteny.
