You seem to oppose "artist" and "CG for games". Images done by computer are usually called "CGs", they're not obligatory from a game, and some so-called "artists" can make them by themselves. That's nearly the case for everyone, since traditionnal media are greatly forgotten since some years. Plus, (let's say "drawers" instead of "artists", shall we ? I study art and that bothers me a little) to earn money, drawers don't have a lot of choice : chara design, manga, artbooks (which often comes with something else), ...games. Often the same persons will do both, drawings and games (at least I think so). I agree with you though, but I think there are two different causes : first, the medium itself : photoshop is a computer tool, and will create perfect shapes and gradients, where in art you work with the imperfections of your tool. I've thought about it not long ago, and I think you could say that in art you work to remove matter, whereas in infography you work to ADD some. Then, the production style : artworks specifically for ero games are indeed produced "industrially", you often see the exact same drawings with less and less clothes several times in a row. I don't like them either, but I think they're very specific to their domain (I often wonder why they take such a place here in /e/, where there are plenty other sources...), you won't see that in a manga, so that's ok. A drawer will just draw what he wants, just like a mangaka, and spend more time on it. And still, some can be not very gifted or just lack idea of their own. I knew this site you posted, and it's indeed very different than anything I've seen.
