de gustibus AND what am I doing at the devil's sacrament and all that, but some of the fanart out there (not even necessarily on tumblr) is stylistically dissonant as fuck
why are you drawing gore like yaoi if your goal is to actually repulse and horrify, not aesthetically drape bowels like garlands and spew arterial blood in a wide arc to lead our eyes to the pleasing shape of the arm holding the dagger? the picture isn't doing what you think it's doing!
why are you drawing manic bloodlust like a disney ingenue's big-eyed fascination at the thrill of flight? that dreamworks eyebrow can't convey malice and threat, that fang is dripping strawberry jam, there's no visceral fear to be had from the youthful petulance of those crossed arms! the picture isn't doing what you think it's doing!
most of all why are you drawing ostensibly powerful female characters like softcore ecchi, eyes huge, finger to the lip, coy and boob-and-butt-posed with a slit all the way up to her cooch when she's supposed to bring the wrath of god upon her enemies that very moment, yet she looks as threatening as the body pillow this type of illustration belongs on? do you not see how incredibly poorly your chosen style serves your stated theme? do you not care?
the picture 🖼 isn't doing🤦 what you think ☝️ it's doing! 🥴🥴🥴🥴
