tearzah wouldnt refer to herself as a girl and doesnt talk like that. its likely a fan.
Tearzah constantly refers to herself as a girlfriend, a goth gf, etc etc. She misgenders herself all the time and then wonders why people can't keep her pronouns straight.

I don't understand why she draws the eyes this way on the chibis.
Aren't eyes supposed to be an essential element when drawing a character?
Unless it's in a very minimalistic style i think it looks disturbing, especially when the rest is detailed and shaded.
I always hate how she draws chibi eyes. The eyes look lazily done compared to everything else. It makes her chibis look more like bootleg funko pops.

Tearzah appears to be fucking around with VN maker. (If anyone could add the image that would be great I keep getting an error.) I'm probably late with this one but that post and look she has oc Bailey in just makes him look like pastel goth Kaworu Nagisa.

Tearzah actually has been trying to make a game for a while, but gave up the first try.

At first, Tearzah was going to make a dating sim featuring their OCs. I keep mentioning how funny it is Tearzah hates when people romanticize their OC Bailey when they clearly do it themself, but this is a good example because Bailey was going to be put in this dating sim. I can't find the screenshots from when Tearzah was making the dating sim, unfortunately.

However, I guess now they are making another visual novel featuring their OCs again. I bet it's going to be filled with that sexy abuse Tearzah loves so much.
 
Any of you been folowing Tea for longer? I could have sworn they had old posts dating back to when they were friends with catshops on their blog but when I now check the oldest pagest it just suddenly starts with some fanart as a first post :thinking: There's like, some reblogs but that's it? No real conversation and all. I also regret never saving anything from catshops old tumblr tbh

EDIT

Just stumbled over Tea's youtube account again while watching some videos and I'm slightly chuckling how they whiteout the settings of their brushes so no one can copy them.

She did a pretty crappy job of it tbh. It's the only one where it is whiteout, but the video before and after shows them. Idk if she is dumb thinking "no one else will look at my setting at my other videos if I hide them in this one"
 
sorry if this is off topic but if it helps, im 99.999% sure that splicekid on instagram and tumblr is catshops, though i couldnt find anything relating to tearzah on either one so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so if anyone wants to try digging through his pages for anything tearzah related go ahead

also i find splicekid's art much more tolerable than tearzahs, the colors vary much more and he isnt shitting out the same oc 98% of the time, theres actually some variety lol

Yes, splicekid is catshops. He actually posted many instagram stories before that he doesn't want to be reminded of Tea because they abused him in the past. Sadly I cannot find anything during their time of friendship.
Catshops is actually in some of the callout screenshots as far as I know, like the one where Tea says they will change Ash's size to match the other persons OC(which is Hiro Lykke from catshops/Splicekid) but that's all I can find as He deleted his old tumblr out of fear and remade it after the fallout.

Found one post with an explicit mention (it's a reblog of tearzah's victims testimonies, splicekid only wrote on the tags) and others who aren't so can't say for sure if it's about tearzah or not.

y'all really out here thinking having a discussion about harmful behaviors exhibited by a very popular artist in a fandom that is populated by a LOT of kids is “tearing each other down” and just because “they’re in the spotlight”?? criticizing an adult artist for creating content that is harmful and toxic is not petty, it is needed in order to stress the importance of cutting down on racism, pedophilia, and sexualization in a fandom that is, again, populated by a lot of young kids. but that’s just my two cents i suppose

Getting a panic attacks over someone's art is a pretty shitty situation to be in.
 
I am pretty sure most of them are about Tearzah. I did know splicekid from the catshop days but wasn't that immersed in his or Tearzah's world, merely someone who followed their blogs and checked in now and then. Not sure if there were more abusers than just Tearzah though but what I do know is that even Tearzah's close friends can become pretty ugly. :powerlevel: but I remember one time one of Tearzah's friends blasting at me for barely mentioning Tea in some critizising way without even saying any names.


This was from the time users kept asking him about what is up with Tearzah and getting pretty invasive.

Alright, despite this not being clearly said this really does smell like the you know who mentioned in the tags is Tearzah.

I do not know splicekid personally. But with what I have witnessed going on and seeing how it affects him to this day I can't help but feel really sorry for him(and the other victims).
 
So I read through this post and I’m surprised no one has mentioned the fact that her art style is actually a complete copy of ANOTHER artist. The artist goes by the name of Junko Mizuno, I believe she became popular in like....early 2000’s? Yeee I’m old. But, this artists has way more detail and depth. This Tear girl is a cheap copy and then she gets mad at people for copying her?! Mind blown. I’ll link some pics below but I’m commenting from my phone so idk how well this is going to work out. Lol. If it doesn’t work, just google the artist.

Broken images dude but I can see the comparison in certain pics

A lot of parallels with her Chibis, at least

If only tea could diversify her palette like this....or have an original thought. I don't think Ive ever seen anything this busy, original, interesting, or complicated come from her.
I think Tearzah legitimately has potential, but wastes it because she’s in a comfort zone that her fans would not allow her to leave.
I get the feeling that she had talent and simply let it atrophy away.
 
