Oh god that undertale art. Why.

Need to work on art being a little less smudged over the lines but otherwise this is cuteee. Looks like something out of a children’s storybook.

do people really think this is bad art? the artist could very well be a beginner. and if they are, this is really good! the characters look very stylized but still resemble humans and its all just super adorable. + im a sucker for novolestia, we need More

@DrCoolcabbage  
Yes, but people would much rather use their trigger words that make them feel bigger. I honestly think it’s denial of the fact that some people won’t like a thing and the idea that the only reason they don’t like it is because “Day wasist! How dar thy!” Is just pathetic, as if they can’t not like the thing. Hell I don’t like it when a white character is drawn as black or a black character drawn white. Why? Because-that- actually feels racist, as if you can’t accept the character as their natural color. Am I gonna call everyone who does like that racist? No. I’ll just go on with my day like a normal person.

And lest we forgot that people going “You only hate this because you’re racist” doesn’t exactly endear them to it. Rather the opposite happens, I tend to find.

@Ajue  
Or it could be the fact people are tired of this kind of art being praised and told that it’s absolutely perfect. Or, the shippers not liking the poor ship, or the people who actually see poor art. But yes, there’s a possibility that there are racist. But in the same area there’s a possibility that it’s not. It’s ignorant to say the downvotes couldn’t possibly be because of poor artist which are a rampant problem on this site and in general.

¯*(ツ)*/¯ im not even pointing fingers specifically at anyone im just saying its ignorant to say the downvotes couldn’t possibly be because of racist bronies which are a rampant problem on this site and in general

Accusing people of being racist because they downvoted lousy art only makes you look like an entitled child. You might want to grow up a bit. And I hope you don’t pull this shit in the real world, because you’ll get bounced hard, and deservedly so.

@Ajue  
Exposure, my friend. Seems quite a few people saw this. You had at least 57 people bother to vote, so make of that what you will.

@DrCoolcabbage  
and? ive seen worse art get better scores. -33 seems excessive for ‘bad art’ 🤔

@Ajue  
1.The lines are ridiculously messy, as is the coloring inside them.  
2. Skystar’s dress looks like a slice of cheese and her legs look like they’re melting into It rather than scrunched up to her chest.  
3. Celestia’s face makes her look like a knock-off Lilo and Stitch character.  
4. Color bleed absolutely everywhere, especially on the arms.  
5. The eyes are uneven.  
6. Novo’s hair is a mess.  
7. Skystar’s shoulders are disproportionate to each other.
 
That might explain the score. You know, just a tad.

lol as if the brony fandom doesnt have a glaring racism problem and theres always assholes to come ‘critizise’ dark skinned humanizations
 
honey it has nothing to do with the art

The reason it’s hated is not because “People are racist!” It’s because it’s not drawn well and the ship itself isn’t that good either. I’ll get a assload of hate for this comment sadly but this kind of art style isn’t good.

@Coaldust  
@FrustrationInExcelsis
 
There might be some of that going on, but I think a large amount of it is that this art style has a lot do to with a very specific Tumblr art style that tends to get some eyerolls.
 
For example:  

 
Whether that was the artist’s intentions or if they even HAVE tumblr, I don’t know, but I think that pretty adequately explains a lot of it. The other part, as Meanlucario said, the art isn’t particularly stellar. It’s kind of cute, especially Skystar, but the messy lines and Celestia’s face… eh…

@FrustrationInExcelsis  
It not being porn also doesn’t help it.

@Meanlucario
 
I’ll grant you that art’s not stellar, but I’ve seen plenty of pictures with worse art and higher scores than this one.
 
I also know that people taking issue with characters not being drawn as white is something a recurring issue on this site, so I hope you’ll forgive some cynicism on my part.

@Michaelsety  
@Coaldust  
The art isn’t that good either.

@Coaldust  
I see. Now I get it.

@Michaelsety  
For the same reason black depictions of characters are often voted down. Some people are racist dicks.

If it is, I guess we can say Queen Novo is a gay fish.
 
I’m so sorry.

@Meanlucario  
It’s always shipping.
 
ALWAYS.

This is great, but why the heck is this score bad!?!?

Is this shipping?
