>>2776 >The style just doesn't appeal and looks uncanny to me sometimes. Can't say I hate it with a passion and sometimes I find something I like a fair bit though. it seems that anthro has its ups and downs like edits do. It´s just that they rely a lot on the artstyle from the person and what you consider fitting for that body type, even the design from the characters themselves define a lot what you can like out of them from the start.
>I sat down and thought about what I don't like and it honestly seems rather arbitrary. yep. I guess that the only clear line is whenever someone brings that cheap DA style that most people would agree that it leaves a lot to be desired.....aka, cringy.
>Only vague baseline is how furry/cartoony vs stylized, even than I'm not sure it's best to word it like that. I know what you mean and it normally depends on what you catch on the eye for the most part. Unless you draw official anthro characters like Ember or Capper, the subjectivity in this area is certainly polarizing.
>In pic related female and kid look fine but the male gives me creeps slightly. yeah, it´s certainly awkward. The female OC reminds me Elora from Spyro The Dragon for some reason though. But yeha, normally too humanoid don´t fit that much. Let alone who draws hooves or hands. At least, semi-anthro is simply about ponies standing up with just two hooves but their bodies remain untouched from their official design so that at least, has a clearer vision about how they can and cannot look like. In fact, this Daybreaker image I used for the Mirror of Fire comes with the semi anthro tag and she show a pose like she is looking suggestively evil.
>Don't let that stop ya though. Far worse one has to deal with and rules shouldn't be made on tiny personal preferences. I don´t know what I am doing about it. The only thing that has changed these days is that the R34 filter doesn´t cause me as much impact as before in terms of cringe nor fear. In the end, it´s all about the artist and the skills and effort put into the picture.
>I'm not even sure bad art would bug me, because at that point it'd be shitposting.
