Unspecifically and lazily,
I hate tumblr and calarts and whatever shit like this is called.
It could be an association thing where I know if something looks like this it's garbage or there's a really annoying person behind it.
But it just looks annoying and shitty to me.
The stupid blush on the nose, fingers, elbows, etc.
Characters with very specific ugly features or blemishes that they all copy and use over and over. Etc etc.

It's funny how whenever this sort of "art" appears on my xitter timeline I can with 100% accuracy predict that the "artist" has "13 |autistic|bi|she/her |BLM ACAB| communist | mario, sonic, undertale | MINORS DNI" in the bio. Makes me wonder if they're all sourcing from some playbook or a YT tutorial.

I'll start by posting the gallery of the Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) for anyone who needs a good chuckle. Post your favorite paintings from there if you want. Here's a taste:

Check out the American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM). It has art primarily from self-taught artists, mentally ill, schizophrenics, criminals, and BlaX. Some of it is amazing, like model ships made of toothpicks and Ingo Swann's stuff, other pieces are not so good.

Lmao who the fuck would want to generate that to begin with. Besides, it's so simple, easy to mimic and devoid of stylistic rules that a lot of the corporate art you see now is actually made by AI, and it's impossible to tell apart.

@MS Paint Gigachad

Actually it was other users who generated Corporate Memphis AI art here:

I can't laugh too much at those as they're still more competent-looking faces than what I can draw. Frankly that second one doesn't even look that bad aside from the lady's tard face.

A couple of Pixar films having a style that I can best describe as “3D Calarts”. The worst offenders imo are Elemental and Turning Red.

I don’t care how “relatable” or “wholesome” the internet says these films are, the art style alone puts me off completely. Every time I see that water guy I just want him to evaporate.

I watched some movie clips from Elemental and the characters are so damn ugly. They're all some variety of potato-faced blob, especially the main water guy.

I'm not an illustrator by any means, but the little basic I know when designing a character for a project is this: Can a toddler draw the characteristics of said character? If not, it's back to the conceptboard and redo the whole thing. If you can't start to recognize the character with just a few pencil strokes, just stop!

Non of these characters stands out, fucking hell, it's unironically indistinguishable from AI generated images. I'm pretty sure major studios have used some closed doors/in house generators for their projects the last decade since they all looks so similar. It went from just to save time on background characters to using this on the main characters of the film.

I actually kind of like the bad examples, they're fascinatingly demented.
Ironically I don't like Picasso all that much.

Nigga Picasso made this at age 15


There was literally no way for him to improve anymore, so he went stylized. I'm not a fan neither but damn, he essentially reached level 100 before becoming an adult. He understood depth, perspective, shading, colour and other fundamentals long before he'd be allowed to drink.

Peope ITT misunderstand art and style. Sure many of them flat out suck. Deviantart users ape manga without a foundation so they end with that "almost but uglier" manga style. Modern artists are often rich kids that get into art school through connections, rather than skill and desire for improving, combined with the "white washing" theory, it means modern art is soulless and pointless.

But many other artists stylize their art for the purpose of symbolism, meaning or simply because they find their style. Others are simply not great artists, which doesn't make me want to hate their art but give feedback and hope they improve. Art is about expression, not perfection. No artists starts perfect.

How many people itt actually make art themself? Not many I presume.

And yes, CalArts and Memphis are insanely ugly artstyles, I agree on that.

 

[Sperghetti]

Art can be a tool for more than that, from emotional experience relation, to relaxation, to showcasing tragedies and the ugly side of humanity, to shitposting.

Just wanted to say that Bosch is the best. The Garden of Earthly Delights is like Where's Waldo on LSD.

Oh god, the Frida Kahlo worship gets under my skin. The current crop of art school feminist types just like how she looks, not how her work looks. Notice how they're never into, say, Georgia O'Keeffe? Probably because you couldn't pick her out of a crowd. (Despite her paintings being immediately recognizable.)

I agree. I think Picasso was a fantastic artist. I just don't like his more stylistic, abstract art. It isn't something I can express in an intellectual fashion, I just went to a Picasso exhibit once and was unimpressed.

As an aside, I like following artists who aren't technically skilled but creative and are trying to improve. They remind me of young me and it is fun watching someone's skills evolve.

I can speak for myself and say I do, but I feel that there should be a place where those who don't can stil bitch that something is ugly, even if it is for reasons we disagree with - and then we can make post justifying our side like this and have interesting discussions. Being able to just say "goddamn this is fucking ugly" to a room of people is still nice.

Some of his abstract art I like in his earlier abstract days, but his later period I rather just look at underground comixs for that style done right imo.

Notice how they're never into, say, Georgia O'Keeffe? Probably because you couldn't pick her out of a crowd. (Despite her paintings being immediately recognizable.)

Apparently there's an entire debacle around owning her rights and her likeness. She's become an icon more than an artist, a famous unconventional beauty who liked women's rights and communism and did art and was a minority and what have you. It's not Kahlo as a person. She has some really interesting diaries and personal art she didn't share as much that depicts her struggle with actual deep topics like the bus accident that made her disabled and in constant pain, but her image is what is attractive to people, not her thoughts, which fucking sucks.

