likely all important characters will be handled by the internal team/freelancers in Japan.
lakshyia digital was hired because there are so many characters they need to work on so they need to assign some of the job to them so that the main team can focus on what's important also it's cheaper and more efficient this way. no offence to the team but this is how usually these kind of contracts works for other projects within the industry and this the reason why such teams exist in the first place... they fit the bill for the kind of tasks they are hired for.
meaning if you have to classify the characters from high importance to > low importance
A > B > C > D
A&B characters will be dealt with in utmost care internally and with expert freelancers.
C&D characters will be dealt with using Lakshiya Digital resources. (and maybe other unannounced parties)
something like this.
How do you know Lakshya Digital has nothing to do with those?
The Temple Maid has been revealed with the Kickstarter update #77, the one that made public the deal with Lakshya Digital studios. It's fair to assume that they have something to do with that model.
I can't tell for sure about the old man and the little girl of course, but there's some level of detail and polishing in those 3 models that I didn't notice before the deal.
By the way, I'm not saying that Lakshya builds those models from scratch. As far as I know (we know) every model comes from Yu Suzuki's mind and every model has to be approved by him. The design and art direction of the models are and will always be YsNet job. They have regular meetings (video conference I guess) with Lakshya to review progress and give directions. By the way, Lakshya isn't a rock bottom studio. They have experience and talented people. It would be wrong to consider them nothing more than a second class studio.
the 3D base model of the lady exist way before the announcement of Lackshya's partnership with a bunch of other models
of course this is not the reason why i am suspecting lakshya's involvement for the modeling of any of the important characters.
the reason is just as i said above those studios prime business is to provide cheap services for other companies/studios.
usually you wont find the best artists working with a cheap service provider but in a big companies or carrying on their own ambition as independent developer seeking for fund or support or if they are good enough they can work as freelancers.. the last thing they would think about is joining a service provider company.
again no offence but trying to make sense of this from a business standpoint.
i am not saying those artists working with lakshya has no talents whats so ever of course they do have some certain degree of that.. but again just serviceable for the kind of tasks they are hired for. (usually the least important tasks)
