the hades art is good but it's not sexy but they act like it is, it feels devoid of emotion tbh

@sun it's also mega "safe horny" and even quite ugly in places, that one face shot in the upper left is just... there's just something super wrong about it

All these women characters and there's a sheer lack of femininity

@coolboymew the artist is clearly skilled but this is just not their forte, they were a good artist that was incorrectly picked.

@sun I'd have to see the rest of their art to judge, but bottom left is a seriously good design that still ultimately leaves me feeling nothing whatsoever

To be this bad at being good takes skills

@coolboymew imagine being an artist and you have to dodge ideological minefields instead of expressing yourself

@sun @coolboymew Considering most of the people laying those mines down are artists themselves, I can't be upset. There are options to break ideological containment. It's on the person wanting free expression to take them.

@mrsaturday @coolboymew @sun the other problem is that internet artists want to be in the "big club", especially the animators who either want to be picked up by a studio or by some outfit like Glitch Productions.

They're worried about offending other people like that and especially the big wigs. Nevermind the fact that social media isn't like Furaffinity/NG where the admins have "skin in the game" with regards to online community drama.