Tearzah calling this twink “muscle boy” really shows how little she knows about anatomy. ...Not like we couldn’t tell that already.
Also, it’s incredible how she blocks out her paint tool SAI brush settings. Anyone who uses SAI can tell you that one of its only downsides is that the brushes have very limited customization. There’s hardly anything to hide!

Her brushes aren't even anything special from what i can see lol, so why bother hiding them?

PK also apparently got mad at someone for asking about brushes even though PK uses a brush pack someone made. I know this because I have the same brush pack. Sure, she fucked around with the settings, but she didn't actually *make* her own brushes.

tl;dr People getting pissy about brush settings is stupid anyway imo
 
What did Ouma do to deserve this?
9FADC5E7-3D1A-48CF-9B22-E398AC91F5ED.jpeg


This one in particular is just... really bad. Way too much mirroring, barely any shading, the eyes are way too big, and what the fuck is wrong with his tongue? I personally think her art can look nice when she doesn’t mirror anything and puts effort into the shading and details (and I think some of her full body drawings are lowkey good, better than mine at least), but most of her art looks like this. Simple and bland with little to no shading or details, making it look stiff and flat.

Oh my god Ouma didn't deserve to be Tearzah'd. Nobody deserves to be Tearzah'd.

EDIT: At first I thought that this was just a commission. Tearzah drew this on their own accord and it still looks bad. I'm so sorry this happened to you, Ouma.

The Ouma reminded me of something I was going to talk about - which is Tearzah's usage of the paper textures you see in their art.

Putting textures on a picture is fine as long as you know what you're doing, and if you do it well enough it can add a lot to an image. But because Tearzah uses the same textures (which, according to their FAQ, can be found here), it's just sort of... there. Nothing would really change. And nothing's really added on when they're put in there, so what's the point of using them other than to make it look ~fancy~, even though Paint Tool SAI has filters that would do the same thing?
 
Late as fuck but... That had nothing to do with Tearzah, that whole thing was a big joke. Momo is definitely not Tearzah.

Something of note- the kid who pretended to cut off his finger was a purple guy kin who faked his hospitalization to be boyfriends with a Ted Bundy kin. And then pretended to be a lesbian who loves Steven Universe to avoid being found out. ...Anyways, although hilarious, that’s a completely different lolcow of mine and getting off track.

A different subject, but to avoid double posting: Tearzah’s art bothers me a lot because it takes little technical skill at all. There’s no real foundation to it, it’s all just decoration. Someone mentioned how much worse her sketches are compared to the finished product, and I’d say that’s why- her art is nothing without her easily replicatable stylizations, sparkles and lace, which most people agree is ugly anyways. The excessiveness of everything reeks of shortcutting and covering up mistakes/things she doesn’t know how to draw properly.

She also refuses to use more than a few monotonous color schemes, and I can see why, because when she does step outside the box even a little bit, she ends up with those muddy yellow-skinned monstrosities. Her kawaii pastel uwu style just does not accommodate many other color schemes, which heavily contributes to the blatant same-ness. Her old art succeeded with different color schemes, so yeah, I’ll blame it on her constrictive style rather than a fault of her incapability. I think Tearzah legitimately has potential, but wastes it because she’s in a comfort zone that her fans would not allow her to leave.

Even if she’s copying others, I’m glad that Tearzah is at least attempting slightly different styles- though I’m nearly certain it won’t become a habit, and she’s only doing it because it’s trendy. :(
fuck, this is a really good way of explaining tearzahs art. it's almost...methodical how she does things so repetitively. you could probably come up with a step-by-step formula that would apply to 95% of tearzahs art. it's probably why it all looks the fucking same and is so easy for randos to replicate. shitty sketch, lineart, mirror it, minimalist color palette, galaxy texture, sparkles and overlays out the ass. i think the potential for talent is there, and is very apparent in her old art. (which is sad, she seems to have gotten worse over the years)
 
Pretty sure that's supposed to be Ananta, one of her three literally autistic Gods.

hahahahhh...

"voice
ananta's voice is deeper.. its very monotonous. they always sound bored, and they usually are. they also sound very clear, but usually mumble. they can be loud when it is needed but they usually cant be bothered to speak up"


sometimes ananta mumbles, sometimes they dont. also sometimes they are loud except when they usually aren't. i am very well at characters.
as someone who is new to dollie, going through her art...it just looks like the same character with different wigs and skintones. the ~ * A E T H E S T I C * ~ is eye catching, and at points looks alright, but it looks like she uses the same color palette over and over.

That's their main problem: complacency. Tearzah doesn't want to improve. It's pretty obvious at this point. She just wants to draw the same shit over and over. If she was just doing this as a hobby, fine. But when you're doing commissions, you should have some layer of polish. It's suppose to be your best work because that's what people are going to see the most other than fan art. The fact that her artwork looks so bland is just unacceptable. She could do way better than what they provide to people.

I understand that when you commission someone, you want to see work in their style, but I still don't understand why you'd even want it with her work to begin with. It looks very unfinished. Especially with her eyes. They don't even have any color or light. They're just shapeless pupils.

Not to mention how a lot of those chibi commissions just have really sloppy lines. Compared to chibis they draw of their own characters it's low tier to be honest.....
