I’m not going to post some bullshit answer that puts me on top. Instead, I’m going to tell you honestly what spites me in this picture in particular.
 
It’s either incredibly amateurish, lazy, or both; and yet you claim you and everyone else who upvoted it genuinely like it, and a lot of effort was put into it. While on the other hand, my art has recieved significantly more downvotes than before, despite the fact that my technique improved and I put a lot more effort into my recent pics than before. So yes, I’m spiteful because of selfish reasons. I don’t think it’s fair that a lazy piece like this would have a positive score while my stuff barely stays above zero, if it even does.
 
Also you saying “there’d be nothing here to talk about” implies that you think (or at least claim) there’s nothing wrong with this picture, and that made me start arguing in the first place. And don’t put words in my mouth, I never said my opinion is law. But when I tried to explain objectively what’s wrong with the pic, you didn’t even bother to reply to that. Or do you think the proportions and shapes are all perfectly okay here? When I dared bring up that this artist should try to practice those by looking at how others did it, you told me I shouldn’t tell them to copy styles, even though I never said that either. The fact that they made vectors and didn’t bother applying what he saw on them doesn’t make it any better.

I think one of the main reasons I have a problem with your argument is this: Why do you care so much? Why do you care if this artist doesn’t make art that is aesthetically pleasing to you in particular? If other people like it, there shouldn’t be a problem with it. people genuinely like the work. but you only see it as being trash and that you think everyone else shares this mentality, and is just pitying this artist with good comments. People legitimately like this person’s work, and give him praise for that because they honestly like it. and then you come along with this whole “my opinion is law” mentality and believe that this is scum and should be banished because it doesn’t meet your requirements.
 
We’re praising an artist because we genuinely like what they’ve made, not because we’re pitying them.
 
And plus, you don’t have to just tell a bad artist they’re good. You can tell them they’re good and that they’re improving, which gets the point that I wanted to make across. But by telling an artist they’re bad, and that they aren’t improving, it demotivates them and makes them want to quit. How would it make you feel if someone looked at something you put quite a lot of work into and just tore it up and called it garbage? And I’m betting right now as you’re reading this, you’re thinking of some bullshit answer that would put you as the person on top, something like “I would take their criticism to heart and ultimately work to become better.”
 
No, that’s not the case. That’s often never the case. ask any artist when they recieved hate from starting out how it made them feel, and if they questioned continuing from there, from my experience, they’ll probably tell you that they felt like shit, and that their work was worthless to make.
 
Rethink your mentality, and quit posting under the safety net of Anonymous. You’re just too scared to show who you really are in the possiblity that is smears your persona. And don’t think about just making some random account to say you’re that guy off anon, It won’t work.

@Filly Moonshine  
And telling bad artists they’re good will make them think they don’t need to improve. This guy has 45 pictures posted here with his artist tag, and this has the exact same mistakes as his early things (discounting the vectors he made, since they’re just vectors from the show which he claims to have made but then disregarded what he could’ve learned from them). And guess what, this is because everyone was so busy telling him he’s the best special snowflake artist that none of them bothered to tell him what he was doing was shit.
 
Also no, I’m not a parent but I can see on myself that being told by dozens of people that my art was great makes me subconsciously fine with the way I draw, unless some asshole (like me now) points out that in fact I could improve on this and that. It just so happens that this guy has made so many mistakes it’s easier to list what he did right and that would be probably only the idea.

@Background Pony #A11A  

 
See, here’s the problem with one of your earlier comments. Your mentality of telling bad artists that they’re bad to get better doesn’t work.
 
Telling bad artists that they’re bad doesn’t make them get better, it makes them not want to do it because if nobody like their stuff, why even bother? Do you tell a kindergarten student his/her crayon drawing is complete garbage? No, you take that shit and put it on the fridge and praise them for being creative.
 
I hope you aren’t a parent cause your kids would be depressed as hell with your kind of mentality.

@Filly Moonshine  
All I’m gonna respond to that is that I was calling myself an asshole, not you.

@Background Pony #A11A  
Why praise bad artists?  
Because if you bash on bad artists, they aren’t going to improve. This isn’t a Masterpiece by a long shot but it’s a start. And what of praising a developing artist makes me an asshole? So trying to help an artist get better is a bad thing? If you think that good artists get way less praise than they deserve, maybe it’s because you’re here complaining about bad art instead of being over there complimenting their good art.  
But no, you’re here wasting your time commenting on someone’s artwork because it isn’t professional and isn’t up to human proportions. And all under the guise of anonymous because you’re too scared to voice your opinions on your own account.
 
 
@Background Pony #A11A  

 
I think you should look up the definition of imitation. It is to mimic, otherwise known as copy someone entirely. And you’re arguing that you didn’t tell them to copy.
 
Here’s what I’m going to say. For a starting artist, it’s a good start and it’s nice, but your behavior is sending the message that artists should never post their starting art ever because it isn’t the same quality as their good stuff. Here’s a shocker: artists don’t become good overnight. It takes years of practice.
 
So do us all a favor: quit whining on anon about someone’s art that isn’t up to YOUR standards and go praise those artists you say deserve them so dearly.

@Filly Moonshine  
Also just to clear it up, I never said to copy other people’s style. What they could copy is how to draw a human(oid) character in whatever style they choose to use.

@Filly Moonshine  
You can chalk pixelation and MSPaint to style, I guess. But it being proportionally off and the noodly appendages make it look lazy at best, making it not a good piece of art.  
One more asshole-card to play: you’re exactly the kind of person that I described in another comment here. Why praise bad artists when we have good artists as well? And I don’t even mean myself, I know I suck but at least I try to get better. I mean actual good artists that get way less praise than they deserve.

@Background Pony #A11A  

 
Maybe if you understood what art styles are and how each person’s is different, you’d understand that this is a good starting point. You can see what it is and it conveys the point they’re trying to make which is Sunset is dressed like baby new year and it’s kinda embarrassing.
 
Rather, you’re telling them that the only way they’re ever going to be successful as an artist is to copy other artists styles. And there isn’t anything wrong if they want to use paint. It’s simple, easy to use, and in my opinion adds to this because the line work is good, not jagged, and the pixelation is cute.
 
It’s obvious why this has a positive score, it’s good.

@RunDevilRun007  
Allright, let me try to be constructive here.
 
The body proportions are not like real humans OR Equestria girls. The appendages are noodly with no care about how they’re supposed to look either. The face resembles a face only because it has eyes and a nose on it. The diaper is completely off-shape, and so is the pin. The linework looks like doing it in crayon would be an improvement.
 
The only constructive thing I can say to the artist is: look at other artists’ stuff and try to practice by imitation. Also use something other than MSPaint.

@Background Pony #A11A  

 
Well I can tell the difference between constructive criticism and just talking shit. And I’ve not really seen any constructive criticism, just shit talking.

@RunDevilRun007  
I can do better, I just rather not say who I am.  
Also I’m under the mentality that we shouldn’t tell bad artists/writers that they’re good, but instead should push them to get better.
 
It just seems that abdls think it’s acceptable for artists and writers to make work as if they were regressed themselves. Or are you (we?) just that desperate for new content?

I live under the mentality that if you can’t do better then you can’t talk shit. This is miles ahead of anything I can draw.

@Filly Moonshine  
It looks like it was drawn by a 4-y-o who never held a pen before.  
Positive score how.

@Background Pony #A11A  
No we aren’t, cause there’d be nothing here to talk about.

Are we not going to talk about how horrible the art is tho

I sure want to be that guy who changes her used diapers and puts fresh ones on her cute rump.
