#Newgrounds artstyle

[davekat-sucks]

Many curses upon you for making me look at Jane with arm hair, JK no curse only love.

I get your point about art styles from tumblr looking sketchy and lazy. I feel the same way but it’s hard to articulate why it bothers me because there’s a million things wrong with it. 1. It’s ugly 2. It’s disrespectful 3. If you’re critical of it, people assume it’s because you’re an “ist” or a phobe.

I often think these tumblr artists want people to look ugly on purpose. I think they’re trying to “redefine beauty.” Which means making black people look like a caricature, women having a lot of body hair and everyone needs to have scars and stretch marks.

What sucks in my eyes is that plenty of over weight people I’ve meet are great at makeup and styling their hair. They portray fat people like slobs and then pretend they are representing fat people well. Course, if you’re 300 pounds and five foot four that’s not good but what’s healthy isn’t my point right now. My point is fat people and/or chubby people are depicted by the tumblr crowd like they’re ugly monsters.

(((Off topic a bit; it’s pretty funny that Jane is the “fat” character in Homestuck and yet she’s the meanest bitch in HS^2 and the fandom agrees with the plot shitting on her.)))

So my main point is gonna be this; Art should be made to express something and/or capture beauty. The intent of these tumblr artists is to portray someone else’s characters through a tumblrified lens, so it feels more like a trend than a legitimate take on a character. No different from when everyone made characters look like pastel goths or wear swag 2013 LMFAO clothes. It feels like a dumb trend that’s existed past its due date.

Sorry my ideas are a bit all over the place here but I’m really trying to understand why the art style bothers me. That being said though, if people wanted to make any character any race or weight it’s something I welcome. Just I wish there was more thought about if what they’re drawing is done well or respectfully.

I like to see twilight sparkle drawn black or at least with dark skin cause it’s just my headcanon but I don’t want to see her drawn like a horrible stereotype like that pinkie pie drawing from a while back.

I wouldn't mind if grotesque art is shown as beauty itself in the context of the strange and horror one can make. Ugly art mixed with comedy too is great to show contrast that strange figures or shapes should terrify us but makes us laugh at how weird and crazy it is. People call that 'Newgrounds' art because of figures such as Egoraptor, Spazkid, and Zach Hadel (one of the creators of Smiling Friends), showing weird expressions or animations that looks so strange out of context by using grotesque art as their main point.

It is really is people thinking they have to take all the faults and flaws as a serious thing. If anybody dares laugh at it like it's a joke or think it is portrayed as shock value, they get labeled as the ist/phobia bullshit. It's strange that people want others to see fat, beauty, stretch marks, and everything that seemed as bad, as a positive thing. But the more they emphasize it, it can be taken to extremes that it turns into a negative. That's the paradox of it. God knows those people hate stuff like BBW or weight gain art because it "fetishizes" those traits. I don't mind strange weird art if the point of it is something like for laughs or horror. There probably can be gross art that still portrays it as oddly sweet. Just that the execution of it by the new gen, doesn't pull off well these days.

"BESTIES!"

Guess who's gotten into another very edgy cringe media! This guy! Right here!..bin and kushka becoming friends even though they aren't in the same universe..i can't lie and say this wasn't almost purely self indulgent.

Plus i tried to use a bit of the original pretty blood art style in this so thats why its more simple

why tf ppl complain about FNF community so much. Idk I was big on it in its peak and I basically ran into like, substantially less "bad" than I've had in other fandoms? Like not that I interacted with many fans but like as someone who consumed tons of tumblr fanart and youtube videos I saw

HUNDREDS of song writers

Passionate game coders just makin' cool stuff or stories

Inoffensive funny meme videos

Really cool animations

Tons of queer fanartists making FNF really really gay

Just nice comics in general

Like if ppl were mean then like. Yeah it was a large community, like, REALLY large, but I like...... never ran into negativity from it? Why do I only see ppl talking about how annoying fans are. Did I miss something?

Do you think one of flying bark animator was an eddsworld fan!!?

Aurora Raverized

Commission for Spwinktap, Aurora getting a concentrated burst of Newgrounds directly to the face. Not realising how it was incorporating into their body, slipping 'teh's and 'X3's into conversation more and more, body de-resing as overly edgy backstories would be installed into them.  Body falling out of their control as their reality turns into an AMV.

With the new Dragon Ball Daima trailer, I got motivated to show some ideas of my AU ( Alternative Universe ) . The original character ( OC ) or fan character ( FC or Fanchar) is Erika, whose I explain more in another post. This form is her equivalent of Super Saiyan ( Ssj ) blue, or super Saiyan rosé, since she has a divine soul ( or the west supreme Kai / Kaioshin / kaiohshin soul ). The purple is due to her connection with the ancient star that she created that made the other suns, being her Ultra Violet form.
