With the vast amount of autistic homestuck fanart, it's actually pretty hard to find truly exceptional ones. Pocstuck isn't a new concept on this thread but everytime I see them on my dash I just had to post.

I ALWAYS feel better about my art! I never feel attack for not following these 'trends'.

More than 10 years ago, when I was young and new to internet and did not now English well enough I used to really like one Winx Club fanartist. Today, I was curious where she is now.
I deeply regret it.

From Shinola to shit. That is very night and day.

How the actual heck can one person make their art style go from tolerable with nice colors and attempting to get a grasp of anatomy to what the fuck in a 7 year span. The colors on their newest pieces (the first two more specifically) are just eye bleeding and don't clash well with each other.

And then I realized this was Tumblr we're talking about.

EDIT: Decided to try finding the artist and stumbled upon this

I'll give them credit for understanding how vitiligo works, which most Tumblrinas don't understand and just place the white spots on random parts of the body, but why. It's supposed to be Iris from Pokemon if you couldn't tell.

does anyone ever call out these artists for such blatant racial caricatures? also I zoomed in on asian Dave and he has a star of david necklace that i'm pretty sure was copypasted from somewhere and just...why? why do this
also is there a good reason for the nordic cross looking thing behind dave #1, or is it just to be cool

Ah yes, the full eclipse of the decent art style.

Know what? I'll give them credit and say that the drawing of the girl sleeping has some really nice coloring work done on it, but I can't help but feel like they're missing one little key thing when they draw their characters as being 'not conventionlly attractive' which is to say that they still make their faces look like Chris Sanders pin-up girls rather than being a fatter/bigger woman's. Where's the double chin, the rolls of neck fat, the chubby cheeks? You can make bigger body types work without making them plug-ugly, hell I'll even say that I like it when an artist tries out different body types but most of the time it comes across as either fetish fuel or half-assed virtue signaling about body-shaming.

I don't mind this design for Iris, even if the vitiligo is a bit much although I'd hesitate to say she's black. I think she's supposed to be more like Brock where she just has a tan considering that there is a black gym leader in Gen 5 if I remember correctly
 
Speaking of degeneration, I saw an artist I liked post she've got a new new Deviantart profile...it had tumblr linked in it. I literally teared up looking at the new art.

Their new style leans towards "generic storyboard art" now but I don't really agree this belongs on the thread. The fact that they put effort in the background and coloring makes them better than 98% of tumblr artists already.
 

1. Not the worst art in my opinion, but Aang's face is memeworthy, and what the fuck is up Katara's lips? Actually, looking more at it, her face looks like it's sliding off the head.

2. That looks absolutely fucking nothing like Venture Bros.

3. It looks like their nose got hit with a shovel. I appreciate the attempt of the use of dynamic perspective, but it doesn't look good without a grasp of anatomy.
 
Not to dissuade discussion or anything but I did get a bit of a tip off about some posts here, it's fine enough to post weird, tumblrina or sjw art, but we'd like some context. Please next time anyone posts an image explain why the art is SJW.

A good example in Tumblr Art is the prominent feature it's a gross fetisization or stereotype of a minority, but there can be other factors like the message or style that flags attention.

More on topic and more "Art Critic" Val, comin' straight at you: Crippled legs, vitiligo, huge scars, albinism - these are all fun traits to draw in a character, but they should not form the basis of all your art or a character. MANY of these people rely on purely luck-of-the-draw afflictions, quirks or traits to make characters interesting. If the only defining trait is an quirk, sexuality or injury and no other substance to them they aren't really more then a prop piece; and if someone calls out this one dimensional character, they are simply called bigoted and wrong.

All these artists appealing a guilty complex or a cheap way to appear as sanctimonious as possible.
