When you lovehate someone's art.

by
Does it ever happen to you that browsing furry art you find a new artist with a beautiful style who only draws stuff you hate?

You absolutely love his lines and shapes, his characters are attractive and well drawn, his colors are gorgeous... but all his artwork features a topic that makes you go ugghhhh... Whatever grosses you out or rubs you the wrong way, that happens to be his favorite kink!

You wish he would draw something different from time to time, but this is a one-track artist into the one thing you don't like to see.

What do you do? Ignore despite his/her talent? Or watch because of his artistic skills alone and ignore the off-turning topics?

Just curious, not based on anyone in particular.

P.S. Since some people are asking, no, this doesn't include anyone in my watching list. I was talking in general, but the inspiration was a gallery full of well drawn but disturbing examples of gore and body horror.

yep happens all the time. and it depends on how often said bad content is posted, Once and a while i will watch, all the time i won't
ThaPig

Usually that's what I do. But I can't help to think of the talent "wasted" on something I can't enjoy.

yeah, that happens all the time. I still watch them and if they're doing commissions (and I have the money) i'll pay them to make the content I like.

I can relate to great artists who are bad people.  For the most part, if I don't know anything about the person who is the artist, I won't care, but if I know the person is a dick, I'll refuse to even acknowledge their art.

That too. An artist's attitude is a big turn-off for me. If you're a cunt to  everyone especially if they're the ones putting food on your table,  then  i will immediately unwatch them.

Well, that's a totally different topic. I'm used to the fact some people can create the most beautiful art in the world and be a total douchebag as human being. But here I'm not talking about the artist himself, but his preference for a topic that makes you gag.

A lot has to do with what I have tag blocked too.  If an artist's gallery here seems rather empty for the audience they have, I'm quite certain that most of their work has triggered one or more of my blocked tags.  As a result, I really don't see their work much, if at all... so I can't really comment directly on the topic at hand.

It's something I have rarely related to art themes. I have a strong stomach and don't mind watching artists with nasty tastes. It's usually the artists personality that turns me away.

I think I have a good tolerance for grizzly stuff in real life, but when it's drawn I find it disturbing. Because it's not the topic itself that bothers me, but the fact someone finds it arousing.

So, what am I drawing that you don't like?
ThaPig
6 years, 9 months ago
Nothing really. I'm talking about really gross things here, which according to your profile you also dislike.

There is no kosher way to respond to that.

If it's ONLY thing they draw and nothing else I might enjoy, then simple - I won't watch them. If artist does arts that are related to my interest between those I don't like, then I wait till they post something up to my taste. I have a few like that in my watch list.
ThaPig

Usually I can watch someone like that when there is a variety of topics. But I meant when it's someone who never draws something outside a particular disturbing topic.
NeksusCat
6 years, 9 months ago
Then no, I wouldn't watch them.

There are many artists I like that draw nothing but uninspired mainstream video game characters.
I understand. Porn of shitty pokemon is the only thing that gets views.
It's still a waste of talent and I want nothing to do with them.
ThaPig

Yeah, but I'm not talking about boring stuff... I mean the stuff that makes you want to pour boiling bleach on your eyes..

I try to set up filters so I mostly see the few things I like.
ThaPig
6 years, 9 months ago
Me too... but from time to time I discover a new thing I didn't even know existed, so it catches me unprepared.
SenGrisane
6 years, 9 months ago
Yes. Humans are creative in creating disgusting things too.

And that's great. I have nothing against the fetishes I don't like... I just some times wish those people drew the ones I like.

My list of blocked keywords is long, (castration, sex with corpses, sex acts that are dangerous, defecation...)and,yes, every now & then a keyword or even an artist I don't want to see again.

I have gotten this a fair few times, but between filters and blocks I don't see much. I don't really look at the things I don't like, even if it is well crafted.
ThaPig

Seriously, if I block every little fetish and kink I don't like my Inkbunny page looks like an aerial view of the Arlington cemetery...

But I was talking of the most extreme stuff.

There are some artists I regularly check out but who are not my watchlist. Sometimes it's also that I love their works on one topic, but not on another, or only certain aspects of their work.

actually found one that fits the bill yesterday, liked the style but the gallery was full of stuff i just don't understand, no idea how anyone can like that stuff.
did not watch them, but still thought it was a shame that i couldn't.

There is an artist whose art style I absolutely adore, but 99% of his stuff are "ferals", which aren't really my cup of tea.

lol oh yea. happens to me all too often. There's this artist who's textures, backgrounds and anatomy are amaAaAaAaAaAazing but all they do is draw creepy pokmon characters *sighs*

just found an artist the other day who does amazing CG renders. like silky smooth. great atmosphere but they seem to have a thing for rodents and foot fetish ugh @.@;

Then ofcourse there are the artists who are just generally fantastic but like 95% of their stuff is creepy cub art, so my filters just show about a half dozen pics in their gallery when, it should be pages and pages.

just can't win lol

Yeah, it has happened before. I just unwatch them when the content is more objectionable to me than their style. Other artists can draw that same or a similar style and draw much more agreeable content :P
