This is a trend I've noticed with several of the most recently published adventure paths in the Pathfinder AP production line.
The artwork has a more cartoonish style, whereas that used to be a more realistic style in older APs. To me, it feels as if I'm purchasing low quality products these days. I know it shouldn't have to be that way, but this is one of the reasons I play more pfe1 AP's converted to pf2e these days than actual pf2e AP's.
As a reference, I compared the images on pages 4 of Eulogy For Roslar's Coffer and page 116 of Hellbreakers. We see to lighting effects drawn out, I can clearly tell which one had the most amount of effort put into it.

I have to admit that I have kept a much closer eye on Starfinder than Pathfinder over the last 6 months or so, but the Starfinder art team has been absolutely killing it. I also do like the more cartoonish style of Hellbreakers and generally enjoy saying a variety of different approaches. So I respectfully disagree.

Indeed, indeed, I've seen people with different reactions to the new art style. I'll have to accept that some people enjoy it more it seems..
when it comes to APs i think i'm happy so long as its internally consistent stylistically.
For things like Lost Omens etc i think it can be really beneficial to have varied art styles, really get the most out of the diverse backgrounds and experience of contracted artists, especially for culturally inspired depictions.

"The art style has changed" and "the art quality has dropped" are two very different complaints.

True, but the current title is bound to attract more responses :D
I'm very curious toward other people's opinions.
