I FAIL TODAY; WELCOME NEW FRIENDS

[maryohki]

I always add so many people on these friending memes that I forget who all is new and such and prom has damaged my brain, but WELCOME! It's dandy to meet you all, and I hope we get along well and such!

That said, I do this every time I get an influx of new friends, so here it is again. You're all free to ask me questions about anything right here. I

I think the art in that icon is terrible.

[maryohki]

Aw. I can see why people could think that, but it's from my favorite MAD, so I have a soft spot for it. Same with this one.

[maleficial]

I'm almost impossible to please, visually. With anything, really. When it comes to art in any sort of way art comes.

Huge critic. About 95% of the art people send me or link me I end up tearing to shits. I usually hold my tongue or don't comment at all on anything. I find a number of artists, a lot of the BNF's around on LJ too, to be craptacular. What makes it worse is that they are so popular that if you dare say anything other than "*_* I LOVE IT" they're either roll their eyes and huddle with their fanbase or they'll cry about it and get defensive... ooor they'll make a huge shitstorm. So no one says anything constructive ever, and their art doesn't get better it gets worse.

And that's so incredibly irritating.

I'm like that art teacher you can't fucking stand who fails most of their class every time. Only I can't draw for shits, really. Which might all make is mean and egotistical, but if you're really an artist you need to grow a backbone anyways.

[maleficial]

Fucking edit button. I miss you so much.

[maryohki]

I'd kill for usage of an edit button. But I'm cheap.

And yeah, I've noticed you being like that. I'm kinda the opposite. I can see artistic value in things even if they're not amazing, and can respect them as works of art, even if they don't really wow me. In the instance of the MAD that those icons are from, I excuse it as being a different style. But that's just me =3.

[maleficial]

I'm more abstract. Abstract makes you think, makes you wonder.

When a piece of art is suppose to look like something it's different. If you are becoming a manga artist, you might want to learn how to draw semi-realistically. There is style and then there is a complete lack of understanding anatomy.

[maryohki]

This is true. I think the fact that I can't draw to save my life and I've taken minimal art classes for various reasons leads me to be less critical of anatomy issues, though. That is, if it's not horrendously off like, say, a 12 year old's "manga" art, or something that looks like it.
