What ‘fixing’ art is meant to be: “You put your shadows to far left. Try moving them more to the right” What people actually do: “I don’t like the type of shoes your character is wearing.”

[@blue-iu7hv]

Trueee Even if they're "fixing" it with good intentions (which i highly doubt), their concrit needs a lot of work. Constructive criticism should always be objective. This is literally what the opening of most artbooks i read say

[@asgardiandino]

There's a difference between constructive criticism and it meaning to improve your piece or your art style, and just saying to fix it because you don't like it.

[@blue-iu7hv]

@mega stryke Gameplay yes, if people are creating anything but abstract art, then it stands to reason that they must atleast check out the basic principles of art. i'm not talking about realistic anatomy. im saying structure, positioning of objects in a 3d space, the relationship of lights and shadows, color theory, etc. criticism driven by subjective feelings will not help you discover what is the problem. say for example, an art that you feel is slightly off. you cannot fix that by thinking, "oh, i can't draw" or "ah this is bad art" the same way you cannot "fix" an art by saying "ah, this is offensive" or "my goodness, this doesn't support equality!" not only is the latter advice a matter of a problem regarding the themes the artist picks up, it is a criticism that evolves to being a criticism of the artist, rather than the (technical execution of) art, while staying on the frame of (technical execution of) art criticism. of course, the topic of what people choose to draw, what is appropriate to draw, and whether other people online have a say in it is a whole 'nother topic entirely, which i'd rather not get into. but staying on the "fixing art" topic, if you indeed want to be guided by basic art principles, the best way to improve would be to ask yourself "the shape feels too exaggerated" or "i have made the eyes a little too close, let's try to space it next time" rather than commiserate in self pity. how you execute your art depends on you entirely, but you cannot force people to like it, the same way other people cannot force you to abide to said principles if you don't want to

One of the things I hate most about this “de-sexualizing” art is that it almost always involves making a female character’s breasts almost non-existent. While I can see the sexualizing issue in making a character’s breasts disproportionately big, like the Ochako art, removing a character’s breasts to prevent “sexualization” is also kind of creepy? As someone who developed a large cup size in my early teens, I have spent my whole life being shamed and sexualized for something I have no control over, and doing this to female characters and calling it “fixing” them just perpetuates that.

[@hannahz3377]

Elbin Alejandro Feliz Gonzalez Huh? I was just answering the question. The thing is, more body shapes are being drawn now, so it’s better, but constantly only having one body type to please one type of audience when it’s aimed at a different audience isn’t the way to go. I don’t care what the producers do or what ends up getting drawn, but a lot of girls struggle with their image because of constantly comparing themselves to figures like this or getting overly sexualized because they have the “desired” body type. Besides, why would there be sexual content in anime or shows aimed for kids and teens? Also, the character designer is in charge of what the character looks like, so even if the animators wanted to change the body shape, they aren’t allowed to. Hope this answers your question :)

I feel like Zeena is honestly incredibly racist tbh. And they have the audacity to think that White, Latina, Asian, Christian, Lightskin, Jewish, Other religion and race people DONT EXIST, then I think they need to go see a therapist. As a Muslim, slapping a hijab won’t make a character more normalized and desexualized. Although the purpose of the hijab was to show modesty, it doesn’t mean that every single non Muslim person should just slap more modest and covering clothes on characters, it’s utterly useless. It’s also just putting down other religions, making their hair the headscarf, turning socks into pants, it’s awful. Again, as a Muslim, I hope Zeena gets what they deserves.

Those two then focused on her chest telling me how I needed to work on my proportions, redrawing her collarbone to were it jutted out of her skin, and drawing a shirt over her tank top.

I’m sorry, but as a woman, I actually follow some NSFW artists who draw their characters in a pin up style simply because I resonate with that body type. Robaato art for instance has work like that. I get sometimes proportions can look weird because of stylization, but I feel like these art fixers are just projecting insecurities or trying to gain some sort of clout by virtue signaling rather than providing actual helpful tips or criticism.

[@mrs.quills7061]

blabla BLA I think that really depends on your genetic and hormonal structure. Some people store fat in more areas than others, some stay slim even during pregnancy, some are super sensitive to hormonal forms of birth control and will grow bigger in their breast area, and some have bigger thighs and butts, but are smaller up top. Estrogen is responsible for breast and hip growth, but your genetics influence your body structure. Weight lifting can also push your chest muscles out to give the appearance of larger boobs, but fat loss will generally make them smaller.

[@kaica1853]

I think it is about the context and history around as well. Many characters have their design to represent something in the same universe, to make us an idea of how they are like just by looking at them, you know the most basic rule of character design. And still yeah, changing them just like it, it's not taking in consideration what was the actual meaning of the character's existence.

It’s a lot harder to tell a character’s exact appearance from a book unless the book has illustrations or accurate descriptions, it can be very easy to think someone has white skin but actually has black skin because it wasn’t explicitly stated. Illustrations are very helpful in figuring out how to accurately draw a character and understand their background, which is why I think most books should have some illustrations in them. And some images of the characters in color so you know their exact hair, skin, and eye colors.

