This is supposed to be the vampire chick from Adventure Time, according to the description.

You know what's sad?

There's the core of decent art design in this, but between the borderline-racist design and obvious Tumblrification it just looks like shit.

That's the part that I find hilarious, mind. Tumblr just keeps making characters more and more into racist interepretations, complete with buck teeth and blackened skin. By the current progression, by 2020, they will flat out be drawing jigaboo style art and trying to justify it.

They won't be happy until all characters are black. And not just black, they have to look like mushmouth or else it doesn't count.

Did they really have to do this? She's already a non-binary POC (she and Bubblegum used to have a thing and her skin colour is due to being half-demon. Her mother actually is African American).

She looks far closer to a character in Black Mirror who turned out to be something like an old lesbian living as a twenty-something bisexual in a virtual reality setting. Before she uploads herself for a lesbian romance. I'm sure I'm glossing over a lot but moral of the story: no way this character comes of as who the artist claims her to be.

I don't know if these count as SJW art, but I'm going to put them here anyway.

I don't know if this one really counts, as I think it looks good, certainly not as bad as a lot of others I've seen on this thread.

These two are supposed to be men, but I'm pretty sure men don't have bodies like that. Also, not to mention the fact that these two are supposed to be pretty skinny, but for some reason people like to fatten the one on the right up a lot.

(Also, sorry about the fact that these are unspoilered, but I'm new here, and have no idea how to do that.)

i found this because of one of those 'draw your ocs as' blogs, because the owner of the blog uses it to do nothing but advertise their oc webcomic(?)
im pretty sure the only couple white guys are the villains and they all have like 2 nationalities each. the green hijab one is probably trans because no boobies
also they really remind me of muppets with them big round noses and noodle bodies..

Shame, because I kind of like the art style (I actually think the muppet look works here in that it's not horrifically off-puttingly ugly; moreso endearing) but all that blatant pandering ruins what could potentially be a fun little project.
 
today i bring you a kirby gijinka by my personal lolcow.
art is subpar, the description is H E L L.

dark_matter__real__gijinka_by_xxnekokirbyichixx-daoqtps.jpg
Name: Dark Matter
Age: 8
Gender: Demigirl (sometimes Transfeminine, which means was a boy in the past, so please don't hate me)
Ability: Coming soon... Or does that matter if you don't watch or defeat the final boss?
Personality: Smart, cunning and sometimes jealous, who is better than her
History: Coming soon!

Other
-Secretly has dirty mind (WTF, too young for having dirty mind or was I right?)
-The youngest of all Dark Matter members (only if you count Gooey, she will be the 2nd youngest)
-Underling of Dark Matter member
-Goes She/They pronouns
-Has older sister: Dark Matter (Swordsman, but is preferred name as Dark since should not confuse which one is it)
-Has the most victim: King- I mean Queen Dedede
-Matter referred as sunflower sometimes (A.K.A. Her favorite flower)
That's one fucking dumb Kirby fan character and just bringing it up is terrible because it means I'm about to sperg a ton about Kirby.

she's 13. and already in the tumblr hell.
she also did a gijinka of dark matter (i think) that is intersex, without reason or explication.
Yes. Yes she did.

Basically, in the Kirby setting, there's a race of eldritch horror beings called the Dark Matters [Clan/Race] who are essentially mutant parasitic eyeballs of darkness who are ruled by a white eye called 0/Zero. You can tell if they're in a game because you'll see generic enemies that happen to have single eyeballs, and generally you can also recognize them if you look at enemy lists from Dream Land 2/3. The more [in]famous ones, however, are the ones simply called Dark Matter [Swordsman], 0/Zero, and 0²/Zerotwo.

Part of the problem is that Masahiro Sakurai doesn't like to use them, mainly because they weren't even in the games he made, and so generally his stories focus on other enemies, like Dedede, Meta Knight or Nightmare. Because Kirby Super Star was a blockbuster, that adds to a lack of knowledge and what-not.

Anyway so the reason this is stupid is because the Dark Matters hate happiness, friendship, and all that Care Bears stuff, because they're embodiments of darkness, and even the 'nicest' one ever, Gooey, may've been eaten by Kirby and turned into a nutzoid. They don't even really have genders because they breed via sprouting out of a giant eyeball that was later revived and started sprouting wings, a halo, and a tail. And both times fought via crying blood at Kirby.

...I think I'm rambling at this point. Sorry.
 
Because she likes food and her creator said she didn't draw her fat enough.

Which translates into a bulimic balloon, of course.

It's particularly funny because there's been many times when a character has warned others that if they over eat, they'll get fat. Sailor Moon herself has been shown using exercise equipment and dieting.

I never really minded the fad of making a character chubby or with a different body type. The problem is when the fandom and its artists decide that the character being fat is absolute canon and if you say otherwise, you're a horrible person.

The thing that bothers me about it is that they take characters that are supposed to be extremely active and physically fit and make them into morbidly obese ham planets, or take characters known for being attractive in canon and make them completely hideous. Their changes actively contradict the characters themselves and makes them all fit into the same cookie cutter tumblr designs as opposed to letting them have their unique characteristics. It's like oh this character's most prominent physical characteristic is the fact that they can move really fast? Make them about 100 pounds heavier and make them look as sickly as possible. This guy is supposed to be a macho brute who's super proud of his masculinity? Put him in a dress and make it so he's actually a transman. It's just stupid.

I'm just glad that the samurai anime fandoms died before Tumblr. I can live without seeing an obese trans partially-bald vitiligio Kenshin or Sessho-maru. :/ They'd have a field day with 90's anime TOXIC MASCULINITY characters. I hate what they've done with Sailor Moon, but most of the other oldies have at least emerged unscathed. ;__;
 
I can see that. But, I don't understand why they make her straight up OBESE.

You know why.

I completely agree. While I enjoy seeing redraws and revisions and even more "realistic" art, it really ruins things when it's obvious why the character was redrawn a certain way.

One example that comes to mind is Isabela from Dragon Age. She's a rogue who wields duel daggers, and her combat style is very fast. She also lives a very physical lifestyle. But there's this desire to draw her as obese or at the very least, very overweight. It's very off putting.
