Fatter isn't always better by ~xyxtlin:iconxyxtlin:

Artist's Comments

<rant>
I get a little tired of people implying (or just outright saying) that anything fatter I draw is always better (no matter how much work I put into something I've just drawn that just happens to look "slimmer" pay no attention to higher quality line art folks!).

I was feeling a bit more irked about it last night than usual, I decided to make a statement with this little "tutorial"

Yes, I could just draw super fat things, yes I could do drawings in 5 minutes flat... why wouldn't I? because I care about quality.

Admittedly I'm just an amature artist, and I don't have nearly as much talent as most people here on DA, but at least I care about some of the art I do.

</rant>

Post Production note: "Looks" was a typo, and I'm too lazy to go back and fix it

not really intended as an insult to a specific person, lol. More like just a venting of my frustrations.

To entirely honest with you, I agree with what you're saying here... While sometimes, it is cute and/or fun to see girls on the very large end of the spectrum, I still want them to resemble humans, and not beanbags with a face. I really appreciate it when someone puts forth the extra effort to make a drawing look good, and not just churn out fanservice... I applaude you for stating your point. You have a lot of talent, and it's a shame some people don't see that in your art... and just look at the fact that a girl is chubby or so...

nyu *hugs* I can see how that's very annoying. It doesn't matter wether they're big or small. I watch you because of your neat style and awesome coloring. I think that the care you put into your work really shows and it's always awful to not have your quality work appreciated.

I hope ranting made you feel better. That's what its for afterall XD.

well thanks for your support. I probably stepped on a few toes this time, but something needed to be said ^^;

I don't really care what other people draw personally.

As far as I'm concerned, they can draw this kind of stuff all they want, I just tired of people asking me to draw things I don't want to draw, lol

For some people it's about the art and for others it's about the fetish. Judging by the flag you've got there in the last step I'd say this is aimed directly at the people who are typing one handed when they actually get around to commenting.

If there's one thing the mindless masses don't care about it's the effort put into a piece. You could spend hours, hell, even days perfecting a drawing and when you post it up alot of what you'll get is "lol tats hawt!!!11".
Take a check around the other WG artists on DA who churn out spheres with faces drawn on them and still manage to pull in about a thousand more favorites just because they can make a few dozen of them per day and thus keep everyone with no taste happy.

This may hurt a few peeps feelings, but it needs to be said.

hmm, interesting points. Yeah its odd how the "community" works sometimes. Its not like I really care about praise or anything, but the situation you just mention certainly makes a lot of what people say about art in general seem pretty hollow.

I think I need to just drop the pinup thing all togeather and focus on something original from now on

maybe a comic or something....
