"who am i to judge if character development is lately only judged by how big the melons and hips are, right?
Right?
Right."
That was a comment i made lately which brought a stone rollin.
Im serious to say that since at least the last 5-3 years, character development between artists feel like its getting worse and worse. insteed of great looking characters with detail, backstory and like, we getting oversized monster-mini-mashed and totally oversized characters which are created for one thing only: sexability.
No offense, I cant show a sample here - but at this point and time im sure people saw and know what im talking about.
A lot characters (again, "as of late") look like they could be created by the same person. NOT drawn maybe but created.
Big hips? Boobs as the size of the whole body? bimbofied? Maybe shortstacked?
Yea, as of late, a lot - and i mean a L O T - artists to draw their characters that way and im sure not just me could be counting up at least 2 hands full of artists which do that "as of late".
This is not wrong if you do it "for" said purpose... IF some of the characters WOULD actually be "USED" for that purpose as well because some of the charcters were actually "changed" into said style or are still kinda used to resamble something like a "character" which doesnt fit at all anymore into the story which they "were" in or are trying to be told "with" them.
If i use a shortstacked, oversized, oversexualised character for a story this character sure doesnt "suit" into the theme the story "wants" to be told, it feels WAY off.
"This" can be handled if done right but, again (and srsly, come on...), "Those creations" are not created for that but literally for fanservice only.
Another problem is if people not just do it with "their" creations but also imply it on other, copyrighted characters like Lola or Renamon.
I never get pictures out of my brain. i saw THINGS i didnt want to...
I would L O V E to show and name samples but not only do i hold myself back not to do so, im sure on the pages im posting this journal, it would count as name-shaming but than again, i would L O V E to see comments about that and what you think about this whole situation. I understand that i might be in a boat that my characters are as of late drawn with to much nudity for sure and even i said to myself, i wanna fix that but imagen i would also have changed their proportions to..."those" things...urg...
So yea, leave a comment and we can have a nice talk n shit about that.
