American Miku More Macho Than Ever

Actually I do like it more than Tony's. I think Tony's art is over-glorified and other otaku are just afraid to come out and say how boring and unimaginative the majority of his work is.

Well what WERE you expecting this is SanCom

And we DON'T think it's bad, but and I mean BUT it's like going into a pet club full of cat lovers, you know what your getting into but you still scream DOG and well that's what you get.

All SanCom members know how to appreciate art but we just like Tony's kind than others

What's sad is that you guys expected different

if your definition of "art" is: "looking more like real life"
than this indeed is better art than the Tony version.

But if this is your definition of art...
wouldn't you have to consider it bad art for the illustration errors?
Most obvious being lighting inconsistencies.

It is trying to be a realistic painting but the artist is, considering the project, likely due to time constraints, incapable of creating good art in this, by your preferences, superior art-style.

We accept that someone will consider a style as superior, but even then, what is "better" art given two specific images?
An illustration perfectly executed in an inferior style?
Or an illustration that's kind-of done right in the superior one?

Even if your choice differs, does that mean that the other "fuckers don't know shit about art." ?

"Actually I do like it more than Tony's. I think Tony's art is over-glorified and other otaku are just afraid to come out and say how boring and unimaginative the majority of his work is."

I have to kind of agree. I don't really like Tony's drawings as much as most people. My main problem is that they're usually really boring to look at.

Are they drawn skillfully? Yes, quite skillfully.

But I just think they lack expression. Even when they're smiling, it doesn't feel like they're actually smiling. Just for reference, I decided to look through some of his tagged stuff.

This is the only one that I found fun to look at. This guy actually has an interesting look to him. Every other picture I've seen, they look like humanoids made to simulate emotion.

Just my 2 cents.

As for this picture, I think it's drawn better than Tony's works, but I also think it's out of character.

We all know it's OK and some will prefer it..
The eyes are closed so it couldn't be cross-eyed like the previous one.

Still no acting skills though., unless of course she was intended to be drawn being shot from behind. (which would explain pose, light-source and facial expression)

The main problem I've got with this US-Miku is that the painting is missing the cleanliness, and "radiation" necessary for depicting a "perfect" artificial life-form.
Rather than "glowing" like a typical representation in this scenario (whether angel or charged-up gynoid), this US-Muku is a dull back-lit object, giving the character a dead feeling.
(not even the spread hair was drawn to be translucent like it would be in reality, or this illustration http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/ja/post/show/465886
The most ironic point is that the wings were drawn to be rather translucent in parts that wouldn't be on a real wing, but I guess they could be the light-source, whereas the hair was shaded as simple shiny solid object... )

I wonder what a Miku by Hajime Sorayama would look like, he'd seem to be the perfect artist for pulling off a 100% photo-realistic version ^^;

I understand you fuckers don't know shit about art.

^ I don't understand you don't know shit about us.

People are bitching about her legs HERE but not in that disjointed piece of shit figure that everyone was going on and on about a couple months ago? REALLY?

She looks beau*cough cough whore*tiful doesn't she?

But this just a futile rebellion soon they SHALL know the way of the MOE

@yuriphoria

I don't know if you're an artist, but either way that isn't exactly true. You don't need to be an artist to see that manga-styled art can have just as detailed character designs including super-realistic body details and proportions as works of western artists. It might not be the norm and depends on the artist, but you can't just dismiss that fact.

What the hell have they done to her legs!?! Are they made of rubber or something?!

No, this is not well done. Good coloration, but the actual lineart must have been truly horrendous.

Well it IS good artwork, and it's more realistic too. Probably took more time even.

It's manga art which simplifies and streamlines designs to unrealistic extents. Beautiful unrealistic extents.
