a photorealistc image of an upright banana that has a very grumpy face in its centre, with wrinkles around the eyes and mouth Parts of the banana shows black dots and lines. The background is white, which makes the banana stand out out more.

As an artist, a thing that I really miss of “older” videogames (or any not-that-photorealistc game, tbh) is the freedom to give my personal interpretation of a character’s features. So, well, here’s my Ashe :3

I've been scrolling your blog for over an hour thinking you did a photorealistic drawing of Dean at some point but I can't find it? Did I just imagine it? Or did something happen to it? It was just like a profile view? I think?

Hm, I don’t know. I don’t really have the skill level to do photorealistic art. I sometimes try to draw more realistic art though and I’ve compiled links to all (?) somewhat realistic Dean art for you, starting with art from 2012. (This is probably not what you’re looking for, but I like looking at art progress so I’m taking this opportunity *lol*)

There are artists who draw/ drew Supernatural fanart in a more realistic/ photorealistc style though! (I never know which pages to link, so this is an incomplete list of where you can find them)

… I’m still a bit stuck in the old fandom days, because I remember who used to be active in 2012 better than who is active today. I’m having white noise in my head at the moment. I’ll add more once my spark of intelligence is back (or people help my memory by sending me links *lol*)

I rubs me the wrong way that they decided that the audience does not understand how cats emote and communicate, and instead of having animators looking at real lions 24/7, they decided to spend their funds on a photo realistic scenery and fire AND rain.

There are no gentle nods and prods between the lions, Simba looks like a very young kitten instead of a more mature cub all the time.

The most natural movement is shown twitching of ears.

The walk cycles look very sameish on them all.

It looks all so unfinished and boring.

Every documentary shows more emotions of real animals, cause they Do emote.

They should have looked more at Aslan and made the faces a little less photorealistc ffs.

I am so not watching that, despite my initial excitement.

You know the main problem with the “live action” Lion King? Why it looks so lifeless?

The hyper realistic style is actually limiting the animators, rather than freeing them. The style makes it much harder to have memorable character designs and good expressions. Real lions don’t need to do things like emote in a way that humans can understand – but characters in a film do. The original movie was more cartoony not due to animation limitations of the time, but because that style genuinely serves the story better.

To show you what I mean, compare these two shots of Simba, from right after Scar says “run away and never return.”

Here is a clear reaction, with a strong beat for us to connect with before the character makes a decision. Even without any dialogue, even without any context, you can understand the emotion there just by the expression and the mannerisms. Is it realistic? No! He’s bright yellow and has eyebrows. But do we empathize with him? Yes!

Meanwhile, here is… a lion. Turning and running. No expression, no beats, no character moments, nothing. He actually can’t express himself because the animators are locked into the realistic style. If they tried to animate a strong expression as warranted for the scene, it would look terrible. Is it realistic? Hell yeah! Look at those textures! Look at that fur! But do we empathize with him? …nah. Not really.

To conclude: when you’re retelling Hamlet with a bunch of animated lions, cartoonish-ness is your friend, not your enemy.

FF7R worst case scenario: Halfway through playing it and having a great time, a familiar voice starts reciting poetry. Photorealistc Gackt comes on screen, reprising his role as Genesis. I shut the game off and throw my PS4 out the window.

It doesn't look that alike because I wasn't going for photorealism, I was just trying to apply stuff  I learnt about coloring and that's why I filed it under color practice