Reminds me of Rob Liefeld.
He was already a comic book pro by the age of 19, he was drawing stuff like this

then he decided to go full stylization and did this

People will never forget nor forgive him for that drawing.

I avoided Elemental for a while because Wade and Ember were nauseating to look at in motion. Their parts were moving so often I thought I was going to get motion sickness. Also I'll never watch Turning Red because all I can see is that Grubhub commercial. Not the best way to show a girl starting puberty.

Edit: People went over CalArts and Tumblr style already, so I'll mention Pendleton Ward. His illustrations are technically competent, but Adventure Time's style had something off about the characters. When people try to draw them "sexy" they often leave the simplified heads and faces in to keep them recognizable. The parts don't "mesh" and it just looks wrong.

Spoiler: Ass fanart

Canonically Fionna looks like this.

And that's when Finn and Jake look like this.

The environments are nice. It's just that the characters are obnoxious to look at. The best way I can explain it is the Grubhub commercial but so oversimplified it's patronizing. Maybe it's because there's more effort put into the environments so it looks off by comparison.

 

[Niggs Monaghan]

As someone very into art who can make art, the argument that you need to be the greatest artist, or even an artist at all to express your opinion on art is retarded.
Don't let nerds tell you that shit.
They'll criticize art too, it's literally just that you're criticizing something they in particular like so they get butthurt about it and pretend they're high and mighty and never do it.
It's gay.

Culture Warriors have no sense of subtlety at all. It's why all their media ends up as forgettable goyslop. They completely fore-go any good story telling or subtle messaging in favor of "owning™" the other side.

I find drawings of this type ugly to look at. How do you have the ability to draw armor so well but you completely ruin it with the anatomy. What I hate most are the small anime girl heads without any details with a totally deformed body, try to be realistic

This artist is a similar case to the one above, but has more anatomical understanding. They both seem to make a generic anime girl face design and paste it onto an existing character.

The focus is different. You know how you can tell what fetishes artists have based on what they emphasize, or what they "empathize with" more, like with RCD's cat picture? Anatomy is less interesting to people like that than sick armor. Anime heads are more appealing, more aesthetic to them, regardless of how much they clash with everything else. But yes it's more advanced Adventure Time porn. It's even more incongruent the contrast is that stark; the pieces don't complement each other. It's the equivalent to covering a coffee-crusted steak with melted marshmallows.

Disclaimer: I'm sorry for what I'm about to show you. I truly am.

There is a porn artist called Fellatrix that I saw in Twitter a couple of weeks ago, it appeared in recommendated posts while looking for Doobus Goobus posts for my thread. One look at the Twitter on this guy or woman and... yeah, just the single worst fucking drawings I've ever seen, and I'm putting it as an understatement. The thing is when you see the SFW art, it looks kind of good, a little exaggerated in the proportions maybe but the characters look nice and considering that is an adult account it's probably the best you can come off with when refering to body parts.



The main problem with the artist is... well, the other content.

I don't know what kind of people would get off at this type of artstyle, and truly I don't want to know, but he has an extremely raunchy, disgusting and nauseating way of drawing porn. The anatomy of the drawings sucks, the overly-detailed faces gives uncanny vibes, horribly exaggerated boobs and ass to his characters and overall a fucking disgusting experience. One of the most grossly grotesque artstyles and/or artists I've ever seen.

And of course, the fucking creep draws loli and shota (It's okay, though! She puts in the description that all characters are over 18!) She has an habit to draw women with horses, and sometimes the two of them at the same time, in some of the worst situations you can imagine the drawings be in. So yeah, fuck this piece of shit artist and whatever the fuck he does and hope the doxing comes at full force.

I'll post the "safer" content, but beware. just seeing one of the drawing you'll see what I'm talking about. I do not recommend watching the other works, you will regret it.

Spoiler: NSFL, you don't want to click here.

Spoiler: Are you sure you want to do this? Final warning

Spoiler: Abandon all hope...

The way this artist draws makes even kissing look extremely disgusting. Just what the hell is this?

Just what the FUCK IS THIS?!

Probably one of the worst aspects of this artist is how it draws "ahegao". It just adds the gross aspect of the art to a tee.

Even the grandmas aren't safe.

Also, another thing to be the cherry of the shit cake? There is a NSFW "taboo" artist who did a cosplay while pregnant of one of the characters of Fellatrix who was pregnant too and posted it in full view on her Twitter, in which Fellatrix retweeted it, in which I will NOT post here, thank you very much, I think you have the idea by now.

In my opinion, if there's a way to describe this, I would say that this is the artistic version of porn brainrot at the terminal fucking stage. If you even call it that. Because you must be a grossly sick in the head convicted sex offender to even find this type of art style even amusing.

I'm gonna take a shower after posting this and possibly throw ashes all over me and confess my sins.
