They're cartoonish, but in a grungy, painted style. One look at the textures can tell you that- they're stylized, but extremely high contrast and detailed for the resolution available, whether it's the greebling on Visor's cybernetics or the cellulite on Lucy's ass. Individual pixel-pushing fills out small patterns and details when needed. Tendons and musculature are raised without losing the realistic texture of flesh and bone. The difference is that upscales like >>6940964 give everything a painterly look and lose a lot of the texture the originals had- individual pixels intended to be used as dithering or details are meshed together as a colored gradient and everything is given broad brush strokes regardless of size or importance, then a generic unsharp mask filter is applied on top.
