I don't know what it actually is, but I'd call it cartoon or comic realism.

I'm totally BSing this because I've no idea of what you'd call it (lol) so I'm just gonna list what I know it isn't! I know it isn't photo-realism and I think it's to 'painterly' to be vectored. I'd assume its some sort of realism because it looks 'real' but not 'look out and touch it' real...I'm blabbering lol so I'll leave it at that D:

EDIT: forgot to say I only looked at the pictures lol my computer doesn't like videos at the moment