Fixing art is degrading to the artist. It shows that the fixer has no respect for the art, character, or artist that they're "fixing" the art of. Redrawing art in a different style is, for most, flattering. It shows the redrawer has respect for the artist, the art, and the character, and simply wants to see how it would look drawn in their own style. There's such a big difference between these two things and it's pretty much all to do with the way it's done. You can more than fairly redraw art and politely give pointers to the original artist in a constructive and friendly way, such as going, "I thought a brighter shading palette accentuated their skin and hair better. If you'd like, I could share the shading palette I used so you can try it out yourself."

[@chelsthegameruiner8669]

I certainly wouldn't. I like making cool female characters. I remember doing two little doodles of a female Shinsengumi character and her sinister alter ego variant. Designing characters is easier said than done. I also remember being accused of being a racist not too long ago for creating undead nazi characters so I basically had to prove my innocence. When it comes to me creating villains, I just prefer to look at history for real life cases of evil instead of the generic evil warlock kidnapping the princess trope from fairy tale stories

[@pageone_]

Taking characters and changing them into minorities because you 'want to be inclusive' has the same vibe as authors that make token minority characters, that have no real purpose within the story, to avoid backlash from the the public. If you want representation: Create your own characters that have personality and arent just tokens Hype up shows and other media that has these characters so that more people can see them Politely give critisism (which is not hateful or demeaning, critisism is literally giving them your opinion on HOW they can improve- not making a rude comment or 'fixing' work. It's OPTIONAL for them to take it and you should only give it when absolutley necessary- don't give it if they specifically ask not to)

[@neutralweird]

people shouldn’t just call it “fixing”, it’s like saying it’s wrong or broken... “redesigning” with their own twist or something like that is non-conflictive..

[@deskara6592]

True... I'm always interested in seeing other people's takes on popular characters but it doesn't always mean that they're trying to be better than canon. At the end of the day it's mostly just harmless fun and completely different than going after a specific artist's characters/art and claiming to have "fixed" their content. That's disrespectful at best.

[@baconsoda7011]

I feel like it makes more sense to say redrew instead of fixed since fixed implies something was wrong or broken about the drawing

[@justjello7599]

There is a difference between redesigning something because it's a cool idea and wanting to try it out and "redesigning" something because it doesn't fit your overly high moral standards and having a complete disregard for development, context etc

As a professional artist, we also have to deal with people higher on the chain then us that tell us how to draw stuff. I've had to sexualize characters I did not want to sexualize before or do design changes I did not want to do. Artists in the industry don't always get to draw what they want, and rarely do we get away with things we like.

[@seraby7151]

It's fine because you are working with an art director/manager with a vision and target audience. You don't gain anything from these troll artfixers. Unless this art fixer is a pro, most of the time they just want a different style from your drawing. You and the artfixer wont gain any money from it, just bad attention.

"We aren't this weird ashy color, we have more reddish brown skin" I'm a black artist, and even I know that we as black people can come in cooler undertones. Mine are warm-neutral, but I know that we all don't have warm brown skin. Maybe the artist you're critiquing needs to understand how to color black and brown characters with a range of undertones, but calling cool undertoned black people "ashy" is not the call. Consider the movie Moonlight and how in the beginning of the movie it brought up how a black person with cool undertones can have a beautiful deep indigo color in the moonlight. (EDIT: Thank you so much for the likes everyone! 💖🥺 Please keep this conversation healthy and mature. I'd hate to repost it due to some troll.)

[@Zayizzle]

You would think someone so determined to make every anime character black for some reason would know black people have more than one skintone. I am a black artist and not every brown skinned character I make have reddish brown skin. So I guess every black person with cool undertones I met were just "super ashy".

[@chef_tori]

I'm a beginner artist, and undertones are still a bit new to me, but yeah, I always try to consider stuff like that. So that's good to know!

Thanks for this comment. I'm an Indian chick with warm yellow undertones, and while some can argue that cooltoned dark skin is less common, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist or isn't worth depicting. Dark skin with blue undertones is absolutely stunning and I don't like that someone would write off that look as "ashy" and unattractive.

Oh my. I remember I once had a friend on deviantart who was an art fixer, but they now deleted their account and we lost contact (luckily). I remember at that time, I was highly engaged in the My little Pony fandom and we met when that person was critizising a really popular MLP artist (Velveagic Sentry) because of envy. I feel ashamed now, bc at that time, I was envious of Velveagic as well, so I listened to that person and talked to them. First, I agreed that they had a point. They mainly critizised Velveagic for always using bases instead of fully drawing their art themselves. However, soon they started critizising everything on her and also on other MLP speedpainters with a lot of subscribers and they took their designs and made redesigns of them, as if it was forbidden to use a certain kind of color combination or color saturation. I remember they always critizised those people using too bright colors for their fankids, although the show itself has a very bright color palette. So they changed everything onto their OCs, making the colors dull, altering the hairstyles and even changing their species, their names or their backstories. They even went so far and took someone's MLP fankids, changed their designs and their names and sold them as a commission, even though those OCs aren't theirs. And yeah, that's probably all I gotta say. Now Imma say that this person was toxic and envious of everyone, who had more subscribers than themselves. You should let people draw what they want and how they want to
